iwannabesupermodel. Welcome to this thread! Below are the steps and tips that most of us have taken (and still following) in our weightloss regimen, assuming that you are in perfect health and not taking any medications/prescription drugs. I consolidated it in below list but other GTers may add more helpful tips to kickoff your own weightloss journey.
To begin with, losing weight is not for the faint of heart, so please take time to read this long list
Goodluck!
1. Determine your current weight (and height).
2. Determine your goal weight.
3. Determine your leadtime or target weightloss per week/month.
4. Calculate your BMR/BMI (use online calculator).
5. Calculate your
total calorie needs per day6. Decide how much calories you are willing to shed from your daily caloric needs
7. Set your
daily calorie intake to lose weight8. Decide which approach to use in achieving your goal (exercise/gym or indoor gym, low carb-high protein diet, ketogenic, paleo, egg diet, banana diet, etc). You may also consult a registered dietician/nutritionist if you cant decide which approach is best for you.
9. Evaluate your current daily food intake. You may count calories from each food that you usually eat. Decide which food you have to avoid to cut calories.
10. Plan your 1st day or your whole week. Plan your healthy meals (bfast, lunch, snacks, dinner).
11. Avoid bad carbs and junks. Limit or eat in moderation if you cant resist temptations. Exercise afterwards to burn the excess calories.
12. If you cant cut your rice consumption, opt for healthier grains (brown rice, red/black/purple/pink, oats, wheat, etc)
13. Set your cheat day/ binge eat day so you can still enjoy your fave foods once a week. But always remember to eat in moderation.
14. Take your weight every weekend before bingeing. Preferably early morning after pooping.
15. Avoid frequent eating out/dining out/pigging out. It will ruin your goals.
16. DO NOT weigh in everyday or after eating any meal to avoid disappointments.
17. Take your daily supplements to avoid deficits and diseases caused by dieting or change in physical activities (multivitamins, magnesium, potassium, calcium, etc)
18. Drink lots of water. It can suppress hunger or extend satiety.
19. Do not avoid fruits. Fruits are very important in maintaining a balanced and healthy diet though fruits were demonized by some weightloss gurus. Just select the low-calorie/ low-carb ones and eat in moderation.
20. Avoid taking weightloss supplements that promise immediate results (appetite suppressants, fat burner, laxative, bangkok pills, slimming tea, etc). These drugs are dangerous.
21. Lose weight slowly but safely and surely.
22. Read infos in the web to get more tips and to determine which food to eat that contains low calorie but filling, promotes fat burning, and provides nutrition that you need to survive each day.
23. Patience, discipline, self determination, willpower (mind over tummy) are the keys in achieving your weightloss goals. Expect to see results after 2-4weeks of hardwork.
24. Assign something or someone that will motivate you to continue fighting (sexy officemates or friends, summer beach and swimsuit, your crush who hates fat ladies, etc).
