Did you know that weight loss can be achieved in simple, palatable steps?
You don't have to use those often complex and pricey weight loss programs advertised on television. For some of you, these won't even work. You don't hear this too often. But, it is true. They don't work for everyone. It is possible too that they may have worked for you at one point, and now they don't.
Perhaps there is a diet you read about and tried. You know of others who have used it successfully. But it is not working for you.
Or, it could be that you are just tired of an intricate diet plan and having to pay a lot of money for the prepackaged diet food.
In all three cases, you've come to the right place.
The name of this new weight loss system is Weight Loss In Steps. And, it works much more effectively than many other kinds of diets including those weight loss programs advertised on television.
One key advantage of Weight Loss In Steps is it gives you a lot of flexibility. You decide if you are going to take all 10 steps from the first day, or just a few at a time.
Every step counts a lot. So, each one you completely follow is going to make a significant difference in your results.
As if that wasn't enough, when all is said and done, your food costs will be downright cheap compared with what they'd be with the other programs.
Here are the steps.
Step 1 has you significantly reduce your salt intake. Lots of folks never realize that it's the high salt that in their diet that is causing them to hold onto a lot of their weight.
Step 2 has you halve your carbs. Note: A number of women that will have to reduce their carbs by more. But, 50% is a great first step. And you may find that it's enough. Some of you will want to move to a 75% reduction of carbs.
Step 3 has you eat very fresh and juicy raw celery and cucumbers for one or two meals a day. Both really seem to help your body help itself. And you tend feel the positive effects quickly.
Celery has many great health benefits. My favorite two are: First, the sodium and potassium in the celery helps to regulate body fluid and stimulate urine production. This helps to eliminate excessive body fluid. And, second, celery promotes healthy and normal kidney function by improving elimination of toxins from the body.
Step 4 has you eat two specific fruits daily: White Grapefruit and Granny Smith apples.They have less sugar and yet still satisfy that need for something sweet now and again.
Step 5 has you drink enough water. If you do everything else right and you are dehydrated, you will not lose weight efficiently. Many of us are dehydrated and don't even know it. Work up to drinking eight 8 oz. glasses of water a day.
Step 6 has you significantly cut back on your use of sugar, if you ingest a lot of it. Sugar spikes your insulin and glucose levels. This causes your body to more easily store fat. It also tends to lead to overeating.
Step 7 has you cut out problematic preserved foods. The biggest problem with these is the hidden salt. Deli meats, canned soups and vegetables, standard soup bouillon, and prepackaged microwaveable meals are the worst offenders.
Step 8 has you reduce/eliminate dairy consumption and avoid bad fats.
Dairy is mucous forming. If you insist on keeping some of it, keep the percentage of fat and sodium very low and digestibility, high. For example these cheeses are easier to digest: ricotta, cottage cheese, and mozzarella.
Having anything deep fried will sabotage this plan. Reduce your fat intake significantly. And the fat that you do have daily should be in the form of high quality cold pressed olive oil.
Step 9 has you give yourself satisfying yet smart snacks. The key here is to prepare these into little packages ahead of time. You need to be creative here and aim for low calories, carbs, fat, salt etc.
Step 10 has you walk! It is OK to start with as little as 5 minutes a day. There is still some benefit. Work up to at least a 30 min brisk walk 3 to 7 days a week.
Not bad at all, right? Just remember, take one step at a time. And you choose which one to add next (they don't have to be taken in order). Each and every step counts, a lot. Progress is progress. You will see!
