7 Simple Weight Loss Tips for Women
You might think that you need an extreme nutrition and workout program to slim down for a dance audition — or maintain fitness for your current team. A little planning can go a long way as well as a few tricks that are based on healthy nutrition principles. Here are the top weight loss tips for women you should know!
Incorporate resistance training into your routine.
Resistance training includes free weights, weight machines, medicine balls, and even your own body weight. What makes resistance training great for weight loss is that it burns calories after your workout session. Since it preserves and builds muscle mass, it can increase your resting metabolism (or the number of calories you burn at rest).
Remove any temptation from your kitchen.
Sometimes, motivation isn’t enough to be able to say NO to unhealthy treats. If there’s food that’s hard to resist in your kitchen, throw them out — cookies, chips, regular soda — you get the idea. Even better, replace them with whole and nutrient-dense items like berries, cucumbers, whole grains, and eggs. That said, keep healthy foods in sight!
Consider intermittent fasting.
Intermittent fasting is simply taking a break from eating within a certain window. Hunters and gatherers during prehistoric times were able to go without food for hours or days, and they survived. Intermittent fasting works by reducing the number of calories you consume, giving your digestive system a break, and lowering inflammation. In addition to fat loss, it can boost your thinking.
Eat more protein.
Meat, poultry, egg whites, dairy, and nuts should all be part of your diet. They supply your body with vitamins and minerals, as well as protein — a macronutrient that is known to boost your metabolism (since it has a higher thermic effect than carbs and fats) and preserve your lean muscle. Since you’re physically active, you should aim to consume about 1 gram of protein per pound of current or target body weight.
Use stevia as a substitute for sugar.
Quitting sugar is one of the best fitness goals you can make. Fortunately, you won’t have to stop eating sweets in general because there are healthier sugar substitutes. Stevia is an option. Stevia is an herb that usually comes in powder or liquid form. It doesn’t have any calories and is sweeter than sugar. You can add it to your morning coffee for some sweetness and use it in your health smoothies.
Cook a week’s worth of meals.
A great way to stay on track with eating whole foods is meal prepping. Cooking in advance (for example, on a Sunday) makes it easier for you to resist ordering takeout food, which is likely made with highly processed oils and monosodium glutamate (MSG).
Find an activity you enjoy.
Last but not least, do something you like that keeps you active throughout the week! It could be swimming, walking, biking, or taking your dog for a walk. The key is to move more without stressing yourself!
