Crazy Ways To Lose Weight

Anybody you know who has been completely successful at weight loss has probably told you that it’s a simple matter of moving a little bit more and eating a little bit less. It’s a healthy approach, it’s sustainable in the long run and quite honestly, it works.

But is there anything else that a dieter can do to increase their weight loss success?

Some recent research done by the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics set out to do just this. They did a study in which they took a look at many different weight loss tools, tips and strategies that were followed by 120 overweight women on a twelve month diet that was regulated by a group of registered nutritionists. The women lost 10% of their body fat for six months. But there was one catch involved – they had to keep the weight off for six months as well. Based upon the new data, the researchers found that there were three key strategies that worked for every single one of the test subjects. Let’s go ahead and take a look at what they did.


1.    Never skip meals. As I talk about often, skipping meals is terrible for your waistline and is not good for your health either. It can deprive your body of precious nutrients, increase your appetite to astronomical levels and can slow down your metabolism, making it harder to lose weight. The study concluded that those who didn’t skip meals weighed an average of 8 pounds less than those who did.
2.    Journaling. You should always be keeping a weight loss journal. Countless studies indicate that keeping a weight loss journal can help you lose more weight, since you are more focused on what you need to do each day to be successful and because of this, you are more likely to make positive changes that would benefit your weight loss success. In addition to this, you are more likely to hold yourself accountable to eating healthy, which can definitely benefit your weight loss results positively. This particular study also took a look at this factor. The study found that those who kept a food journal lost an average of about 6 pounds more than those who didn’t keep a food journal.

3.    Don’t go out for lunch. With the extremely large portion sizes and the unhealthy foods that many restaurants have on their menus, going out to lunch is not recommended if you want to lose weight. This particular study indicated that those who chose to make lunch at home instead of go out for lunch lost an average of about 5 pounds more. Those extra calories can really add up.

Hopefully this article has given you some new insight on what can be done to shed additional pounds. Although the basic principles of eating less and working out more can definitely benefit you if your goal is weight loss, it’s not the only thing you should be focused on if you want to lose the most amount of weight possible. By following these 3 weight loss tips that are backed by science, you can maximize your weight loss.
