Tips for Healthy Weightloss

Recently I read a news article that said the main reason for delays of the New York City subway is sick customers. Fainting dieters were on the top of the list according to one emergency medical technician. I think that is really sad because there is no need for it. Starving yourself is not actually the most effective way to lose weight. If a dieter feels faint or weak then they are doing something wrong.

Here are a few tips for healthy weightloss. You want to be sure that any weightloss program you follow has all of these ingredients for the best weightloss results and for the best health.

1. A weightloss program should not have you reduce your calories too much. For example, a woman of average height should not eat less than 1200 calories per day. What if you eat 1200 calories per day and you are having trouble losing weight? In that case, rather than lowering your calories, you should consider boosting your metabolism with a safe product designed for that purpose, increasing protein, or by increasing exercise.

2. On a weightloss program that is correctly balanced you should not be hungry all the time. If you are hungry while dieting you may need to increase your protein, improve the nutritional content of your food, drink more water, or increase your activity. You can increase your protein while keeping your calories reduced by the simple addition of a protein meal relacement shake.

3. You should not feel weak or faint while dieting. If you do feel weak or faint, then you may either have blood sugar problems, or be eating too few calories. (See number 1.) Blood sugar may be helped by nutritional supplements or by including a high protein snack every two or three hours. Be sure this snack is low in calories of course. If you have serious blood sugar problems, see a Doctor.

4. Your weightloss program should not have you cut back too drastically on fat. Cutting fat out of your diet can be dangerous. We all want to watch out for bad fats, but did you know that there are good fats and in fact our brain can't function properly without them? Too little good fat in your diet can cause anxiety, depression and many more symptoms. A good source of healthy fats are nuts, fish and of course the easiest way is to take a quality supplement.

The reason that just cutting down on your food doesn't work is because even if you do lose some weight, you are mostly losing muscle mass along with some fat. Then, as you go back to eating again, you will gain more fat, but you won't get all of your muscle mass back. So after a few times of dieting, your muscle mass is seriously low. Muscles BURN FAT! So you want to keep your muscles.

These are just a few tips to keep you healthy while meeting your new years resolution. If you are in doubt about whether you are following a healthy diet plan, go by how you feel. You should feel good, engergized and ready to face your day when you wake up. If you are dragging around by 2 then you might need some help.

The reason that just cutting down on your food alone doesn't always work is because even if you do lose some weight, you are mostly losing muscle mass along with some fat. Then, as you go back to eating again, you will gain more fat, but you won't get all of your muscle mass back. So after a few times of dieting, your muscle mass is seriously low. Muscles BURN FAT! So you want to keep your muscles. Take care of those muscles and they will take care of you.
