So, you need to drop pounds! And likely enough, you have tried each yo-yo diet out there without getting to enjoy the ultimate goal.

NHS specialist in nutrition and overweight, Dr Brewster, says that the reason why these diets do not work, relies only on the weight loss method. In fact, a weight loss method should focus on health rather than weight loss to deliver long-term results. By modifying our existing eating habits and physical activity, we can maintain a healthy weight for life.

So, aim to have a healthy diet and have some physical activity. This way you will be able to maintain your health and procure a nice figure without much effort.

In this article, you will find out how to create your own weight loss plan that will not only help you drop pounds but will keep you thin and healthy forever.

Ideal Weight Goal And Time Frame

You can start by calculating your Body Mass Index. With this figure you will discover your healthy weight and how much you need to lose. Your pharmacist or family doctor can do this for you, but there are also plenty BMI calculators available on the net. Continue to specify the time that should take you to get to your ideal weight. You need to be realistic about this, so leave a fair time. Aim to lose from 1 to 2 pounds per week, as this is what doctors recommend as safe. Your time frame should be calculated taking this rate into consideration.

Now that you have your weight goal, you need to set a time frame to get there. Allow yourself enough time. Medically speaking, a safe rate of weight loss is between 1 and 2 pounds (0.5 kg and 1 kg) per week. And, you should calculate your weight loss time frame based on this rate and your ideal weight.

Exercise And Diet Plan

You wont be able to reach your desired weight without a good nutrition plan. So this is the next step in your strategy. For starters, identify those foods that make you gain weight and that you continuously eat. Continue making a list out of them writing down the time of the day you usually eat them. Then come up with a couple of healthier alternative choices.

Once every 2 weeks, check your list and pick 2 of these items and swap them for the healthy alternatives of your choice. Keep changing these unhealthy items gradually until you reach a healthy diet

To improve your level of physical activity, first you need to know how much time a week of physical activity you need to perform. If you are over nineteen years old, your prime goal will be to do a minimum of 150 minutes of physical activity every week.

Extremely sedentary people should not try to push themselves too hard. A good strategy to start exercising is to start with short activities that require some physical effort. For example, park your car in the last spot in the parking lot or go up and down the stairs for at least 10 minutes. Write down how much time a day you are exercising. And, propose yourself to exercise a minimum of 3 times a week.

When you feel ready, add more intensity and minutes to each activity. Keep going until you reach at least 3 sessions of 50 minutes a week.

At some point you will feel like the changes you have made are not making you shed fat anymore. As your body stabilizes at a new lower weight, those changes introduced in the past are preventing you from gaining new weight. This is normal, so do not worry when it happens!

If you want to keep losing weight, all you have to do is to introduce more healthy swaps to your diet and increment your physical activity level.
