Weight Loss Basics

Here are simple and affordable steps that are easy and available to everyone to lose weight NOW!

1. Wake up 45 minutes earlier than you normally do. You can always cut out a television program at night or tape it for the next day if you are addicted. You can get to bed 45 minutes to an hour earlier the same day with this simple adjustment.
2. If you pray, spend 15 minutes with prayer and meditation and positive messages first thing in the morning. Pour a 16-20 ounce glass of water. Sip the water while doing your meditations.
3. Put on your hiking boots or athletic shoes and head out the door for a brisk walk. If you live where there is inclement weather, you can adjust your schedule to be at the local mall when it opens and walk there.
4. Engage in at least a 30 minute brisk walk on a daily basis. Try to get your heart rate up so you are getting some cardiovascular benefits. A little sweat is good for you.
5. If you can afford an inversion table, hang upside down for 10 minutes and read some positive motivational material while inverted.
6. Do sit-ups, push-ups, and an exercise ball routine for another 30 minutes. Finish with some great yoga stretches for your hamstrings. I enjoy the pretzel, child's pose, cat's stretch, and down dog as my yoga exercises.
7. Eat a healthy breakfast. I like a warm bowl of oatmeal with blueberries and a half of a grapefruit along with a banana for breakfast on weekdays. On weekends, I make the healthy waffles (recipe under my healthy living section on my blog).
8. Drink one half your body weight in ounces of pure water each day. Avoid soda and caffeine.
9. Eat a healthy lunch with a variety of organic fruits and vegetables, nuts, whole grains and legumes. Steam your vegetables to get as many of the nutrients as possible. Avoid animal products because they have fat in them. Avoid snacks and junk food. Eat a light supper as early as possible to help your digestive system process your dinner 3 hours before bed.
10. Supplement with Mandura Trim so your body can balance the Leptin hormone properly. As we age, our body does not burn fat as easily. Having the right amount of Leptin in your body is the key to losing weight.

Call me if you have any questions. I lost 60 pounds in 2001 and have been right around my target weight for the past 9 years now.
