A few years ago, my husband and I decided to lose weight. My husband had just been diagnosed with diabetes, and needed to lose about 70 pounds or so and being the loving wife that I am, decided that I should take off some weight as well. I also, had about the same amount of weight to lose. My husband’s doctor had given him a diet to follow. It was a very good diet that really didn’t seem like a diet at all since we never felt deprived and lost our cravings all together. This diet, along with the tips I am about to share with you, helped us shed a collective total of 161 pounds! We lost our weight in approximately 8 months.

Tip #1: Eat!

Make sure you eat 3 meals per day along with a healthy snack. The only thing is you must eat “naturally”. Good healthy vegetables, fruits, baked or grilled lean meats such as chicken (I buy frozen, already cooked, chicken breasts by the bag and I use them in salads, pasta dishes, sandwiches and other dishes I may dream up!) Limit your bread to 2 slices of multi-grain, whole wheat bread per day. Desserts are allowed but avoid sugary cakes and pies. Try a nice skim-milk chocolate mousse or gelatin with fruit. Angel Food cake is allowed but only 1 small piece. The working of the resurge product will be effective with simple steps. The schedule of the person should be perfect with balanced diet. The selection of the balanced diet should be done through the person for weight loss. The charges should be less in comparison to the other products. 

Tip #2: Do not eat past 7 p.m.:

This rule can be altered to fit your sleeping schedule but try not to eat at least 3-4 hour before bedtime. My husband goes to work late so he stays up late therefore we altered this rule for him. I used 7 p.m. for me as I usually go to bed around 10:30 p.m.

Tip #3: Drink lots of water:

Try drinking two glasses of water before each meal. Yes, even breakfast! This helps to move your meal along through your digestive tract as well as helps fill you up before you eat. Some foods expand in your stomach and water helps that happen also.

Tip #4: Exercise daily!

I started out walking every day after work. Some people like to go in the early morning hours, which is fine too! I go after work because I enjoy the evening as it gives me time to wind down from the day. I take my iPod with me and away I go! Now, since I have been doing this for several years, I add a little running in the mix. The key is to start slow and work your way up. Set goals for yourself, such as “I made it around the corner today, maybe I can make it around the entire block tomorrow!” Very soon you will be running 5 miles per day!

Tip #5: Weigh yourself each week:

I didn’t weigh myself everyday because I am the type that if I gain a pound or two, I would just give up so I just weighed myself each week, same scale, wore the same thing, same time each day which was first thing in the morning. You weigh less in the morning so that is why I chose that time of day.

Tip #6: Don’t get discouraged:

If you lose 7 or 8 pounds at first and then drop down to 2 pounds per week, that is normal. If you hit a plateau, just increase your exercise a little and don’t give up!

Tip #7: Keep a log:

Logging in your weight each week helps you to “see” how much weight you have lost. This was very motivating for me and helped to keep me on track. I still log my weight in today.

I hope my experience helps you to lose weight for what ever reason you have, whether it is for health reasons or just to fit into that bathing suit for the summer! Have fun and be safe!
