The main thing is the right motivation
Before losing weight, you need to understand why you need it. Each of us personally knows at least a couple of cheerful fat men who have never thought about weight loss. Such people are successful in their profession, have no problems in their personal lives. They are joyful and positive, and most importantly, they look healthy. But if you are not one of them, and the thought "I really want to lose weight" often torments you, it's time to start acting. A good motivation can be the desire to improve their appearance. Just imagine: getting rid of extra pounds, you can wear any clothes and will delight others. If on the personal front you are haunted by failure, think about the fact that, having lost weight, you will become more popular with the opposite sex. Or maybe you want to do some kind of sport or dance, and only the extra weight bothers you? People who already have health problems, losing weight promises a noticeable improvement in health. Is it possible to come up with the best motivation? Once you understand why you want to lose weight, write this goal in a separate notebook. Remind yourself regularly for what you are fighting a war with extra pounds.
Where does overweight come from?
In the early days, try to observe yourself from the side. Where did this problem come from? Perhaps you start eating when you feel depressed or worried? Or is high-calorie food a reward for you doing something done during the day? Record all observations. Try to understand what, in addition to satisfying your hunger, food gives you, and replace it with a different reward. Suppose you have successfully completed an important project at work and are going to celebrate this with a hearty dinner in a restaurant. Limit yourself to lean meat and salad, and go to the cinema or theater for the money you save. Not a bad alternative, is it? If there are no such obvious problems with eating behavior, evaluate how well you distribute food throughout the day. Do you often eat up just before bedtime, how often do you skip breakfast? Perhaps you just eat exclusively fatty dishes and pastries, forgetting about fruits and vegetables? Find mistakes in your diet and write them down as well.
Making up a weight loss strategy
You can formulate your desire as: “I want to lose weight quickly and efficiently” and you have no time to make a plan and analyze? But a lasting result, irregularly throwing from one diet to another, is impossible to obtain. Weight loss should be approached wisely. It is time to decide exactly how you will lose weight. You can choose some kind of ready-made diet or dwell on the principles of
good nutrition. We all know these rules from childhood: less sugar and salt, meat products - low-fat, preservatives and semi-finished products of factory production - at a minimum. But if everything is so simple, why are there so many people who are overweight? There are some special tricks. The most high-calorie foods should be consumed in the morning.

In addition to the nutritional rules, other measures that you are ready to take to reduce weight should be recorded on the same list.

The best option is to perform simple exercises and organize training 2-3 times a week. You can work out at home or in the fitness center. In the second case, it is not necessary to choose
aerobic exercise or training on simulators. Dancing, swimming or Pilates will do. The main thing is that training will bring you pleasure and not get tired. Try to move more and out of class. Make a habit of walking up the stairs, get out of public transport for a couple of stops to the place of work, and continue on your walk. And on weekends, you can refuse to drive your personal car in favor of a bike ride.
Aids
Caring for the beauty and elasticity of the skin, do not forget about special cosmetics. After taking a shower, regularly apply a nourishing lotion or cream to the body.
