Even though 70% of people say they want to lose weight, less than half of them are doing something about it.
It’s Time To Take Action On Your Weight Loss Goals
If talking about losing weight, burned as many calories as actually performing a barbell back squat did, we’d all be living in a much leaner world.
However the reality is, people often get overwhelmed with all the necessary weight loss action steps, so they quit before they even start.
It doesn’t have to be like this.
When you’re starting your journey to Live Lean, a few easy and small behavioral changes can lead to longer-term habits and results.
6 Easy Healthy Weight Loss Habits For Beginners
To overcome the issue of being overwhelmed as a beginner, here are 6 easy healthy weight loss habits for beginners, to start losing weight today.
#1. Walk At Least 2,500 Steps Today
If you don’t currently workout or play any sports, you can begin your Live Lean lifestyle journey by walking off the weight.
I’ve talked about this before in this video post about Jessica Simpson’s weight loss success story.
As a beginner, one of the best ways to start losing weight is simply focusing on taking more steps throughout the day.
Here are a 4 actionable ways to start taking more steps in a day:
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
- Park a little bit further away in the parking lot.
- Schedule a walk after dinner, first thing in the morning, or during your work breaks and lunch.
- Walk to your co-workers office instead of sending the email.
I could go on, but the ultimate goal you should aim for is 10,000 steps a day.
However, if you are a beginner to losing weight, your goal is to start off by aiming for 2,500 steps a day.
Then you can progressively add another 1,000 steps every week.
#2. Drink A Glass Of Water Before Every Meal And Snack
A lot of times when you are feeling hungry, you’re actually partially dehydrated.
What I want you to do before every meal or snack, is have a drink of water.
This means no food hits your lips, until you first hydrate them first with a glass of water.
As a beginner to weight loss, ultimately you should start aiming for enough water to at least cover ½ of your bodyweight in pounds, in ounces of water.
For example, I’m 180 pounds so I should be aiming for at least 90 ounces of water a day.
Check out this video post on my 5 ways to drink more water.
Here are a 3 actionable tips to start drinking more water:
- Keep your water bottle filled up with you at your office desk, with you at home, and with you in the car.
- Extra bonus points for replacing one glass of soda per week, with water or zero calorie iced tea.
- If you’re used to drinking soda or other sugary drinks every day, replace one glass of it per week, with a natural zero calorie beverage.
Then continue to replace another glass of soda the following week, and so on.
It’s all about progression.
#3. Leave 5 Bites On Your Plate
It’s time to be real.
You are not going to be rude if you don’t finish all the food off your plate.
You can even put those 5 bites of food in a glass food storage container for a snack tomorrow.
The point is, it takes your body almost 20 minutes to know when it’s full.
Therefore, leave those 5 bites on the plate, then get up and go on with your day.
#4. Replace Your Typical Breakfast Cereal With Eggs 2 Days A Week
Most people start their day with cereal, toast, or bagels.
These foods are known to increase cravings throughout the day, as well as your belt size.
For just 2 days a week, I want you to start replacing your carbohydrate filled breakfast, with an egg omelette.
I shared the world’s simplest and quickest egg recipe video here.
Every week or month, replace another breakfast cereal day, with an egg breakfast until cereal is completely out of your life.
Feel free to throw in a couple slices of bacon.
I’m serious.
#5. Brush Your Teeth At 8pm To Stop Snacking At Night
We often make the worst food choices at night.
Limit your risk by getting into the habit of brushing your teeth at 8pm.
Nobody enjoys brushing their teeth twice in a night.
This simple action can be an easy way to reduce your temptation to snack on sugary and fattening night time snacks.
Let’s move on to the last easy healthy weight loss habit.
