You know how it goes; lose five pounds almost instantaneously while eating everything you want. You don’t need to exercise and you’ll never gain the weight back! Just take a little miracle pill and all your weight loss problems will be solved! That’s the commercial or newspaper ad that sounds too good to be true. You’d like to believe it, but you don’t. Neither do I. This article is going to give you some free proven weight loss tips.

Think about this for a minute. It may not be 100% your fault you are overweight. It’s possible you may be carrying the extra weight because of genetics. But, and there is always a but; you may be contributing to your problem by not eating right and living a sedate lifestyle.

Now, even though you may have inherited some of the problem, you have to take responsibility for having added to the problem. Once you accept the responsibility, it will be much easier for you to make the decision that things have to change. Not only do you have to lose weight but you have to change your lifestyle. Failure is not an option because it can result in you cutting years off your life.

Your second weight loss tip is to talk with your personal doctor, to make sure you don't have a medical condition that is contributing to your weight problem. At the same time, your physician will tell you if you’re physically fit to begin a weight loss plan. In addition he will be able to advise you on setting realistic goals for shedding those pounds.

It is important for you to set your goals so they are obtainable. They must be set high enough to be a challenge, yet low enough so you don't get discouraged quickly. If your doctor tells you to lose 50 pounds, you need to break those 50 lbs. down into bite size chunks.

An example would be to set a long term goal of losing the 50 pounds over a six month time frame. You can break this down into a smaller goal of only 8 lbs. a month. Then you can take it down even further to two pounds a week. It appears now you have a workable goal.
For your third step you need to set out a plan for exercise. If you have been living a sedate lifestyle, you would be much better off if you start with walking. This will help you to get your muscles in your legs and arms working again.

Within two weeks you should be up to walking a half mile to a mile. As your wind and strength improve you may find yourself able to move into a brisk walk. Your walking will be the most effective when you can sustain a heart rate of 120 beats per minute for a minimum of 30 minutes.

At the same time, you should be revisiting your eating habits and start a sensible weight loss plan. Get some professional help if you need to and start changing bad eating habits for good.
This article has given you free proven weight loss tips. However, those tips are going to cost you. The price is taking responsibility and action to lose the weight.
