Tips for getting started for weight loss beginners.

I highly recommend getting a pedometer better yet, the Fitbit. This has changed my life. It really put into perspective how little activity I was actually doing and it’s a lot cheaper than a tread mill. I actually walk on spot to get my daily step goal or walk around my house, I even run on spot. The Fitbit tracks your heart health, active minutes. Sleep cycle, calories, active minutes, calories burned, stairs climbed and you can do challenges with friends you make. It also does much more.

Start tracking your calories, either use the Fitbit or I like to use an app called my fitness pal. It syncs right to your Fitbit as well. This is a free app and very similar to ww but it’s free and easier to use. You can scan the barcode of almost all foods and it pops up so you can see what you’re eating and how many calories you actually eat. In the beginning I suggest just tracking what you normally eat so you can see what you’re actually consuming in the day and get used to tracking calories. Then you can slowly start cutting out things.

Water is your new best friend. I drink water as much as I can. You will lose lots of weight in the beginning if you do this. Your body stores water weight especially when you’re not eating proper and when your overweight. Water helps flush out all the junk you’ve been eating and you will lose the water weight. I lost 6lbs in the first week because of water weight. That’s why when you quit your diet you gain the weight back so fast.

Once you do these things it will be much easier to cut out the pop drinks or junk food. You will then be motivated and have incentive to cut it out. If you try cold turkey you will likely not succeed.

Hope this helps :)
