So you want to lose weight

After i published 7 hubs with my plan to lose weight (you can see the first one on http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-loose-weight-day-1), i´m here now to talk about some tips that you can use with the plan to make it more effective.

If you follow the plan i explained in that 7 hubs and at the same time you follow this tips you´ll be much more healthy and with the weight you want to have.

Here are the tips:

1 - Eat slowly. While you´re eating, chew slowly, feel the taste of the food.

2 - Don´t eat between 2 meals. You can have a snack at the middle of the afternoon, but don´t eat between lunch and that snack, per example.

3 - Establish the hours for each meal and never lose a meal.

4 - Make 5 or 6 meals per day: breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, night snack. You can choose only one meal between the morning snack and the night snack, it depends on you.

5 - Always eat your breakfast before get out in the morning.

6 - Don´t be more than 4 hours without eating.

7 - Don´t eat while you´re reading or watching tv.

12 - Try to weigh yourself once per week and make a graph of the evolution of your weight.

13 - Make a food plan for you and follow it strictly right. If you think it´s better for you to ask the opinion of a professional of losing weight, do it.

14 - When you go to the supermarket, go after a meal. If you do those shopping hungry you´ll buy averything that you want to eat on that moment.
