My Weightloss Advice

Description

So here are my humble tips on losing weight. I've lost about 8 pounds so far by simply changing my diet. I'm not a doctor and I'm not a nutritionist, so don't take my advice for gospel. It's just what's worked out for me so far and I'm happy with the results so far. I'm so sorry the video is so long, trust me out of the all times I tried filming this was the shortest take. Obviously I don't have a knack for explaining things outside of the beauty realm so thank you so much for bearing with me and watching as much as could stand ;) I'm not going to lie, starting a weight loss diet can be an uphill battle sometimes because you are surrounded by media that on the one hand wants you to go to McDonalds and then on the other hand is shaming you for being overweight. All I can say is that when you start seeing results it's definitely rewarding and reinforcing, which in turn will motivate you to keep going. Here are the nutritional facts I mentioned in case you want to copy it and keep it for your own cheat sheet:

All I can say is that when you start seeing results it's definitely rewarding and reinforcing, which in turn will motivate you to keep going. Here are the nutritional facts I mentioned in case you want to copy it and keep it for your own cheat sheet:

Salt intake:
1,500 no more than 2,000mg

Foods high in sodium tend to be higher in calories and fat, such as fast foods, processed foods and restaurant meals. Foods naturally lower in salt, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, tend to be more nutrient-dense and lower in calories. Reducing your sodium intake can help you to lose weight when you forgo high-salt, high-fat foods in favor of low-salt, nutrient-dense foods

Carbohydrate intake:
45 to 65 percent of your daily calorie intake should come from carbohydrates

To lose weight gradually or to maintain weight limit your carbohydrate intake to 100 to 150 g per day. This allows a wide variety of food choices and is best if you don't want to give up things like bread or high amounts of fruit or if you are an athlete. You can expect to lose 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of weight per week.

Eat a well-balanced diet, with your carbohydrate intake coming primarily from complex carbohydrates. Eat whole grain products, which contain nutrients and fiber

Sugar intake:
The recommended sugar intake for women is less than that of men. The AHA advises women to limit their intake of sugar to 6 tbsp. of sugar each day. This translates to a daily recommended limit of 30 g of sugar.

Recommended sugar intake refers to added sugar. This means that daily intake guidelines do not apply to certain foods such as fruits, which are natural sources of sugar. These sugars do not pose as much of a risk to your diet

Fat intake:
recommended intake of total fat for adults is between 44 and 78 g of total fat per day

SATURATED FAT
You should limit your saturated fat intake to 15 g per day. Saturated fat is considered a less-healthy form of fat because it contributes to the development of high cholesterol and coronary artery disease. Saturated fat is generally found in animal-based foods. It is okay to consume in smaller quantities, but you should monitor how much and how often you have it. Remember that the saturated fat you eat should be counted in your total fat content for the day.

TRANS FAT
Trans fat is a type of fat created when hydrogen is added to vegetable oil. Doing so helps certain foods stay fresh longer. Trans fat is most commonly found in baked goods and fried foods. Due to the chemicals it contains, trans fat should be eaten in smaller concentrations as well. MayoClinic.com recommends limiting your intake of trans fat to 2 g per day.

Cholesterol
According to the Mayo Clinic, the recommended daily allowance in the United States for cholesterol is only 300 mg. In addition, the Mayo Clinic states that fruits and vegetables should be emphasized in the diet while limiting animal products. No more than 170 g of meat should be eaten a day.

*Info from Livestrong, which is a fabulous site for questions about weightloss!

The app I was talking about is called Loseit, I really enjoy using it, but of course there are other ones out there that are good too like My Fitness Pal.
