Collection of Tricks and Easy Ways to Lose Weight

For most women, the losing weight proces follows the same steps, at least at the beginning.

During a diet, the first two days hardly something happens on the scale. On the third day, the fat will lose ‘density’ and becomes softer. Now, depending on how much fat you have on and how ‘dense’ the fat is when you grab it (see difference between fat on belly and fat on legs and butt to understand what I mean), you will spend a few days on this ‘dernsity’.

Next step is when you barely start losing something. You don’t see it but you might feel it a little when you put on your pants. Your breasts will stop spilling out of your push-up bra and your tummy (especially that annoying little bit right under your navel) will seem only to decrease in size. Actually you don’t understand how much you are losing now because the body tends to lose equally from the upper part so the proportion remains pretty much the same. However, this annoying little fatty part under your navel might look more proeminent because the rest of the fat is melting. Best way to evaluate this is to look in the mirror from the side.

Your waist gains contour.

Your legs and your butt have lost very little by now. They are the last ones to ‘shrink’. The best way, and sometimes the only way, to keep them shrinking is through exercise. And you usually lose on your thighs and you start losing from your knees up. You can see the knees becoming bonier.

When there isn’t much to lose your body will be able to focus better on your ‘problem’ areas.

Yeah, I’m on the roll, baby… By the end of the next week I have to lose another two or three. It takes longer at the beginning – about 2-3 days – until your body starts losing weight. No matter what diet you are on, it always happens like this.

What did I do to lose weight? Very little exercise (one hour daily walk though) but I gave up meat and chicken. I have started this about two weeks ago. I am not starving myself in any way. I am having enough food and I am still drinking plenty of water.

I never eat white bread – once a month maybe, when I cannot find rye bread in a place and I need bread, that is the only moment when I have white bread. I haven’t had chocolate really, but I did have lots of cereal bars with chocolate from Nestle Fitness. One bar has about 95 calories and it’s delicious.

I had lots of fruits – cherries and mango and apples. I have not calculated calories. I ate at 9pm but nothing heavy. I even had one hot chocolate a day.

But not eating meat or chicken helped my digestion.

So your diet has been giving great results. You’ve worked your ass out every single day. You have 1,000 calories a day. But all of a sudden your body refuses to lose weight anymore.

This is the tricky moment. Your body has built a defence wall around this weight and, no matter what, it will not let you lose those pounds. I kow it because a few years ago my weight was at 108-110 pounds and there was no way whatsoever in which I could get rid of that weight. I was slim but not skinny (between you and me my muscles would never allow me to be skinny, but that’s something else).

For me 108 pounds is thr lowest and no matter how slim I get and even though I look slimmer than the previous week when I was still 108, I am still at 108! Obviously.

I had another blockage at 114 or something that I had managed to pass afew times. How do you deblock your system? Gracefully. Carefully. Reducing calories is not the solution. And if you are working out like I was, half the day or even more, then you cannot increase exercise either.

So then how to convince your body to let you get over that ‘defence wall’? It’s simple. You change the routine. You don’t have a routine? You make one first then. Your body is already used to low calories and work-out.

Eat an extra something a day and work out every third day – intensive everyday work-out does NOT work. I swear it doesn’t in the long run. I have myself and a few friends as witnesses.

About the eating habits, every third day – preferably the day you work out, skip a meal or replace it with something with less calories. The perfect way to shock your body is to change the routine – and that means that you should have one.

Ok, I have read this one also: coconut oil can help patients with thyroid problems solve them. I cannot say yes or not, obviously, and I cannot vouch for that.

But too much of anything can be bad in the end. Honestly, I might try this but not with coconut oil. I will simply buy a coconut and eat it like this. I mean the coconut oil comes from a coconut, right? And before you stuff yourself with coconut like a maniac, you should also know that coconuts are very rich in calories.

One cup of shredded coconut has about 280-300 calories.
