Women often complain that they are not able to stick to a diet plan or give time to exercise routine because of their house hold commitments.And that this is the main reason they are not able to lose weight. They should first understand what is their goal ? Losing weight ? or being healthy? If their goal is not losing weight but being healthy , then they should forget the deprivation diet and marathon workouts. Research shows that taking baby steps—not giant leaps—is the best way to get lasting results.
A study published in the recently in a Medical journal found that ,participants who made one small, potentially permanent change in their food choices and/or physical activity each week (such as drinking one fewer cup of coffee / Tea or walking 5 more minutes each day) lost more than twice as much belly fat, 2½ more inches off their waistlines, and about 4 times more weight during a 4-month program, compared with those who followed traditional calorie-restriction and physical-activity guidelines.
"When you focus on just a couple of small changes at a time, you begin to ingrain some healthy habits that last for a lifetime, rather than trying an all-or-nothing approach that more often than not fails because it's too hard to follow," Says Health experts.
If you are not looking for a ramp walk body right away, but want to be more healthy ,then add just one or two healthy changes a week to your regular routine and you can lose nearly 3 inches off your waistline and be about 10 pounds lighter in a few months. Even better: Once these healthy habits become second nature, they'll benefit you for a lifetime.Decide and take a step.
