The motto of Dr. Kal and this weight loss blog is that “weight loss is simple, but it’s not easy”. In its simplest form, weight loss is about burning more calories than you eat. When you do this consistently and over a period of time you will start losing pounds.
Unfortunately the difficult part is actually managing to spend more calories on one hand and reducing the amount of calories you consume in the other hand. In this post we will outline 5 weight loss tips that work. They are also easy to follow and implement. All you need to do is understand them and try to incorporate them in your daily life activities.
Simple Weight Loss Tip #1
One of the mistakes that many people do is follow a weight loss plan or diet that was made for someone else. This is wrong and in the majority of the cases will not produce any results. Each person has different metabolic rates, lifestyle, eating habits and needs. What works for a friend that managed to lose 10 pounds will not necessarily work for you.
Each diet or program must be customized to your own needs and requirements. The diet of someone who needs to lose 50 pounds is not the same as the diet for someone that needs to lose 5 pounds. Instead of spending your time and effort on experimenting you should consider analyzing your own needs with the help of a dietitian in order to create a diet that will get you results.
Simple Weight Loss Tip #2
The second weight loss tip is somehow related to the first one. You should avoid fast weight loss diets that promise super quick results. Weight loss is not a rapid process or something that can be done overnight or in a few weeks. It takes time to change your metabolism and start losing weight.
On the Internet and other media you will read about diets that do miracles but this is not going to happen. If this was the solution to obesity and weight loss then why are the majority of people are still overweight? Do not put your hopes and faith in such solutions. Concentrate on how you can improve your lifestyle to live healthier and weight loss will follow.
Do your research and do not believe everything that marketers are trying to sell. By following a chemical or a very strict diet you will start losing fluids and muscle mass and at the end you will end up with more weight because your body will not be in position to lose weight. Needless to say that this will also kill your confidence making it even more difficult for you to lose weight at a later stage.
Simple Weight Loss Tip #3
Do not rush for results. As we said at the beginning weight loss is simple. If you follow the right steps, the results will eventually come. This though does not mean that it will happen immediately. It may take a lot of time depending on how hard you try, how fast is your metabolism, sex and age.
You should not get disappointed Stick to your plan and you will see that at the end you will be the winner. Do not compare your results with other people. Each case is different, but at the end of the day if you do what you have to do, you will definitely make it. Try not to see weight loss as a competitive race but as a way to improve yourself and quality of life.
Simple Weight Loss Tip #4
Be practical and do not lose your logic. Weight loss is based on logical assumptions. One of those assumptions is that you need to follow a balanced diet which means eating moderate quantities of all type of foods. Excluding some food types from your diet is not an option and it is not logical. The logic states that if you eat fewer quantities from all food groups in an amount less than what is required to maintain your weight you will lose weight.
Simple Weight Loss Tip #5
Last but not least you should not forget that our health is the most valuable asset we have and you should not accept compromises. Do not put your health into danger by doing experiments or buying cheap fake products. Approach weight loss as a long term investment for your health and at the end you will realize that it is the best investment of your life.

I agree that one should avoid fast weight loss. It is bad for the body and will weaken your immune system unnecessarily.

Inspirational stuff. Totally agree with your post that we must consult with the dietitian before adopting the diet table. Also, we must avoid those sources which are promising for quick weight loss.
Thanks.
