How i can loose my weight ? can you please suggest me few ways for loosing my weight ?
Brief Answer:
Follow routine physical exercises and diet restrictions.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the follow up.
It's actually a very simple process to follow in theory.. but certainly difficult in practice.
A good well balanced low calorie diet is your first step. One that cuts out the unnecessary snacking and eating out (restaurant food is designed to be tasty, not healthy). Consult a Dietitians who can help you with that. Just ask them to make you a weight loss diet chart and they will help you.
The second thing is exercise. A combination of Cardio exercise and focused muscle building is important, but you should concentrate in Cardio. Join a good gym or seek the help of a physical therapist and you will have the help you need to make an exercise plan that you can stick to.
The key is to make a schedule that you can STICK to in the long run.
