When you read weight loss tips from the famous exercise physiologist you know you’re getting tips on the best way to lose weight and stay healthy. Marco has worked with celebs like Jay-Z, Beyonce, Gwen Stefani, and Gloria Estefan, so I suspect he knows what he’s taking about.
Marco tells us that we all have the power within us to control our health and fitness, and manage what we eat and drink every day. The problem he says is that most of us either don’t really know how to put those weight loss tips into action, or simply can’t be bothered. He explains that because exercising and eating healthy don’t bring any immediate benefits, a lot of people tend to confuse that fact with there being no real benefits at all.
He’s also got a new book out which includes his best fitness, exercise and weight loss tips – check out his interview here
If you’re looking for all the easy ways to lose weight are you missing one of the most important weight loss tips there is? Losing weight can be easy o it can be hard – it all depends on whether you have the right state of mind about your weight loss goals and you’re real reasons to want to lose weight fast.
There are lots of easy ways to lose weight – probably almost as many as there are to gain it, but without a real and concrete reason for wanting to lose weight, and an achievable goal of where you want to be in 1 week, 1 month and 1 year from now, you’re going to have a hard time of losing weight and keeping it off for good.
Just recently I read about a man who, 2 years ago tipped the scales at just over 400 pounds! Today, he is literally half the man he used to be, and he attributes his amazing weight loss, not to following the latest weight loss diet, but to finally finding his reason to lose weight.
He was best man at his brothers wedding, but during the wedding ceremony, he realized that the congregation was all looking at him rather then the bride and groom. He’d stolen the show, but for all the wrong reasons and on the wrong occasion. This was his “aha moment”.
This is by far the real secret to losing weight and getting your health back – even the best weight loss tips aren’t going to help you is your heart isn’t in it. The best advice any weight loss coach can give you is to stop looking for the fashionable and easy ways to lose weight, and find you’re real reason to get slim again. Once you have this nothing can stop you.
New year is a popular time for starting a weight loss diet as losing weight is usually new the top of people’s new years resolutions. The problem is knowing who to listen to when it comes to deciding on which weight loss diet you’re going to follow – if any.
A couple of ads I’ve seen running on the TV this week include a “Drive Thru Diet” from Taco Bell, and the “Special K” diet.
If we look at the Taco Bell weight loss diet, they’re claiming that by replacing your normal fast food with Taco Bell’s Fresco menu – which have between 20 and 100 fewer calories than the regular version. A regular Crunchy Taco has 170 calories and 10 grams of fat! The Fresco version has 150 calories and 7 grams of fat. So the Fresco Taco isn’t actually particularly a healthy weight loss diet plan, but by the nature that it has fewer calories it could help you lose weight simply because you are reducing calories.
It’s the same story with the Special K weight loss diet – they’re suggesting you replace two of your daily meals with something from the Special K range like a cereal or protein bar or a protein shake. So again, they’re basically finding a way to reduce calories, and cleverly disguising it as a weight loss diet product.

The new year is a great time to dig out some new weight loss tips that will not only help you lose weight fast, but also help you keep losing weight week after week, and help you keep it off permanently.
If you want to know how to lose weight naturally, these weight loss tips are just what you need:
1. Think carefully before you eat. This is definitely the best way to lose weight without too much pressure or will power required. How often do you eat when you’re not really hungry just because tasty food is available? That food is always going to be available, so don’t think that you have to eat now just because it’s there. If you’re not hungry, leave it till next time.
2. Don’t eat so fast. Eating slowly is one of the easiest weight loss tips to implement right now. If your food tastes so good, then why rush it? Eat slowly, chew plenty and really savor the taste. Doing so will mean it takes less food to make you feel like you’re full simply because it takes time for the “full” message from your stomach to reach and register with your brain – give it time.
3. Divide your plate. By dividing your plate, you don’t need to worry about whether you’re eating enough healthy food. The top half of your plate should be full of vegetables. The bottom half should be divided into 2 (quarters) – one quarter gets a serving of protein (fish, white meat, lean red meat etc) and the other gets a serving of carbs (brown rice, new potatoes etc).
Use these weight loss tips every day and you’ll soon notice how quickly the weight starts to fall off you.
Here’s some healthy and fast weight loss tips to help get you motivated on losing weight for the new year.
We all know that obesity is a serious health concern, and can also bring about other health issues like asthma, heart disease, sleep problems and many more, but there is a right and wrong way to lose weight.
We’ve all heard that the best weight loss tips include eating right and getting plenty of exercise, but that in itself is not enough information to get us started on a health weight loss diet, especially if you’re an overweight teen.
What you need is specific guidance, like cutting out unhealthy food like fast and processed food and concentrating on fruits and vegetables, wholegrains, lean meat (like chicken and turkey) and fish.
Ideally you should cut out dairy products – no cows milk, or butter, margarine and cheese. Instead look for healthy alternatives like soy milk and soy based spreads.
Most people don’t need professional help to get started using these quick weight loss tips, but some people should consult a health worker of some sort before starting a weight loss diet and exercise program. This generally applies to people with a history of heart and cardiac problems, blood pressure problems and diabetes.

You probably know this already but the best way to lose weight fast, and to keep it off for good is to start making small and simple changes to your lifestyle – like doing a few simple exercises each day and making healthy food choices. Believe me, it’s very easy when you do it a bit at a time.
Don’t try to make too many changes all at once as this will soon become overpowering and you’ll need a lot of will power to make it stick. By making small changes slowly it’s a heck of a lot easier to incorporate those changes into your lifestyle and make them become part of it permanently.
A healthy and sustainable weight loss diet should include:
- Healthy portion sizes – use smaller plates if necessary but reduce those portion sizes.
- Pick foods high in natural fiber.
- Choose foods you actually enjoy – don’t eat foods you dislike as this makes your diet hard work and un-sustainable.
- Make sure you get all the nutrition your body needs for maximum health.
- An active lifestyle with regular forms of exercise (walking is a great exercise)
- Consistency – eat healthy food and take exercise every day.
Did you know that to lose 1lb of body weight, you need to eat 3500 calories less than your body needs, so losing a couple of pounds each and every week is not hard if you figure out how to burn off 7000 calories every week. The best way to lose weight this way is to reduce your calorie intake and burn the rest off with exercise.
- Walking burns about 300 calories per hour.
- Cycling burns about 350 calories per hour.
- Swimming burns about 400 calories per hour.
- Playing tennis / squash / racket ball burns about 400 calories per hour.
- Running can burn about 400 calories an hour.
A weight loss diet should contain about 1200 calories a day for women and 1800 a day for men. Don’t go lower than this as you then risk not getting all the nutrition your body needs, and worse still you’ll start to slow your metabolism which means it will become a lot harder for your body to burn fat as it goes into “starvation mode”.
