First Weight Loss Tips

First Weight Loss Tips
For starters, I am not perfect at this. Writing this blog should help me follow the weight loss tips I have and that I find regularly.

About a year and a half ago, I lost 40 lbs over 6 months - which is great. As of today, I have kept that 40 off - very nice.

I did this by following a few simple weight loss tips & rules. Here they are:
  1. Don't eat after 8 pm (not my strong suit - need to work on this one.)
  2. Don't eat before 7 am (I go to work before 6, so this took some effort, but I got used to it.)
  3. No seconds.And don't pile on the firsts too high.
  4. No snacks or very small ones.
  5. Eat protein at least twice a day.
This worked for me - along with one more, from a 40 year old book called Carlton Frederick's Low Carb Diet: cut carbs to 60 per day. Ug.

If you've been on a low carb diet, you may know this isn't so easy. I have adjusted, but it isn't easy, and this weight loss tip doesn't always last.

I am a bit stuck with about 40 pounds to go. I'll post more later on some new things I have learned. Maybe following these new weight loss tips I'll get unstuck!
