(Shape.com–) Fitness comes first and then dieting comes second.
SNACK SMART
Bernie Salazar, who you might know as The Biggest Loser season five at-home winner and fan favorite, knows firsthand how to lose weight safely. He follows two rules to stay on track and maintain his weight loss. First, snack the smart way.
“You don’t have to give up snacking, just choose healthy foods that help you feel more satisfied,” he says. “For example, for 100 calories, enjoy six whole cups of Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop!” That’s like eating just 14 almonds.
Also; if you have a bit of a sweet tooth and crave sugar, eat fruit, Salazar adds.
STOP WORKING OUT, START PLAYING
Salazar’s second rule to losing and maintaining weight is to have fun with your workouts.
“A very small percentage of individuals absolutely love to ‘work out,’ but everyone enjoys playing and having fun,” Salazar says. “By identifying physical activities that you love to do, you will be more likely to enjoy the time you spend being active and be more consistent with integrating it into your daily life.”
SAY GOODBYE TO SODA
Nicole Palacios, personal trainer and fitness pro in Vancouver, Canada, cautions against soda. “If you are drinking sugary pop every day, you are taking in between 120 to 160 extra calories every day. Say you drink two cans per day; that is an extra 300 or so calories. If you take out those two drinks and replace them with water, you will lose 10pounds in about 16 weeks without really doing anything drastic,” she says.
SO LONG, SUGARY DESSERT
By the same token, you should also limit your intake of sugary sweets. Palacios suggests you wean yourself off.
“Each day, try to have less until you cut yourself off completely,” she says. “Sugar contains 4 calories per gram, and many processed food items contain more than 10 grams of sugar per serving; that’s at least 40 calories from sugar in one serving.”
And try to make a habit of checking labels. Some juices have more than 28 grams of sugar per cup. Yikes!
