Regular exercise is important. Not necessarily everyday. But at least 3 to 4 times a week. When you workout, do it with full concentration or mental presence. Find the most enjoying workout and continue. Sometimes make changes and try something else. This way you’ll not get bored.
If by the word ‘exercise’ only an image of a gym is appearing in front of your eyes, then I assure you that gym is not the only exercise. There are many types of exercise that belong to our daily routines. Like walking, bicycling, playing basketball, martial arts, dancing etc. Choose the one that suits you the best and start rolling.
Resistance training is higher in position above all other exercises when it comes to weight loss. Resistance training boosts your metabolism and help losing energy that’s stuck in our body as fat. This exercise builds muscles which is the store of ready-to-use energy. Researches have shown that resistance training keeps the metabolism geared up even up to 2 days from the day of workout.

Correct and healthy diet for you is definitely customized just for you. Get away from someone who suggests a common type of diet for everybody. You are unique, your body is unique, your metabolism is unique. So definitely your diet shall also be unique. Right diet for you contains right amount and proportion of nutrients in your meals. A right diet for you never restricts you from eating or stopping carb or fat completely from your meal plan. Seek for expert advice to make your diet plan.
Also, eating 4 to 5 smaller meals is better than eating 3 big meals. During these meals, you must remember that snacks are also very important to take care of. Snacks must be healthy just like your other bigger meals.
Overeating in many cases is the case for overweight. And stress is one of the reasons for this. Get rid of stress if you are a victim of stress. Some best methods of stress relief are meditation, music, reading books and sex. Find something that you love and make it a part of your life to stay away from stress and anxiety.
Finally, find friends or partners who are also on the process of weight loss. Keeping attached to those who’ve already lost weight and continuing a healthy life. This will help you stay motivated and take you to where you are trying to reach.
