Setting weight loss goals

Diet is a complex player and a crucial factor for those who want to lose weight. Therefore it is essential to setting weight loss goals to succeed.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends that we should:

• Eat varied
• Not eat too much
• Be physically active

You probably also know the phrase: 
That you should eat fewer calories than you burn.

It's all true, but it's not easy.
A large part of the American and Western population is overweight.
Weight loss, in theory, is a simple calculation, and the reason we weigh too much is a simple equation.

But in reality, you may be your own worst enemy.
Instead, you can be your own best helper. 

What is weight loss then all about?

Your weight is about habits, behavior, resources, motivation, and belief in your abilities.
The deciding factor in whether you reach your goal is you - and only you -
In this article, we will help you step by step to adapt your diet at your pace and learn how to setting weight loss goals. 

Setting weight loss goals is an essential part of any weight loss plan. 

You are more likely to stick with a diet and exercise plan when you have specific goals. 

Here are a few things to remember when setting weight loss goals: 

Set realistic goals. 
If your goal is to lose 10 pounds by the end of the year, don't try to lose 12 pounds in one week.
Make gradual and consistent progress toward your goal.

Set short-term and long-term goals. 
You can achieve short-term goals in a few weeks or months, while long-term goals may take several years or more.
Make sure your goals are actionable.  

What do you need to do to reach your goal? 

Write down everything you need to do, including what foods you will eat and how much exercise you will get each day. 
This will help you stay on track—schedule time for your goals. 
Setting aside time for your weight loss goals every day is essential, even if it's only five minutes. 
This way, you will feel supported and continue pursuing your goal. 

Setting weight loss goals smart

It takes time and honesty to set a good goal.
The SMART model is a great tool when you need to find your personal
objective.
You may remember the model from school. It may also be that you are offended by the one at work. 

Specifically, the model has five steps - one for each letter of the word:
S-M-A-R-T
As you work your way through each stage, you get a good goal:

S-specific: 
Your goal should be specific. It is important that you sharpen your focus.
What exactly is it that you want to achieve?

It is not enough to say that you want to lose yourself.
You need to be more specific. Either you need to decide on the number of pounds you want to lose. Or it may be that you want to lose weight so you again can squeeze into your old jeans. The more specific you are, the better.

M-measurable:
Your goal should be measurable. You need to know exactly when you are in the objective. It is not enough to say that you will be faster on your five-kilometer journey better.

You make your running goal measurable by, for example, saying that you want to run 5 km in 25 minutes. You may also have the desire to be able to take two deadlifts without elastic bands or to get under 70 kg.

A-attainable: 
Your goal should be attractive. You need to set a goal that you- we want to achieve. You have to ask yourself: Why is it so important for me reaching the goal? Knowing why it is important strengthens your motivation. 

R-realistic: 
Your goal must be realistic. There is no point in having a goal of being able to do 10 arm stretches in a row in the next 30 days if the starting point is zero.
It is also not realistic to lose 5 kg before the trip to Hawaii in the next week.
I recommend a weekly weight loss of 0.5 kg-it's healthy and realistic.

T-time-bound : 
Your goal should be timed. It is really nice to be able to run 5 km in 25 minutes, but the next question is, when could it be? Is it an upcoming Women's race? You need to clarify where and when you need to be on target.

Next, you need to consider whether you should make fewer milestones along the way. Do you want to lose 22 kg in a year?
I understand well if you lose your breath along the way.
Therefore, it is extremely important that you set milestones.

Example:

• I lose 2 kg per month
• I prioritize myself-time at least once a week
• I fit my red dress into my girlfriend's wedding in June
