Seven Weightloss Tips For Beginners

By Harley Grosser

1. Set Goals

You need to have a reason to keep pushing when temptation arises or you simply don’t feel like doing it anymore. The goal/s need to be both physical and emotional. For example your physical goal may be to lose 20kg (44lbs)  but this isn’t strong enough to motivate you when you don’t feel like continuing. An emotional goal such as ‘to be able to play with the kids’ or ‘to enjoy life to its fullest’ will ensure you keep focused to achieve your ultimate weightloss goals.

2. Start Exercising

If you are a complete beginner, start with something light like 30 minute walks, 4 times/week and build from there. Don’t rush into exercising to quickly. Build up gradually to allow your body to recover and grow stronger.

3. Include Resistance Training

Resistance training is becoming increasingly popular among the general population and for good reason. It increases muscle mass which means your body burns more calories while at rest. It also improves insulin sensitivity which means less insulin is released by the body, resulting in less fat storage. Another benefit is its nutrient partitioning effects – put simply it means the foods you eat get put to use as energy for muscles rather than being stored as fat.

Benefits not limited to weightloss include reducing elevated blood pressure, preventing osteoporosis, strengthening the immune system and improving posture.

4. Take Control Of Your Diet

Nutrition can be very complex and the ‘ideal’ diet for each individual varies greatly due to differences in size, preferences, goals, age, activity levels and a host of other factors. Having said that there are a few key factors that are universal for all people who want to lose weight. The first is that you must burn more calories than you consume either through diet and/or exercise. Next you need to make sure that what you do eat covers all your nutritional requirements. This can normally be achieved by eating a variety of foods but in some cases supplements may be necessary. Finally, your diet needs to be enjoyable! Associating the words ‘diet’ and ‘enjoyable’ may seem odd but an enjoyable diet translates to a sustainable diet. And sustainability will mean you not only lose weight but keep it off.

5. Include Variety

This goes for your exercise and nutrition. Variety will prevent boredom and means you will continue on your quest to lose weight.

Adding variety to your exercise program is easy. You can change the exercises, rep ranges or even the type of exercising. Instead of running you could swim. You could replace cycling with a boxing class. Or start a sporting team with friends.

Including variety in your nutrition is a little more difficult. When replacing one food with another you need to make sure it still fits into your calorie and macronutrient goals. You also need to control the portion size. However, doing so will make sure your ‘diet’ doesn’t feel like a diet at all.

6. Continue to Learn

If you are reading this article then you are already putting this important step into action. It is can be very handy to continue learning about different ways to exercise and eat in order to lose weight. You don’t have to hit the books but simply talking to others in the gym who have achieved what you want to achieve may help.

(Note: I emphasise may help. There is a great deal of myths and mumbo jumbo out there so be careful when taking advice from someone who got their information from ‘a friend of a friend.’)

7. Consistency Is Key

Put the first 6 steps into action and then be consistent. The only way to continue to lose weight is to consistently do what needs to be done. For some of you there may be a fairly large amount of weight that you need to lose before you reach your goal. To do so you will need to be consistent. Don’t fall into the trap of TV and magazine commercials offering instant success with the latest ‘AB-pro’ or ‘jiggle machine.’ These types of advertisements are simply trying to take advantage of your deep desire to lose weight. Instead, find out what needs to be done and do it consistently. If you do I guarantee you will lose the weight.

When building your downline for your MLM business, there are a few things you must be able to do. What I’m going to share with you are tips that will show you how to build your MLM downline the easy way.MLM Downline Building Tips #1:

The first downline building tip is to know your target market (people who have a need or want for what you have to offer). I know that you’ve been taught to work your warm market, or people you know. That’s not an effective way to grow your downline. In fact, many times you’ll end up chasing away your friends and even damage the relationship with your family.

Knowing your target market has a huge impact on your success with your MLM company. You can have the best products or service, the best comp plan, and the best leadership, but if you don’t know your target market, all that won’t matter.

I’ll give you an example. If you market weightloss products, your target market could be people who has a home gym, purchase weightloss magazines, has a gym membership, or has workout videos. Those are the people that will buy your weightloss products and join you in your MLM business.

Another example would be if you market travel. You target market could be people who routinely travel every year, or families that take summer vacations every year. These people will benefit greatly from your travel service and will be willing to grow a MLM travel business with you.MLM Downline Building Tips #2:

The second downline building tip is to really know your products or service and how they benefit people. I’m not talking about reading the benefits from the labels or from a website. What I mean is this, if you market weightloss products and it takes your product about 23 days before someone is able to lose about 11 pounds, that’s a huge benefit.

By knowing how long it takes to see results like that, you can tell people. They’ll buy your products knowing that between that time, they’ll lose weight. Also, you can give them some healthy eating tips, exercise tips, or maybe some recipes.

This downline building tip is simple. And will help in adding over a dozen people into your business.

A good way to understand the benefits of your products or service is to look at what it has done for you, your upline, your downline, or someone you know. MLM Downline Building Tips #3:

Using a conference line will also help build your downline. You can get a free conference line at FreeAudioConferencing.com. You can use the conference line for two purposes. One is for business training. You can communicate with your entire downline all at once on this call. You can get everyone on the call and share some helpful marketing tips that’ll help them with the growth of their downline.

You can also use this time to help motivate your downline, mastermind with one another, and get some leaders on the call that’ll talk about how they’re having success in growing their business and what techniques they’re using to build their business.

Another purpose is to share tips and information. This will help with your retention rate. You can share tips on what to do when using your products or service. This will have people buying from you over and over again. That’s what building a residual income is all about.

Use these MLM downline building tips to grow your business the easy way. These tips will not only help you grow your business, but help you attract the right people to you.This article can be freely published on a website as long as it is not modified in any way including the author bylines and active hyperlinks.
