Losing weight, fed up off all those diets that tell you to eat this, and don't eat that? Has your enthusiasm for the gyms wavered and are you ready to pack the whole dieting thing in? Well Health Scales is a new alternative that is easy and simple to follow.
No complicated meals or liquidised vegetables, just the simple concept of measuring yourself on the A&D weighing scales twice a day! That's right...weigh yourself twice a day and you can see the pounds come off, but don't just take our word for it, it is clinically proven in a study with A&D 83% of all participants saw a weight loss occur.
So why and how does it work? Well the theory is explained at healthscales.co.uk but we thought we'd let you in on the seven amazing advantages of diet by weighing below:
1. First your waist begins to slim
You notice that your waist has become slim. In the case of male, he is prone to put on visceral fat in the abdomen. His waist begins to become slimmer first, followed by the visceral fat. When the waist size is reduced, you can actually feel the effect of the diet.
2. You don't give it up because it is fun
You might have tried so many diet methods by setting a monthly reduction target of X kg and so forth, and failed notwithstanding your hard efforts. With this diet, even if you are extremely busy, you only need to spare about 30 seconds to weigh yourself. You don't have to be self-conscious specially about acquiring the "weighing habit". You keep up the practice without really knowing it as you enjoy watching your weight reduced.
3. You don't need strong motivation
Usually, when you decide to go on a diet, you need to have some target such as you want to wear a certain dress or acquire a shapely physique. But with the present method, you set only a small target such as 50 to 100g reductions a day, which makes you feel easy. Daily accumulation of such a small but steady pleasure is found to be more powerful than a big effort of motivation.
4.You can control calories spontaneously
A "don't do this, don't do that" kind of diet with many restrictions or a diet requiring meticulous calorie calculation is very stressful. The present method is attractive as you can tell if you ate too many calories or not by only checking the fluctuation of your weight.
5.You think meals taste better
After doing away with eating between regular meals and late at night, you remember those happy days when hunger made your stomach churn. Hunger is the best sauce. Since your meal tastes better, you don't overeat conversely.
6.It is inexpensive
That you don't have to buy diet foods or go to a sports gym is another advantage of this method. Anyone can start it at any time.
7.You'll have increasing motivation to take exercise
The knack you have found as you got used to this diet is that it is the very time to exercise when you are hungry. That is, when you feel hungry, you think that your brain is giving you a command to "burn fat"! One may think that you feel hungrier if you take exercise when you are hungry. Conversely, you forget about your hunger once you start exercising. Readers should try it to be sure.
So what are you waiting for, if you are looking to shed those few pounds and have tried diet after diet, try visiting Express Chemist and seeing if there is anything there to help you in your journey.

Dieting Advice on Weight Loss
In order to change your weight, you must FIRST change your mind.
Wanting to lose weight shouldn’t be a matter of vanity; it should be more about wanting to be healthy and to be there for the people you love. Be kind to yourself. Being overweight is a difficulty to resolve, not a moral failing or a cause to detest yourself.
Prepare yourself mentally. It's hard to change your lifestyle.
You have to learn to have control over your appetite and your cravings remember that being healthy is much more valuable than stuffing your face all day long! Drink lots of water and get regular exercise. You can make the time for it because YOU are worth it!
Additionally, don't get frustrated. While weight loss is the same target for each person trying to lose it, how it is lost is unique to each person. So don't get discouraged by plateaus. At the same time don't focus 100% on the hard and fast number of your weight. I would suggest using a Running Average technique, or consider your weight to be in brackets of about 5 pounds. That way little changes won't bother you.
I'd also recommend that if you were just starting out with exercise, start SLOWLY. I'm talking "ten minutes at a slow pace on the treadmill" slow. In the early stages you should focus on forming an exercise habit, and I believe that will be easier if you don't work yourself to total fatigue in your initial exercise sessions. There’ll be plenty of time for you to run yourself into the ground later on.
As well as exercise being part of successful weight loss, changing your diet plays a major part in losing weight too.
For starters you can do as mother always said, “eat your vegetables”, lots of them.
1.) Drink less fizzy drinks. Drinking a 44 oz. Fizzy drink is equivalent (in terms of sugar) to eating an entire chocolate cake. Plus, carbonated beverages leach the calcium from your bones.
2.) Always eat breakfast. You need to start your metabolism if you ever want to lose weight. But:
Try a high-fibre cereal with fresh fruit and skim milk in the morning instead of bagels or muffins.
3.) Have a look at the hidden fat in food (e.g.: It does not make sense to eat a healthy fresh salad in combination with a regular dressing in order to lose weight).
4.) Never give up – even if your weight loss is stagnating. There will always be slow periods.
If you feel frustrated: jump into one of your “big size” jeans/dress and have a look at what you have lost already.
5.) Water! Drink as much water as you can – at least 80 oz. a day.
6.) Choose healthy snacks, such as fruit, a handful of nuts or a low-fat yoghurt between meals to keep yourself from getting too hungry.
7.) In a restaurant: Start with a soup or mixed green salad, both of which will contribute to fullness, and follow with an appetizer rather than a full-size entree.
8.) Incorporate exercise daily, even if it is just walking to work or taking the stairs.
9.) Munch on fresh vegetables with low-calorie condiments to make them taste great and to satisfy the need to crunch.
Keep in mind that it’s so important to love yourself exactly as you are right now, and don’t expect results overnight. Being in a hurry puts too much pressure on you to get it now. Enjoy the process. Consider every healthy bite and every crunch or mile you walk a success. Give yourself permission to feel good. It’s all about feeling good. Also, don’t discount the value of doing small things. They add up in the long run.
Eat right and exercise regularly. It's actually a very simple notion but not so easy to do.
