9 Quick Weight Loss Shortcuts to Keep You Losing Weight Non-stop

1、Success Comes with Dreams

　　—Find Your Ideal Body Shape and Place It Prominently

Whether you prefer a slim figure or a muscular and toned physique, you must have a vision of your perfect body in your mind. Now, the task is to find that image in magazines or online and place it somewhere you can see it at all times, such as your computer desktop, phone wallpaper, a photo in your wallet, or on your fridge. Whenever you see it, focus on it and imagine yourself having that body shape. People are visual creatures, and they are also easily forgetful. This method can help visualize your goal and maintain your passion for achieving the perfect body.

　　2、Simple is Often Most Effective

　　—Simplify Your Exercise and Make It a Habit

Yoga on Mondays, spinning on Tuesdays, personal training on Wednesdays, Zumba dance classes on Thursdays, belly dance on Fridays... You might find these varied forms of exercise boring and exhausting, but they can also overwhelm you. Exercise becomes a pile of different activities, which can be stressful. Instead, simplify your exercise routine. For example, do aerobic exercises like running or brisk walking plus sit-ups on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and do yoga stretching exercises on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Rest on Sundays. This way, exercise becomes just two types: aerobic days and stretching days. Your body and mind can quickly get used to this routine.

　　3、Small Goals Help Us Taste Success Sooner

　　—Replace Big Goals Like "Lose 5kg" with Step-by-Step Smaller Goals

I know your goal is to lose 5 kilograms or even more, but big goals can be overwhelming and lead to early abandonment. Achieving such big goals often takes months, a year, or even longer, and maintaining long-term enthusiasm for a single goal is difficult. The solution is simple: break down big goals into smaller ones. A healthy weight loss rate is 0.5 to 1 kilogram per week. Although these small goals may not seem as impressive, maintaining this pace can allow you to lose up to 10 to 15 kilograms in 3 months and gain the satisfaction of 12 successes.

　　Remember to always keep your goals in sight and not as obstacles. Focus on the small goal of losing 0.5 kilograms per week, don’t think about the 5 kilograms, and you’ll find that you’ve already achieved your initial big goal without realizing it.

　　4、Reward Yourself Generously

　　—Reward Yourself at Least 12 Times During the Weight Loss Process

Don’t overlook this small detail, as rewards mean acknowledging the goals you’ve already achieved. Generously rewarding yourself for your efforts can make executing the next goal feel better. Specifically, list the small goals mentioned above and write appropriate rewards next to each one—replace the cold goal list with a gift list for yourself. Of course, these rewards should be proportional to the size of the overall goal. For example, for every kilogram lost, treat yourself to a small gift, such as a manicure, a pair of shoes, or a massage. When you reach your overall goal, you can reward yourself with a trip abroad.

　　5、Exercise While Losing Weight

　　—Make Exercise Accessible and Create Positive Conditions for It

You might have a gym membership, but you rarely use it. The reason is likely that going to the gym itself requires a lot of effort: the distance is far, and when it’s windy or rainy, it’s easy to give up on exercising. Your task is to make exercise accessible. Choose a gym in your community, go directly after work, exercise for 30 minutes, and then go home. Or, choose a gym within a 10-minute walk from your office, exercise for 30 minutes, and then have lunch. This way, the cost of going to the gym is reduced, exercise becomes easily accessible, and you can complete it effortlessly—just like your ideal body shape becomes effortless.

　　6、Eat Mindfully to Lose Weight Beautifully

　　—Replace Hunger with "Slow Eating" and "Healthy Eating"

You’ve probably tried fasting before. Fasting can help you lose weight quickly, but afterward, you end up overeating, and your weight rebounds rapidly. You’ve probably seen those elegant women who eat slowly, chewing their food thoughtfully one bite at a time. They not only eat slowly but also choose their food carefully! Learn from them now. For the healthy and sustainable weight loss we追求, "slow eating" and "healthy eating." The stomach takes 20 minutes to digest and send the signal of fullness to the brain, so "slow eating" can control calorie intake while avoiding hunger.

　　Besides the way you eat, you also need to be selective about the food you eat. Replace processed foods and fried foods with fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and other nutritious foods. This way, you can meet your weight loss needs while also getting the nutrients your healthy body needs. Pay attention to your utensils as well. The simplest way is to use delicate Japanese-sized utensils instead of traditional Chinese-sized utensils. Once you get used to this, controlling your portion sizes will become easier, and the dining process will become more enjoyable.

　　7、Tracking Helps Us Be More Rational

　　—Detailedly Record Your Weight Loss Journey and Encourage Yourself with Your Achievements

Rational people are often more likely to achieve their goals. Whether a weight loss goal can be achieved depends not only on the initial goal-setting and execution but also on post-exercise reflection. Reflection can summarize experience and lessons, making it easier to adjust subsequent directions. Buy a notebook you like and review your daily diet, exercise, weight, body fat, and measurements every night. The process of writing it down is a form of self-supervision and reflection, and having a personal weight loss secretary will surely make things more effective. This is the method recommended by weight loss enthusiasts and experts worldwide. Stop being stubborn and give it a try!)

　　8、Give Yourself Special Time for Indulgence Each Week

　　—Focus on Weight Loss for the Rest of the Time

You might have failed to lose weight in the past because you suppressed your appetite for too long. After a binge, you felt disappointed and gave up. To avoid this failure, first recognize that weight loss is a long-term process, and forgive yourself for occasional lapses. Of course, the best way is to integrate healthy eating into your life—eating healthily and moderately, rather than blindly restricting yourself. If you really can’t completely give up fried, high-sugar foods, set aside one or two meals per week, such as Saturday lunch, to enjoy your favorite foods in moderation. But for the rest of the week, continue with your healthy weight loss diet.

　　9、Find Yourself a Helper

　　—Join a Weight Loss Group to Replace Going at It Alone

We’ve already shortened the distance between you and your overall goal by using the 8 shortcuts mentioned above to complete your weight loss task. However, maintaining enthusiasm by yourself is still difficult. Finding people with similar goals and encouraging each other can help remind and motivate each other, making the entire weight loss journey more fun and easier to stick with. Of course, if you can find a "mentor and friend" who can give you professional advice while accompanying you, that would be even better.
