Have you ever gained weight during your period and you don’t know why? Luckily when your period is over, you can find that your weight returns back to normal. Keep this in mind that while you are dieting as not to discourage yourself!

All women might have some doubts, how their husband can lose weight in his sleep but you starve yourself all week and do not even lose a pound. Women have a lot more difficult time shedding extra poundage than men. And to make matters worse, women are more inclined to be critical of their body image than men. Women will rarely hear a man ask you if something he is wearing makes him "look fat".

Because of this quandary, many women resort to unsafe practices to lose weight quickly in an attempt. However this has adverse health effects.

Whether you are a full-time mom, student, business women, working on your career, or a little bit of them all, you all may be wondering, when do I have time for weight loss?

But actually a safe weight loss for women is really a simple matter of counting down calories and exercising. You cannot have one without the other, it’s very hard. But this is less difficult to do than you think. Once you get yourself into the mode of counting calories, you will know what you should and shouldn’t eat for the day. You don’t want to starve in order to lose weight – the only thing is just you have to eat sensibly.

If you are more active, obviously you will need to consume more calories. And also you want to see how many calories you must limit yourself to, if you are to lose weight. So, begin counting calories as if you are counting pennies on a budget. The more you practice this habit, the more natural it will become and also the more weight you will lose.

Exercising does not have to entail a very expensive gym. Run in place, do sit ups and deep knee bends. Try to perform a mixture of both toning and cardio vascular exercises. Cardio exercises are those that make your heart beat faster. These exercises will enable you to burn calories.

Safe weight loss is very crucial for women. The good news is, it is not that much difficult to lose weight once you get in the habit of incorporating exercise and calorie counting into your life.
