How to Lose Weight So Guys Notice

When you do this, guys are sure to notice.

  Identify your reasons for overeating. Face it: You're overweight for a reason. Usually, this has to do with eating too much and not exercising enough, but there's often an underlying reason for overeating. You may overeat when you are bored, stressed or lonely. You may subconsciously be holding onto your weight because you had a bad relationship in the past and are afraid that if you are more attractive, you'll enter into another relationship and get hurt again. These reasons for overeating are quite normal, but they are not at the forefront of your mind.

  Fulfill your needs without food. If you're eating because you're bored, find something to do. If you're eating because you're lonely, call up some friends. Sitting home by yourself is perhaps one of the worst things that you can do. By staying active, you will eat less without even feeling that you are on a diet.

  Start an exercise routine to gain strength and confidence. Exercise has a number of benefits. While weight loss may be your ultimate goal, you'll also find that you feel stronger and happier. Choose an activity that you enjoy doing so that it becomes easier to stick with your routine. Incorporate both strength training and cardio exercise to gain muscle while you lose fat. A good core workout, such as you'd get in a Pilates routine, can help you stand taller. All of these things will improve your confidence, which will attract more men.

  Eat healthy foods to support your body. Your body craves the nutrients you find in healthy foods. You don't have to forgo your favorite foods altogether---just limit how much of them you eat. Instead of having dessert every night, have it just once or twice a week. Aim to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, as these foods have more nutrients and fiber, which can keep you full for longer periods of time. As you eat healthier foods, weight will start to come off naturally, even if you're not counting calories. You'll also have increased energy and stamina, which men find attractive.
