Zodiac and weight loss
progressman/ShutterstockIf you're wondering how to lose weight, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the insane amount of information out there. With a new diet plan trending seemingly every other week, it can be hard to identify not only the strategies that work, but the strategies that will work for you. The best way to begin your path to weight loss and to a healthier lifestyle is to contemplate your personality. That's where your zodiac sign comes in. It can help you figure out what will get you up and moving and help you stay motivated. We got astrologer and life coach Linda Furiate, who has written for Astrology Hub, The Baltimore Sun and more, to offer insights to help guide you toward a healthier way of living.
Aries (March 21-April 19)

The hardest part about weight loss for an Aries is that they love to start projects, but have a hard time following through. Competition is a way to motivate Aries when they would otherwise begin to slack off. "They are motivated to try new things and to be the first to use something," Furiate says. "They love getting the latest product on the market to help in their workout or nutritional routine. Their kitchens are filled with blenders, food processors, or other gadgets. Unfortunately, they use these things once or twice and then get bored or lazy. The best thing for Aries is to find a friend or partner they want to aid in their weight loss and workout routine." These are the secrets of women who work out every day.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Shutterstock(2)Taurus can be very hedonistic, which makes exercising regularly and following diet plans difficult. "They can tend to be slow, methodical, and stuck in their ways," Furiate says. "They also love sweets and rich foods." Basically, anything scrumptious or luxurious will attract a Taurus, so if working out or dieting is somehow made to seem glamorous, a Taurus will have a much easier time of it. Furiate says, "If they feel good around what they are wearing and find value in spending the money for exclusive membership, this may motivate them to get up and go to the gym." So a gym with extra amenities, like a pool, a sauna, or access to masseurs would be perfect for a Taurus. They would benefit from a spa experience.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Shutterstock(2)Geminis love to go, go, go. Luckily for them, that means that staying committed to a workout routine shouldn't be too difficult. According to Furiate, the best activity for a Gemini to engage in is running. "Running or fast walking is great for Geminis. They love being on the move. They will benefit also from being able to talk to or communicate with another person while working out. They need to find a buddy to walk or run with." Geminis are also great multitaskers, so if they can't find a partner who is willing to run a few miles with them, they can always fill the silence by listening to music or a podcast. (This is the energizing workout music that makes exercising more fun.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Shutterstock(2)Cancer is a natural homemaker, so for them, a kitchen makeover is the best place to start. "For Cancers it's about recrafting their daily menu and diet to lose weight," says Furiate. "They love to cook and nurture others using food. They also love to comfort eat to hide their true feelings. They would be motivated to lose weight if the dieting and nutrition became a family affair where everyone was involved in adopting and maintaining healthy habits." Cancer will find fun in dieting by researching new recipes or learning how to make their favorite dishes a healthier way. It's not about taking away food, it's about making sure the food that is readily available is good for them. If they have their family there to support them, there is no doubt that they will improve their health and fitness. Start by reading up on 11 healthy frozen yogurt treats!
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Shutterstock(2)Leo loves to be social and loves to be in the spotlight. The best way to get a Leo to lose weight, then, is to get them engaged in some kind of team sport like soccer or basketball. Team sports allow Leos to burn off all of their pent up energy. They also provide Leos with a great combination of group exercise and the opportunity to be a stand-out player. Leos will be in their glory if they can make game-winning plays. Talk to your friends about getting some pickup games going, or join a group that would welcome an added player. Check out these other tips that will get and keep you motivated to move.
