Have you been trying to lose weight for ages now? Did all
of your exercises and workouts go in vain? Are you tired of eating that same
tasteless food every day? Do you want to look ravishing in that body-hugging
dress?
Well, if the answer to all of the above questions is YES,
then you are in the right place.
1. Wear
Jeans
You’re coming after work and
you want to make yourself a delicious lunch.
Go ahead, but first take off
those comfortable yoga pants.
Instead, put on some
jeans.
It may sound silly to you, but
note this – we tend to overeat when we are dressed in comfortable clothes.
Cassie Bjork of Healthy Simple
Life, also suggests to stop eating when you’re 80% full.
This allows your brain to
connect with your stomach and realize that it’s had enough.
This will prevent weight gain
and lower the risks of heart attack and diabetes.
What’s more, stopping eating
before you’re totally full prevents blood sugar crashes that can lead you to
overeat later in the day.
Remember that obesity can
decrease your life by up to 8 years, so think before you eat until you’re
stuffed!
2. Eat
Breakfast Like A King And Dinner Like A Pauper
In interviews with people aged
100 or more, they all had one thing in common – their smallest meal in the day
was their dinner.
Tel Aviv University has
researched this further by putting two groups of overweight women on a 1,400
calorie diet.
Group A ate a dinner of 200
calories and a breakfast of 700 calories, and lost 50% more weight than Group
B, who ate dinner as their highest calorie meal.
Group A also lost twice as many
inches around their waist when compared to Group B.
This is great for losing weight
but also shows the effect on life expectancy.
Both men and women have a
higher risk to die if they have a larger waist because belly fat is often
connected with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol and coronary
artery disease.
3. Enjoy A
Cup Of Tea
In Okinawa, the small Japanese
island, 7 out of every 10,000 citizens lives to see 100.
Explorer and author, Dan
Buettner, conducted research that shows the citizens there drink green tea
every day.
Researchers from Norwich
BioScience Institutes have discovered that the polyphenols, a micro-nutrient
type contained in green tea, help in blocking VEGF, a signaling molecule that
causes plaque buildup in arteries that can provoke strokes, vascular diseases
and heart attacks.
Green teas powerful leaves also
contain antioxidants, EGCG and catechins, which cause fat release from cells
and improve the levels of hunger-quelling hormones in our bodies.
A Swedish study has shown that
drinking tea during your meals lessens the desire for eating, even up to two
hours after.
Drink a cup of green tea with
your breakfast, lunch, and dinner for maintaining your optimal weight and
reaping all the additional health benefits!
4. Add Fish
To The Menu
You just need to incorporate
more nuts and fatty fish like wild salmon, sardines, or tuna into your diet.
These foods are rich in omega 3
fatty acids which lower your overall mortality risk by 27% and the risk of
dying from a heart disease by 35%.
Omega 3’s also prevent blood
sugar spikes and speed up your bodies recovery after a workout, boosting your
weight loss.
5. Drink A
Glass Of Wine
Researchers have found out that
women who drink a glass of wine every day have a lower mortality risk.
Also, those that consume
alcohol regularly in moderate amounts are less likely to gain weight and
succumb to obesity.
However, if you are already
overweight, drinking alcohol will have a contrary effect.
