1. H2gO
Drink tons of water daily! Have it first
thing in the morning and even before every meal.
Our body is comprised largely of water
and thus it is necessary for all of our body processes.
Water is beneficial in promoting
digestion and is the best cleansing ingredient available to man.
It also aids in speeding up our
metabolism.
Want to lose weight fast and in a
healthy manner?
Increase your water intake and try to
have it warm.
You will reap the rewards in no time.
2. Go A La Carte
Research has found that consumers who
order a la carte have fewer calories than those who order meals to share.
That’s because, many times, we end up
eating more with shared orders than we actually should.
Having your own plate with just enough
food for you is a better option to choose.
3. Stick To The Diet You Know
Studies have shown that people who
regularly ate the same thing had smaller bellies than those who always tried
new things.
Sounds boring, yeah? However, it’s
because newer flavors excite you and cause you to indulge a bit more.
Eating your regular meal makes you eat
the same portion and feel satisfied with it.
If you’re already doing this, switch to
a healthier option like a whole wheat sandwich with greens for better results.
4. Have A Good Breakfast
You probably always hear the saying,
“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”
Here’s a reminder – you don’t hear it
for nothing.
Many women think skipping the meal helps
in keeping a flatter tummy.
That’s wrong! Having no breakfast
starves your body of essential nutrients and causes you to gorge over the next
meal.
Your metabolism has no way of starting up
if you give it no fuel.
Thus, you’re stored up fat stays as it
is and there are higher chances of obesity that way.
Feed your body with the right food when
you wake up.
Give it lean proteins, good carbs and
fiber for a balanced, nutritious meal.
5. Have An Early Dinner
People have questioned whether eating an
early dinner really does promote weight loss or not? Well, the answer is yes.
Eating an early dinner gives the body
enough time to digest the food more efficiently before hitting the sack.
Therefore, it also promotes better sleep
while fighting off the possibility of indigestion.
Research has found that eating dinner
3-4 hours before sleeping is best.
Follow that for a healthier you.
6. Plan The Snacks You Take
Yeah, we all think snacking is a bad thing
but think again.
Having regular snack intervals between
your bigger meals actually promotes a faster metabolism.
Giving your body fuel to digest keeps it
burning thus aiding in fat breakdown and weight loss.
Also, snacking helps you fight the
hunger pangs that come marching in when the body is low on sugar.
Have healthy munchies planned for your
day, like fruits, veggie sticks or nuts, that are filling and nutritious.
7. Weigh Yourself On A Daily Basis
What?? Are you serious?!?
Yes, we are and we’ll explain why.
Weighing yourself can be difficult for
many, especially after indulging on a meal or having that slice of cake you
know you shouldn’t have had.
However, it’s also the best eye-opener.
We know we are at the moment, we know
where we want to be, and weighing yourself daily teaches you how to get there.
How? You realize the effects of your
different food intake on your body.
You realize what works and what doesn’t
when it comes to your workout and your diet resulting in you making better
choices in the long run.
8. Read Healthy Articles
You want to keep your mind as nourished
as your body so read material that will cause you to make better choices on a
daily basis.
Research found that people who actually
practice this make improvements into their diet and are encouraged to follow
exercise plans.
Subscribe to newsletters or magazines
that you enjoy and inspire you to try harder.
9. Give Yourself Rewards
When you’ve finally established your
routine, and are doing great in following it, incorporate a reward system for
yourself.
This is great in so many ways. It can be
something to work for and look forward to.
When you have a reward day planned, you
work hard right before to compensate for what’s in store.
You get yourself excited, thus,
motivating you as well.
It also serves as a great form of
relaxation.
Whether it’s a spa day, lunch with
friends, some cocktails after work, or a dinner and movie date, it’s a time for
you to have a break and unwind.
Dieting and working out can be tiring
both on the mind and body.
At times, taking a breather can be just
what you need and you’ll be ready to get back to routine in no time.
10. Whole Grain Goodness
Whether it’s bread or pasta, brown is so
much better for you.
They are rich in fiber which is good for
proper digestion and burns much slower keeping you satisfied longer.
Stick to whole wheat or whole grain
products to keep you leaner.
