1.No
Eating After 7pm
This of
course depends on your sleeping schedule, but generally you should stop eating
at least 3 to 4 hours before you plan to go to bed. This allows you to burn off
most of the calories of your last meal and helps you sleep easier. If you eat
close to when you’re going to sleep your body cannot metabolize the food
properly, and a lot of it is stored as fat. Also, the last meal you eat should
not be a huge meal; you want to give your body time to burn the calories off.
2.Eat
Low Or No-Calorie Foods
There’s
really no such thing as a no calorie food, but there are foods which take more
calories for your body to digest than they contain themselves! So this really
is guilt free food that you can eat without worrying about. Your choices could
include foods such as celery, blueberries, lettuce, green beans, watermelon,
pears and grapes – not all of these are ‘no-calorie’ but they are very close.
3.Detox
Your Body
Detoxing
is a really quick method for losing weight. It’s not recommended long term but
you can shed off quite a few pounds doing a proper detox. There are various
detox supplements on the market and also different types of detox diets.
4.Get
More Active
Adding
some sort of physical exercise to your daily routine will work wonders in
weight loss as well as make you feel great! Other research has shown that
alongside extra physical activity, if you purposely try to add even more
activity to your daily routines you will shed even more weight. Things like parking
the car at the back of the parking lot or getting off the bus a few stops early
will burn extra calories throughout your day.
5.Don’t
Skip Breakfast
Everyone
says this and it really is that important. When you wake up your body has been
fasted for a long time and really needs some good quality energy to help you
get through the day. Eating a good healthy breakfast will do wonders for your
weight loss.
6.Green
Tea
Green
tea has been proven to assist in weight loss and has other amazing health
benefits. It is packed to the brim with antioxidants and reduces cholesterol,
slows down aging, helps digest different fats and speeds up your metabolism.
Everyone should drink green tea!
7.Get
More Fibre
Research
has shown that diets high in fibre are much better for losing weight. This is
because fibre helps you feel full longer and will stop you from over eating.
Vegetables, fruits, brown rice, oats and nuts are all loaded with fibre. You
can also get products such as psyllium husk powder or metamucil for additional fibre.
8.Drink
Loads Of Water
With
your additional physical exercise you are going to need to make sure that you
stay hydrated. This is very important and you should be aiming for at least 8
glasses of water per day (often more than that). Water also has the additional
benefit of filling you up which will stop you craving bad foods. Often when
people are dehydrated their brains will send messages to the body saying that
it needs water, but these are often misinterpreted as hunger!
9.Get
Started Early
As well
as getting the all-important breakfast in, studies have shown that people who
get active early in the morning burn up to 3 times more fat during the day! By
kicking off your day with some physical activity you set yourself up to be
working your best for the full duration of the day. You will feel like you have
more energy and will be more likely to stay consistent than if you were
exercising at the end of the day when you are already tired.
10.Make
The Right Choices
Weight
loss is all about making the right choices. There are going to be times when
you slip up but you have to learn from them and get back on track. You will
have to learn what works for you, but simple mind tricks can work wonders. Next
time you are craving that cake or burger ask yourself which you want more – the
cake/burger or to fit into a new pair of jeans? It’s pretty easy to make that
choice if you stop and ask yourself so simple things like this can help a lot.
It’s now time to integrate these tips into your daily life and get to work, good
luck!
