If
one is trying to lose a few pounds, do not start by trying to overhaul both
exercise and eating habits. One is better off finding the simple things that
can be done on a daily basis-while following the rules of eating less fats,
doing physical exercises and more vegetables. A combination of the above will
scale down one’s weight in no time. The following are the simple things that
will help tone down one’s weight:
Drink lots of fluids.
At
breakfast, take juice or soda but during the day, take pure water. On average,
an American usually consumes 245 calories from drinks on daily basis which adds
up to 90,000 calories per year. It results in addition of 25 pounds from soft
drinks. The study also proved that soft drinks do not trigger as sense of
fullness like water and food. To avoid this, take pure water as often as
possible.
Carry a palm-book for
a whole week fulltime.
List down everything consumed-even sweets. Studies show that persons that
include this exercise in their daily life reduce the foods they consume by 15%
hence being a good candidate for weight loss.
Clip a pedometer to
your belt.
A pedometer is used to count number of steps a person makes in a timely
duration. On average, sedentary persons walk 2,000 steps. An addition of 2,000
steps on daily basis will reduce your weight or maintain it. Keep adding steps
until you get the desired weight.
Add about 10% ofcalories on daily basis. Adjust your eating habits to include
10% more calories which are more useful to your body and reduce consumption of
extra fat adding foods.
Walk for 45 minutes
daily. A
study showed that a 30-minutes walk on a daily basis helps maintain body weight
while any additional walking time reduces weight. The 45-minutes walk would
help reduce around 30 pounds annually.
Eat fat releasing
foods.
The foods prevent one from feeling deprived and give you energy. The released
energy is used up by the body hence not making your body require more energy
from outside.
Reduce intake ofhigh-calorie foods.
Reduce eating chips by combining each bite with a lot of fresh salsa as
suggested by Jeff Novick. High calorie foods should always accompany your diet
if you want to lose weight.
Bring
blue color around you. Blue color
kills appetite and that’s why most eateries are painted in warm colors like
orange, red, and yellow. The warm colors increases appetite hence one should
avoid warm colors and keep near dull colors like blue.
People
gain weight for all sorts of reasons from medical, lifestyle, to family
history. Would you want to know why and how do people gain weight?
