by Vina A. Benemerito
Have you been trying so hard to lose weight but still can’t reach the weight you’ve been dying to achieve?.. here are the ways to achieve that in just 7 ways!..
1. Drink water …
No, you don't have to fill up like a tub, but ensure that you drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. Don't substitute for juice. Your body should always be hydrated. Your kidneys will thank you as it can easily flush out the waste. With adequate water intake your body will be able to metabolize fat more effectively. And if you have a glass of water 10-15 minutes prior to your meal, you will feel full once you start eating. Another fun fact, did you know that you can lose 62 calories by drinking ice cold water? But it’s better to drink it between meals or before meals, so that your food gets digested properly.
2. Eat 5 times a day …
Start with breakfast. The more you eat for breakfast, the less food you will want to eat at night. Please, don't skip this meal as you'll end up devouring everything in sight for the rest of the day. You don't need to gobble up 5 large meals, just 3 meals of a sensible size and 2 delicious yet low calorie snacks. Eat sensibly so your body doesn't crave for food. If you treat your body right it won't demand for more attention!.
3. Use weights …
Needless to say, exercise is crucial to weight loss. You can't expect to sit on the couch all day, sip water, and lose weight. Join a good gym that lets you work with weights. It will help you build muscle and your metabolism rate will increase. You'll soon see the fat come off and in its place muscle will develop.
4. Use smaller plates in dark colors …
The hotel industry has changed the way we look at food. Today a regular burger can feed an elephant. Well, almost! Check your portions the next time you dine out. You don't need to finish every morsel. So, what you should do is ask your waiter to put half of your meal into a doggy bag before it even makes to the table. This way you will not be tempted and you will feel full eating less. And you will have something for breakfast too!
5. Read between the lines …
Food and drink products are all out to get you. They scream "˜Buy me! Buy me!’ It could be "˜fat free' but it could still have a lot of calories. You need to analyze the nutrition label on the cover. The number one example of this is sodas. Find out what's good for you and what isn't. Knowing in advance can help you stay away from products that are calorie-enriched. Oh and when shopping for groceries, avoid the aisles with cookies, frozen pizzas and ice-cream – it’s not the best place to test your will-power.
6. Keep a journal …
It helps to document what you eat. This way you can keep track and evaluate your eating habits at the end of each week. And if you’re a little more tech-savvy, then you could always maintain a weight-loss blog. Ask your dietician to look at your journal and suggest improvement points. I found it helpful to measure myself with a meter every morning. Every time I skipped dinner, my waist was a little bit smaller – and that’s what gave me the strength to get my appetite under control.
7. Don't punish yourself …
Go easy on yourself at least one day in a week. If you begin to dislike your diet then there's something wrong. Find a diet that suits your body type and your lifestyle.
You will definitely see results with these 7 fastest ways to lose weight. If you're motivated enough to stick to the regime, you'll get there faster than ever!
