Tips For Weight Loss: - Throw out the Scale and Eat More by Terje Brooks
Ellingsen
Below are some tips for weight loss, some quite obvious others no so obvious.
Throw out the Scales
If you have bathroom scales, you should either get rid of them or put them away
for a while. Weight does not accurately reflect the level of your fitness. If
you should be measuring anything, it should be body fat, not the weight.
Eat More
Before you get too excited, understand that when you eat, it is not how much you
eat, but what you eat. If you find that getting fit and eating less food is too
hard, add more of the right food into your diet. Great options include an
orange, hard-boiled egg, small broiled chicken breast, and fresh vegetables such
as carrots, celery sticks. If you have a craving for something sweet, many
delicious options are available such as Weight Watchers cheesecake or Chocolate
Éclairs. Getting fit does not mean total deprivation.
Time for Lunch
Instead of eating a heavy lunch, put together something light and easy and go
for a walk. You can sip on a protein drink or snack on fruit while enjoying a
nice brisk walk before heading back to the office. You will feel refreshed and
more invigorated for your afternoon tasks.
Eat Less Later in the Day
Everyone knows, whether they want to admit it or not, reducing calories will
help you to lose weight. However, just as you should reduce the calorie intake,
you need to know when to eat. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day
and the one meal that should not be missed. Lunch should be healthy but a less
than what you ate for breakfast. As you approach dinner, eat healthy but light.
Avoid after dinner snacks or eating before bed!
Drink much water
Water is excellent for the body and good health. Water helps flush out toxins
and other unwanted things lingering in the body. Water also replenishes fluids
that help lubricate the internal body, keeps you hydrated, reduces hunger, which
helps with weight loss, and helps to make skin look smooth and young. If you are
not used to drinking water, it may seem hard at first, but very quickly, you
will enjoy the clean, refreshed way it makes you feel. At a minimum, you should
drink 64-ounces a day and more if you can.
Fitness and Food
Certain foods provide specific benefits for people who workout. If you need
quick energy or planning to run a 4K or 10K and need to accelerate your
metabolism, bread, grain-based food, sugar, and honey are great choices. If your
goal is to burn fat, you should eat peas, oat bran, pasta, rice, beans, lentils,
and soya beans.
