Losing weight and living a healthy lifestyle is on of the most difficult task we will had to deal with in life. I've lost weight in the past ,and I am currently trying to lose some.
Eating five to six smaller meals throughout the day rather than three large ones can keep blood sugar levels constant. In this way you will never feel hungry and not be reaching for a snack as usual.
This does not have to be sudden and dramatic change in your diet. Make the changes gradual and you will avoid those cravings. Still eat what you love, but if what you love is high in fat and calories, eat it less often. Have one meal a week where you eat whatever you want. If you do have a 'cheat' meal once a week, the rest of your diet must be low in fat. Start packing your lunch instead of eating take out every day.
If you are in a stressed state, your body produces two hormones; cortisol and adrenaline. Cortisol released to your body causes an increase in appetite thereby making you crave for extra servings.This - usually called stress eating disorder - can only make it difficult to lose weight.
Moreover, stress has been seen as the major cause of heart related diseases. Therefore avoiding being in a tensed state not only help your weight loss result but also helps to eliminate the development of heart diseases.
Don't Focus On Losing: Instead of setting a goal each week of losing "x" amount of pounds instead make a goal of exercising "x" amount of times. Your weight can fluctuate so much for so many different reasons that ONLY basing your success on your weight can be very inaccurate.
I decided to make small change that helped me lose weight. I drank less soda and more water. Instead of driving five block to the grocery store,I walked. Presently, I rarely drink soda.
Drink water. I know this sound like a strange tip but the majority of people do not drink enough water in their daily routine. You should be drinking between 3-5 litres of water a day. This can be done quite easily if you replace every second cup of coffee with a bottle of water.
