Weight Loss Tips - Six Easy Steps to Control Your Weight and Transform Your Body

Be in Control

Be in Control

You must learn to control your portions and to eat until you feel full, and not until you are no longer hungry any more. It takes up to 20 minutes for the body to stop having hunger pangs. A good way to do this is to slow down while eating, chew your food around twenty times before swallowing. This also helps with food digestion.

Ask Relevant Questions

Always question the food you are about to eat. This way you will soon have a mental picture of all you consume which will help with your calorie count

Is this low fat meat?

Should I eat the chicken skin? (it is nice and crispy - but NO!)

Have my vegetables been steamed or fried?

Are my portions smaller?

The fat on a steak is really lovely but its also a big NO!

Sweet fizzy drinks are also a big NO!

We can go on and on forever with these questions and comments, so only a few examples are needed. Add to your list of mental questions as you get better at thinking about what you eat

Always be Consistent

Be consistent in eating 5 times a day. This will help increase your metabolism, assist you with less hunger pangs, and help you to not overeat. If you find you are getting hungry between the meals and snacks try drinking water as this helps.

Watch your portions and how the food has been cooked - grilled or steamed is healthier than fried etc.

Cleanse your system

By drinking 2 liters of water a day you will help your body remove and release toxins that have been stored from previous bad eating habits. Water will also assist in keeping your hunger pangs under control.

Supplement your diet

Due to the cutting down on the calories we consume we may not get the correct amount of nutrients we need. So try supplement your diet with a multi-vitamin.

This ensures we remain healthy while losing our excess weight.

Self Control

Refrain from all those yummy foods we love, and from eating at the wrong times. Remember we want our bodies not to have to digest while we are sleeping or exercising. So eat at least 3 hours before you retire to bed, and avoid eating or drinking anything other than water before you exercise.

If you can stick to the six easy steps above for about 8 weeks you weight loss should satisfy even the most ardent of dieters. Remember to snack on good healthy foods and also try to take in as much Omega 3 you possibly can as this enhances your health and metabolism. Also remember to up your exercise as this increases your metabolism as well.
