Lose Weight Through Eating And Drinking


With the hectic lifestyle we have nowadays, most people forget about their figure. It may be caused by stress due to personal problems or work. Other people would say that they are getting heavier and heavier, but still they eat more than the usual. Once, they see themselves in the mirror, that's the only time they realized that they need to lose weight. However, dieting is not that easy. It takes a lot of patience and control. You can follow these simple tips so that you can lose weight. Again, a disclaimer... this would not give you immediate results, as I have mentioned, it takes patience and control:

1. DRINK 8-10 GLASSES OF WATER EVERYDAY. You need to start drinking in the morning before you take your breakfast. You also need to have water intake within the day and if you're into this practice, you would eventually find yourseld craving for more water.

2. DO NOT SKIP BREAKFAST. They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. This is where we get the energy we can use for the day's activities.

3. HAVE 3 MEALS AND 2 SNACKS DAILY. I must say that this is an opportunity for those who are dieting. This is where control comes in. A good suggestion would be is when you eat, practice to reduce what you eat. For example, yesterday, you had a cup of rice, why not make it half today. If you continue ithis practice, I'm sure that you'll get use to that and you'll eventually find yourself having that habit. Having a healthy snack means you can have bread and tea, perhaps.

4. ALWAYS HAVE VEGGIES PART OF YOUR MEALS. Vegetables are rich source of fiber and it flushes out toxins and fats out of our body.

5. PREPARE YOUR OWN FOOD. Nowadays, we have a lot of restaurants and fast-food chains that offer a variety of food. It is better if you would prepare your own food at least you know the contents, you can ensure that ingredients are fresh and you can also save money in the long run.

6. DRINK A GLASS OF WATER AFTER EACH SNACK. This will help you achieve 8-10 glasses of water everyday. Drinking after every bite would also make you full faster.

7. EAT SLOWLY AND ENJOY YOUR FOOD. When you are eating, make sure that you enjoy and savor the taste of your food. Chew them slowly while eating. According to studies, Germans are mostly thin because they chew their food properly before they swallow it. While enjoying the food, sit down properly as well and maintain your good posture.

I admit, I'm now doing all the steps above. You can try it too. There is no harm in trying, if it will make you look good, why not?
