Spent a huge amount of time in the gym and yet there’s only a small change in your body? Tried several weigh loss program to no avail? Then perhaps there are some things you forgot doing while you are on your losing weight process. Read along and find out what you forgot to practice.
One of the most effective ways of losing weight is to drink a lot of water. Keep your body hydrated by drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day. Do not substitute water with juice. By keeping your body hydrated, you are helping your kidney to wash out the toxins easily. Drinking water and keeping hydrated can also help tone the muscles. Dehydrated muscles will never tone no matter how much exercise you do. Also, most often than not, we get confused with thirst and hunger. We tend to eat thinking we are hungry when in fact we are just thirsty.
Try to split your meal in a day. Instead of eating three full large meals a day, split them into five. Eat three times a day in sensible amount and have low calorie snacks in between. This can prevent you from eating too much during the entire day. Also, have your meal as scheduled. This can help your stomach adjust and learn when it should expect food. When you feel hungry few hours after you had eaten, try eating half amount of food and save the other half for later.
Make reading between the lines a habit. This means that practice reading the labels of the food you consume. Keep track with your calorie intake and make sure you only take the amount of calorie you need in a day. There are foods with labels indicating that is “non fat” but it can contain a lot of calories. In addition, there are also foods that says “low calorie” but may contain a lot of sugar which can cause development of fat in the body.
Check labels. Make checking labels of the food you eat a habit. This will allow you to keep track of the calorie you eat and the amount of sugar you consume. There are products that are labeled “healthy” but have high sugar level. Substitute them with fresh squeezed juice. Fresh juices taste the same but they do not contain sugar which can turn eventually to fats. There are also products that say “fat free” but are high in calorie. It is best to read the label and make sure that you do not consume more than the amount of calorie you need in a day.
