A common misconception of people who undergo diet procedures is that if they miss a meal, chances are strong that they will lose weight as well. This is so not true. When you miss a meal, it is just natural that you go hungry and start craving for food. The hungrier you become, the more food you eat. And, the plan to lose weight by skipping meals fires back at you.
The body needs food to keep it strong and healthy. The issue here now is not that you’re eating, but what food enters your body. You may be thinking that with the food you’re eating you’re providing nourishment for the body. What you may not be aware of is that the foods you eat are being stored not as energy, but as fat deposits.
So, if you want to lose your excess poundage, eat smart. Start by ensuring you don’t skip any meals. Skipping meals can make you feel weaker, plus, when you starve yourself, chances are you’ll start developing another illness, that is, ulcers. Try to eat small amounts of food instead of gobbling large amounts that are harder to burn.
Eat more vegetables and fruits, and moderate your intake of carbohydrates and fats. Proteins are good at making you feel full even if you have eaten only a small amount of food. Go for whole wheat and brown breads instead of the regular white breads as these are high in carbohydrates and sugar content. Mind your calories and eat more food rich in fiber.
For a more effective diet program, double your efforts by increasing your physical activities. Walk instead of taking a cab if you’re going to the mall that is a block or two away from where you are. Join sports clubs and attend aerobics sessions. Do yoga. Run. Cycle. Swim. There really are a lot of activities that you can do to keep yourself mobile. Do these activities consistently and be happily surprised with the results.
For sure, you’ll never go the same old route again.
