What Are The Real Ways To Lose Weight?

By Grace Cullen

Losing pounds is not the horrible thing that many people think it is. You don't have to eat only tasteless foods that have no flavor or exercise until you from exhaustion.

There are really a great many foods available in your local food store that when mixed with proper portion control and planned meals are just one of the techniques I'm going to show you how to shed pounds.

There are a number of straightforward things you can do among many methods to lose pounds. One of the simplest things is one of the toughest also. One of the most important reasons why Americans put on weight is they will break on something any time they feel hungry.

If you substitute a glass of water rather than a snack when you're feeling hungry you can cut out anywhere from 100 to one thousand calories in a single day! Drinking enough water daily ( up to eight glasses ) not only will curb your hunger but will also help you flush your system daily. It is also suggested you sip water with your meal in order to increase the volume you are taking in for your meal.

Another one of the ways to shed pounds that's often common sense is to practical goals for your self. If it's only 4 weeks to Christmas or New Year's and you want to drop twenty pounds you are setting your self up for disaster.

Common advice from your doctor is to expect not more than a 2 pound per week weight loss for health reasons and to keep the weight off over a period.

With any diet if you're on one long enough you are going to feel the urge to spend. The key is to essentially build in a splurge every ten or 12 meals so the urge doesn't build to the point where you totally abandon your diet. Trick cyclists and physiologists say that craving actually last for only about 10 minutes. If you feel a craving coming on try to take your intellect off the thirst by doing some task that gets you really concerned so that you are not brooding about food in any way.

Studies show that folks who have lost weight and have kept it off for at least a year have a tendency to eat lighter meals more often during the day. In fact the average joe who has kept off their weight loss eats a mean of five times each day. - 29951
