Tips How to Control Your Weight

Share
Festive season’s around the corner and it’s about time when some of us probably starts worrying how to resist the favourite food being served and made available on the table, to avoid being overweight. Anyone who is overweight will testify that losing weight is not as easy as it seems. The people that are lean, or have gone from fat to skinny will say it’s just a matter of motivation and elbow grease; though it is not as simple as that. Here are some quick simple tips to get ahead!

Substitute Water.
Our bodies are about 65-70% water. It follows that water would be not only essential, but the best possibly choice of liquids to ingest. In fact, our bodies will sometimes simulate a hunger response, when in reality the body is craving hydration. When hungry, drink a glass or two of water to check if it suppresses your hunger.

Chew Your Food.
Chewing our food very slowly and deliberately has several benefits that are often overlooked. It gives us the ability to relax, and enjoy our meal. Slow chewing is the first, and highly important, step in a complex system of digestion. Besides, if we eat slowly, we might feel full before finishing the whole meal, and can leave the rest for the next meal.


Exercise Daily.
Obviously for weight control, we have to include something like exercise. A 30 day trial with waking up, and walking for 30 minutes first thing in the morning. Keep a journal record and you’ll find it amazing during the period of time you are following this habit.

Publicize Your Intentions.
Start a blog, join a forum, drop us a wall message on Beauty Tips Network’s Fan Page and have other people keep you accountable to help. Tell other people your plan, it would help you get the motivation to go with it!

Create a Food Schedule.
Plan your day so that you’re eating at approximately the same time each day. This scheduling will incorporate itself into your circadian rhythm, and aid indigestion.

Don't Over Eat.
Know your limit and stop eating when you are full. I have often been a victim of wanting to finish a meal so that it doesn’t go to waste. This has left me with many a stomach ache. Next time, doggy bag it for later, and don’t hurt yourself!

Choose Your Snacks Wisely.
Put down the chips and cheese puffs. Pick up the apple and baby carrots. Make the right decision;  you can do it.

Lifestyle.
Remember, it’s not about special diets, or special exercise programs. The real secret is in turning your health into a lifestyle, and focusing on this healthy lifestyle with every choice you make.
