10 Easy Ways to Lose Weight
We all live in a fast and busy world where in order to earn and survive, people end up ignoring their true wealth, their own Health. As the old saying goes; Health is Wealth, no happiness will ever satisfy you if your health degrades. With our busy schedules and increased work pressure, we hardly get any time to think about where our health is going until something devastating happens.
Obesity is the mother of all diseases. With the increase in the number of processed food entering the markets the risk of obesity has followed only one trend, upwards. So to keep up with the accelerating lives and prevent decelerating health consciousness, here are 10 easy ways to lose weight with just changing your food habits:
1. Hunger
Uncontrolled hunger is the major reason for obesity. The advent of processed food in our diet is an alarming problem which needs to be taken care of. If you consume more processed food you will always feel hungry and will end up eating more than what you should have. To control your hunger you should only eat whole natural food. Eat food with natural fat as it helps us feel full and destroys hunger.
2. Drinks
The major problem with us that we do not associate soda or sweet drinks with weight gain as we do with other food products. To wake everyone up from this illusion I assure that soda drinks do turn into fat in our body and cause obesity. These drinks contain a huge amount of sugar and carbohydrates which are realy not what you want in your drinks. So giving up sugary drinks will really really help you in weight loss and try to replace it with water, coconut water or tea and see the change in your body for yourself.
3. Toxic Sludge
You will often find drinks or food in supermarkets with tag lines such as "DIET", "SUGARFREE" or "LITE" written all over it to assure you that it is free from extra calories but these are nothing but marketing strategies. When you look on the back side of these products and read the ingredient list, you will find a number of chemicals used to manufacture it which is nothing but Toxic Sludge. Just ignore anything from the stores and start having natural foods or drinks.
4. Eat Fat!
Over the years we have heard that fat is our enemy and we should eat less fat if we want to lose our weight. But that myth has been busted! In recent researches it has been found that the main reason for obesity are not fats but carbohydrates and sugars in our food. Reducing fats in our diet can lead to many heart and brain diseases and having fat rich food can make you feel full thus stopping you from overeating, hence controls hunger.
5. Starvation
Saying no to food and reducing your calorie intakes by starving yourself will never help you in reducing your weight effectively. Initially it may seem like a good and working option but sooner you will realise the ill effects of starving yourself such as nutrient deficiencies, weaker immune systems and weakness. So rather than reducing your calorie intake by starving yourself, go for more natural foods such as vegetables and fruits which will not only provide you with necessary nutirients but also make you feel ful and control your hunger.
6. Avoid Quick Fix for weight loss
Weight loss industry is a whooping $60 billion industry offering you magical products which will help you in reducing your weight. From diet pills to pre-packaged food products these products claim to change your life. But if you look closely on the backside of those packages, you will find in small prints "Results not typical, Diet and exercise are really important". So instead of spending your money on these "magical" products, spend them on healthy food which will help you control your hunger and prevent the intakes of toxic sludge.
7. Stress
Stress is also an evil contributor to weight gain. If you have a stressful routine, you are at a greater risk of obesity. All your wieght loss efforts will be sabotaged if your body is stressed out. When your body is uber stressed then it will prioritize activities like immunity or digestion and it will keep activities such as fat metabolism or muscle formation on the backfoot. So even if you are working out but your mind is under stress then your body will not be able to burn fat as effectively as it would have in the ideal case. By changing your body cycle ie by staying late at night and waking up late the next day can also put your body under stress and it will add up to the inefficiency of your body to burn fat.
8. Snacks
Snacks management is also very important if you are going for weight reduction. The urge to eat snacks is caused due to excessive hunger and to fulfill that urge we turn to easily available fast foods which in turn adds up to the unnecessary calories intake. So the best way to avoid this is to always carry an apple, a banana or any fruit you like and whenever you start feeling the urge to eat, just have your favorite fruit. This will help you to resist the temptation to have fast foods and will also provide you with important nuritents.
9. Increase physical activities
Apart from improving eating habits it is also important to increase your physical activities. People who do not go to gyms can make their daily activities more physical. It is not necessary to go for jogging or cycling but you can also burn your calories by using stairs instead of lifts or escalators, walking fast instead of strolling, doing sqauts while brushing your teeth, laughing out with your friends and most importantly decrease your presence online and start interacting with the outiside world more!
10. Habits
The main problem with people who want to reduce their weight is that they do everything for a short amount of time and the moment their goal is achieved they go back to their old eating habits. This will only bring them back to sqaure one! So instead of making your goals short termed, make these good eating habits a part of your daily routine until you and these good habits become inseprable. When you adapt these good habits with all your dedication and infuse them into your character, then my friend, obesity will say its final goodbyee!
