Weight gain or loss has become one of the most talked about issue in
households, work place or any gathering. Granted, it’s not what people
like to talk about openly but times arise when we engage in deep talk
about gaining or losing weight. Its popularity also stems from wanting
to eat everything one craves without gaining weight unnecessarily. Of
course eating a lot and at times when it is not necessary will lead to
having extra fat in the wrong places. Then it boils down to a weight
issue, being fat. Who is fat? It could be me, you? Someone I know,
someone you know, someone in the family, a friend of a friend... The
list is endless.
For a particular person, gaining or losing weight may not be a
problem because the person has found a way to deal with his or her
weight issue. On the other hand, another person may find it completely
difficult to get in shape. Frustration comes in when that person
continues to hear how easy it is to lose weight when he/she had tried
severally and failed. Bear in mind that nothing good comes easy so if
you expect to get rid of that extra fat in the wrong places, then you
have to work for it.
For that, you’ll have to learn at your own pace HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT.
Eat Breakfast:
To avoid adding weight, one will have to inculcate the habit of
eating breakfast regularly. The morning meal should be taken preferably
within an hour of waking and at the same time each day. Eating breakfast
at that time will help keep your insulin levels steady and your
cholesterol levels lower. Any day you wake up late, try eating breakfast
as soon as you wake up.
Also, consider taking food rich in protein and high fiber food
for breakfast. Vegetables, eggs, fresh fruit, peanut butter etc will
take longer to process in the body so you’ll feel full throughout the
morning. This is not the same with refined sugar and some carbohydrate
food which takes short period to process and which will leave you
feeling hungry in no time. Find a way to avoid eating sugary pastries,
cereals, instant oatmeal or the likes of it for breakfast.
Exercise and break a sweat:
The truth of the matter is that to lose weight naturally, one would
have to exercise. Exercise helps you stay in shape and be healthy. It
works better if you sweat while the exercise process is on because it
means the waste is going off and fat is burning. To lose extra fat,
first work on your belly. When your belly is sticking out in the wrong
places or when you have ‘tires and spare parts’, you’ll appear fat. If
you deal with belly fat, then part of your weight issue is already
solved.
Drink a lot of Water:
Drinking water throughout the day can lead to a more active
metabolism. Food gets processed easily. Drinking water also helps your
body flush out waste or toxins thereby improving your health. To know if
you are sufficiently hydrated, drink water till your urine runs clear.
If it’s still yellow, then continue drinking (Use caution: Do not drink more than four glasses of water in any given hour).
Try to avoid gulping down water or drinking too much water in a short
period of time. This is because the kidneys in the body won’t be able to
flush it out fast enough and the blood will become waterlogged. Also,
don’t drink too much water during or immediately after exercising. Only
drink the equivalent of what you sweated during the exercise. How to
know? Sip and drink to your thirst.
