Nutritional Tips for Weight Loss |
|
|
|
|
|
- Drink 2-3 liters of water a day. 64-96 ounces. 8-12 eight ounce glasses. If your mouth is dry, you have already been dehydrated for some time. It is important to drink enough water when starting an exercise program because your body will release toxins and they need a way to escape. It also is also essential for weight loss because it helps flush the system, carrying fat out. People have been known to jump start weight loss just by drinking the proper amount of water a day. Every day. Did I say this is important?
- Try to eat 5-6 small meals a day. If you only eat one or two meals a day, this might sound very overwhelming. Try adding one meal at a time until it becomes a habit. Start with eating breakfast if you don't already. Or try only eating half your sandwich for lunch and eating the other half later in the afternoon. The idea is to keep your metabolism smooth and active. If you overload in two meals a day, your body hoards all it can in fat cells because it is afraid another meal may be far away.
- For two weeks, measure portions. This will train your eye to see what a proper portion size looks like. Warning: Supersizing can triple your fat intake!!
- Use a book of Food Counts. These books are available in every bookstore. Find out what is in what you eat and you will automatically start making better choices.
- Plan ahead. If you take your lunch to work or plan where you can buy healthy food, you'll be less likely to make impulsive, unhealthy desicions. Didn't your mother tell you never to go to the grocery store hungry?
- Choose complex carbohydrates over simple sugars. Carbs found in oatmeal, whole grain breads, pastas and cereals take longer to burn off, so they keep your metabolism active for a longer period of time. Simple sugars are found in fruit, white flour and candy.
- Eat your vegetables. You need the vitamins. You need the antioxidants. They make every meal more flavorful and nutritious. They fill you up so you don't eat four servings of pasta.
- Take small steps. Be patient. If this seems overwhelming, pick one thing to focus on at a time. Incorporate this into your life. It will become a habit. Then add a new good habit every week or two. Add a meal. Drink water. Decrease portion sizes. Cut out fried foods. Start eating oatmeal for breakfast. Try to form lasting habits instead of just going on another crash diet. You didn't gain weight overnight, you don't need to lose it overnight. Set goals and be proud of yourself when you reach them. Most importantly, don't punish yourself when you mess up. We all have bad days. Having a good attitude and praising yourself for how good you have been to yourself will help ensure your sucess.
