TIPS TO HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT IN A HEALTHY WAY

 



Get off to the best start with these 8 diet and exercise tips.




Drink plenty of water. 

People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. Drink a glass of water before every meal. You can always drink infused water to add some flavor to the water. 

Eliminate liquid calories. 

Ever heard of ‘empty calories? It is possible to consume hundreds of calories a day by drinking sugar-sweetened soda, tea, juice, or alcohol. They provide extra energy content without offering any nutritional benefits. Aim to sticking to water or unsweetened tea and coffee.

Eat slowly and eat until ALMOST full. 

It takes 20 minutes for the body to release leptin (the body’s satiety hormone) to kick in and let you know that you have eaten enough, take your time, eat slowly and chew your food. This method can help you eat more mindfully and increase your body awareness leading to improved hormone control.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT stock junk food. 

To avoid temptation, do not stock junk food – such as chocolate, biscuits, crisps and sweet fizzy drinks – at home. Instead, opt for healthy snacks. If it is within reach, you are more likely to give into the temptation. Bonus: AVOID going shopping when you are hungry or having cravings.

Move your body on a regular basis. 

Being active is key to losing weight and keeping it off. Simple exercises like walking, dancing, low impact workouts can still provide lots of health benefits. There are amazing dance workout on youtube.

Do not focus on dieting but rather lifestyle changes. 

Look for a diet that is sustainable and focus on changing a few things a week rather than jumping in cold turkey. There's no reason you cannot enjoy the occasional treat as long as you stay within your daily calorie allowance.

For starters, focus on preparing your meals at home. 

This will save you money and added pounds but also ensure that you have control over what you eat, the ingredients in your food and the portion sizes. TIP: Plan meals ahead either by meal preps or shopping or thinking through what you will do. This is where a customized meal plan comes in handy.

STAY POSITIVE.

Weight loss is a gradual process, and a person may feel discouraged if the pounds do not drop off at quite the rate that they had anticipated. Just remember that it took years of bad habits to get to where you are and this cannot be undone in a short time. Some days will be harder than others when sticking to a weight loss or maintenance program. A successful weight-loss program requires the individual to persevere and not give up when self-change seems too difficult.

Myths about Keto diet

Image
One of the most common misconceptions about the keto diet is that ketosis is the same as ketoacidosis. Ketosis, of course, is the metabolic process your body goes through when it burns fat for energy. On a standard diet, your body burns sugar for energy. This means when you eat carbohydrates, your body processes those calories into energy. Ketosis is the foundation for the keto diet. Unfortunately, a lot of people confuse ketosis with ketoacidosis. The former is safe. The latter is deadly. Obviously, they are not one and the same. Ketoacidosis is a condition where your body builds up too many ketone acids, which is the byproduct of breaking down fat. When your body builds up too much ketones, you can die. The good news is, for most people, ketoacidosis is not a risk at all. This condition really only becomes a risk if your body does not produce any insulin whatsoever. Put simply, it mostly affects people who have type I diabetes. If you're like most people who are thinking of t
