Here are my 10 tips to losing body fat and keeping it off.
You must start by changing the way you think about food and the habits that you have formed regarding eating. You must realise that you cannot eat junk food and lose body fat. You must make the commitment in your mind before you start to eat like a thin person.
Eat like naturally slim people by grazing your food, which means eating smaller amounts of food more often. This will raise your metabolism and help you to burn fat.
Only eat when you are hungry, this sounds obvious but most people eat without thinking, like eating popcorn with a movie or some fast food on the run. So think before you put some food in your mouth, ask yourself am I really hungry.
I feel hungry or am i. Your brain receives a signal when you are hungry and it also receives a signal when you are thirsty but the problem lies in the fact that these signals are almost identical. So how do you know which signal is which? Well you don't so the best way to find out is if you feel hungry then drink a glass of water and then wait for a short time and see if you still have a feeling of hunger, if you do then eat.
Thin people eat natural food so only eat foods from natural sources. Eat wholegrains, lean meats and fish, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds and pulses. These foods provide your body with all the nutrients it needs and help keep you feeling fuller for longer. While keeping your blood sugar stable.
Refined sugar is a massive problem in the western world and it is found in foods like sweets and cookies. When you eat refined sugar you raise your blood sugar dramatically and your body will release insulin to bring it back down to normal levels, however that means taking the sugar from your blood and storing it as fat.
Watch out for the hidden sugars that are in white bread and pasta and even in brown bread, yes brown bread is just white bread dyed brown to make it look healthy. These hidden sugars act just like sweets in your system so read the label carefully and remember to buy wholemeal or wholegrain.
Move it to lose it- you must start a regular exercise plan if you want to lose weight. Start slow and build up over time and find something that you enjoy doing. It will make it easier for you to continue into the future.
Build muscle to burn fat- it is a fact that the more muscle you have on your body the more calories your body will burn while resting. So take up resistance training 3 times a week to add lean muscle to your body and have a bonus of a increased metabolism.
Preparation prevents piss poor performance- always carry a healthy snack with you just in case you get hungry when you are out of the house. Keep a diary of what you eat each day and weigh yourself once a week.
