Eat Lose Weight

By Waheed Elqalatawy

Eat, lose weight, and gain weight are contradictory words to overweight people, as they never admit that they eat too much. The bare truth is that they ingest large amount of calories that need to be changed (reduced). If a normal person eats around 2000 calories per, day he neither gains nor loses weight according to physiological principles, then how do you think, he gained that weight?. Write down what you eat for 1 week and you will discover you eat far more than 2000 calories.

Now after you have realized the fact that you are overeating, you need to change your eating habits, and here are some tips to help you easily perform that change to lose weight:

1- Eat your best foods and do not think you are “on diet”:

Pick out the best from your daily diet and use them to make the change in your new eating habits. Do not lie a prisoner for the “diet” idea because you know it will end some day. When we know the diet is ended, many of us gain back all the lost weight, or most of it. Make your usual foods serve the purpose of acquiring a new life style.

2- Do not be “too generous” with your body:

It is evidenced that that as long as there is more choice on offer, we consume more foods and calories. Try to reduce the variety of food for each meal, to leave no room for one more item like a delicious looking dessert or ice cream.

You can select a balanced diet and lower the amount of choice for each meal by eating regular small meals.

3- Do not neutralize the possible weight loss benefits of a food:

When Mayonnaise is added to salad, it overloads it with calories and makes it one of the worst weight loss foods. If you fill your potatoes with baked beans or cottage cheese you will keep away tons of calories that come from a gigantic butter you added to the potatoes.

Be aware how is your healthy food served.

4- Add a little protein to a meal or a snack:

A study showed that protein in each meal suppresses the appetite of people on Atkins’ diet more than those on the low fat diet. It seems that Dr Atkins discovered that protein dulls the appetite1!

A good recipe for weight loss is to be convinced that eat too much, change this habit, and eat in a healthy style to lose weight.

Who would of thought you could eat, lose weight, and stay healthy in the process. The realization is it all comes down to the choices you make everyday. What we’ve done is compile a few methods you can use to eat what you want and still lose weight. The skeptic side has probably already set in by now, but by the time you’re done reading this, your thought process will be different.

Try To Slow Down In This Fast Paced World

Sure, everyone is on the run 24/7 these days, but how often do you stop and think about your health? The McDonald’s drive-thrus, Starbucks and many other companies are great ways to eat on the run and get that quick boost before the day starts. The only problem is it’s a short solution to a bigger problem.

Eventually, you find yourself in a routine throughout the week because it’s convenient. The fried food and large amounts of calories associated with companies like these translate into gaining weight for you. Unless, of course, you have the time to exercise everyday and keep it off. However, if you don’t have the time to make breakfast in the morning, you probably don’t have time to exercise in the evening.

Eating At Specific Times

In the good old days, families had breakfast before school, lunch at noon, and dinner around 5:30 in the evening. Whatever happened to that routine? Well, individuals working different shifts, single family households, and various other aspects have brought a domino effect all the way down to the way we eat. History says we usually go back to the basics and eating at normal times is a great place to begin.

No more late night rendezvous with your local Taco Bell or phone call to the pizza place at 11 o’clock at night. Make it a point to eat earlier and before 8:00pm. This alone will allow you to eat, lose weight and feel full the rest of the evening. However, if you just can’t seem to quit eating late at night, make sure it’s something light. Instead of ice cream try fruit or granola bars, just make sure you don’t go overboard before bed.

When Push Comes To Shove

In order to eat, lose weight and stay healthy at the same time the tips above are crucial. We understand the fight you’ll have to put up to make it happen so at times there are ways to bend the rules. One of the best ways is to eat several small meals throughout the day. Think of it as constant snacking, but with healthy foods. Replacing pastas and double bacon cheeseburgers with fruits and vegetables is very beneficial.
