Weight Loss Tips & Programs
Weight Loss Tips
1. Increase your intake of fiber rich foods. They will help fill you up faster and will help all the food you eat pass through your digestive system more easily.
2. Stretch your meals to, at least, 20 minutes or longer. Your stomach, mouth and brain are all connected and it takes 20 minutes of chewing before your stomach signals your brain that you are full. To feel full and successfully lose weight on any weight loss program, you need to eat slowly.
3. Increase your metabolism by as much as 40% by using hot and spicy foods such as hot peppers and mustards. Research shows these foods all increase your metabolism. For double duty, give up fat filled mayonnaise for mustard and add hot peppers to your food for greater flavor as well.
4. Exercise, for at least 30 minutes, 2 - 3 times per week, is an important key to increasing your metabolism and burning off excess fat.
5. To lose weight quickly, never skip a meal. Your first meal after waking starts your metabolism. Your metabolism then speeds up for about eight hours and then starts slowing down until you go to sleep when it goes to low until you wake and eat and start the cycle again. Skip breakfast and your metabolism doesn't get started until lunch time. You've just missed three or four hours of fat burning time. 6. Drinking 8 glasses of water a day is important to your health, your normal diet and to help you lose weight. Remember to drink water (and all liquids) away from meals as it dilutes the digestive process.
