Now remove the pounds
You have decided to lose weight? How will you achieve your intentions? "To achieve weight loss, people must make changes. Moreover, it is easier said than done. "Says Dr. Walji Shahebina family physician at the Medical Center Weight Management Calgary. If you are overweight, simply to lose five percent may improve your health and decrease the risk of disease. This is why it is useful to apply the six tips below.
1. Do not skip breakfast
You may believe that you will lose weight if you eliminate the breakfast, but the effect is quite the opposite. The morning meal is the one who sets in motion your metabolism for the day. "If you skip breakfast, your metabolism will run at idle. Eat well in the morning you will also avoid overeating at other meals. "Says Dr. Walji.
For best results, take portions large enough and well balanced high fiber cereal, fruit and protein. If this is a big change for you, start with small portions that will increase gradually, but stop skip this meal. And the more you eat earlier, the better. "Do not wait three hours or the time to get to work. Eat out of bed. "Advises Dr. Walji.
2. Drinking water
In general, the majority of us do not drink enough water during the day. Water contains no calories and is the basis of good health and may even give you a feeling of fullness when you are hungry. Even better, if you drink water instead of other beverages, you probably replace hundreds of calories that hide in juices, soft drinks, specialty coffees and alcohol: a cup of orange juice contains 120 calories and an iced cappuccino has more than 200. Take a glass of water with each meal and each snack.
3. Opt for whole grains
When choosing your food, choose whole grains and low-sugar products instead of products made from white flour and refined sugar. Not only will he fewer calories to reach satiety (a slice of whole wheat bread and a tablespoon of light cream cheese contains 120 calories, a jelly donut contains 300), but give you more nutrients to your body while preventing the risk of heart disease and other health problems.
4. Move only 10 more minutes
Only a superhero can turn a sedentary an active person who trains an hour a day at the gym. But simply adding 10 minutes of exercise to your day is the first step towards weight reduction and risk reduction of all kinds for health. Exercise also has a positive effect on metabolism. But do not forget that you will not lose any weight program if you use these new moments of activity as an excuse to eat another donut chocolate. "Many people overestimate the amount of weight they can lose by exercising and to compensate, they begin to eat more," says Dr. Walji.
5. Reflect on their motivations
Take the time to write down the reasons why you want to lose weight, and do not put your spouse because you reproached or because your doctor advises. Do you want more energy, entering a narrow jeans, reduce the risk of diabetes? When you are about to succumb to the temptation to open a bag of chips or miss your Pilates, use your list of goals to motivate you. Talk to friends who understand and practice with partners who share your motivations.
6. Enjoy the moment
The beginning of the year is the perfect time to make resolutions, but soon come new priorities take place. What often happens is that we decided to postpone its program of weight reduction, until things settle. "Many people expect to have completed a stressful project at work or home from vacation. Start now by telling you that this is the best time to do so. If your goals are clear and you have a program, the best time to get started is now. "Says Dr. Walji.
good luck to all!
