Did you know that cutting calories by just 20% can have a significant
impact on your waistline and overall health? Eating smaller portions,
sharing a meal, and not cleaning your plate are sure-fire ways to follow
this waist-whittling tip.
Eat breakfast
This is truly the most important meal of the day. People who want to lose
weight are more successful if they start the day with a meal. People who
eat breakfast actually consume fewer calories throughout the day than those
who skip it. So remember to fuel-up in the morning.
Get enough sleep
Prevent cravings for starchy and diet-destroying foods by getting enough
sleep. Sleep deprivation can actually reduce the production of
appetite-suppressing hormones, creating a feeling of hunger and
stimulating cravings for starchy and carb-rich foods.
Eat more protein
Here's to the power of protein. If you want to melt away the pounds, be
sure to consume protein with each snack and meal. Consuming foods with
high amounts of protein help us to feel fuller longer as well as build
lean fat-burning muscle.
Reduce Carbs
Too much of a good thing can lead to weight gain. Switching from refined
carb products like pasta and bread, to whole grain alternatives such as
buckwheat and barley is a tasty and healthy step to losing weight.
Cleanse the body of impurities
Toxins and impurities that build up in the body due to foods and the
environment prohibit our systems from functioning properly. Purging
these pollutants from our system will yield optimal function and
optimal weight loss.
Exercise daily
As always it is important to strengthen and keep the body young and
healthy with daily exercise. Moderate to intense activity 3-4 times
a week is recommended to stay healthy and fit and in the best
shape possible.
