April 15, 2009 by admin
Most of you have tried diets and have failed for one reason or another. Most people try to follow fad diets that work at first, but then the results slowly fade away and you are back to your old eating habits. Well, here are a couple of changes you can make to your everyday life, that will not only help you reach your goals, but will help you continue to maintain that goal you have reached. You don’t have to make drastic changes or drastically restrict the amount of food you eat. By following these simple tips, I am sure you will start down the right path to a healthier you.
1. Eat less calories and burn more fuel!
You have to create a calorie or energy deficiency to stimulate the body to burn off body fat.
That means eating less and burning more, either by eating less fats, carbs, or a combo of the two.
2. 3500 calories = 1 pound of body fat!
To lose 1 pound of body fat you have to burn off an extra 3500 calories.
Do this over a course of a week. 3500 divided by 7 = 500. So try to take in about 500 less calories per day.
If you exercise, then your caloric intake may not be so drastically reduced because of the extra calories you are burning through exercise.
3. Take in more protein while dieting
Cut calories from carbs and fats, while keeping or upping your protien intake.
This will cause your body to supply protien to your muscles while exercises on a diet and more importantly will cause you to feel fuller at meals.
4. Disrupt your diet habits
Over time your body adapts to your schedules and daily rituals.
When your diet stops working or the results have slowed down, don’t abandoned your diet.
Instead vary your habits.
Come of your diet and eat within reason on foods you don’t typically eat on your diet.
This switch will ramp up your hormones that tend to plummit when dieting, then after a day or two go back on your diet and fat burning will continue.
5. Eat plenty of fiber
Fiber will help you feel fuller between meals and help strafe off any hunger pains.
Also, high fiber carbs (oatmeal, whole grained bread, beans, brown rice) help to slow down digestion and cause the body to work harder to digest food.
More work = more calories burned. When more calories are burned less calories are stored as body fat.
