Losing Weight - Once and For All
Every one of us has some concern about our weight - scientists confirm that most of us average a weight gain of at least a pound a year after age 30 as part of the normal aging process . But there are ways to fight back - here are the 10 best ways to lose weight , confirmed by scientists . And , surprisingly , none of these suggestions seem particularly painful . How many will you follow ?
1 ) Drink more water , especially before meals . Try to drink 10 eight ounce glasses of water every day - and when you feel hungry for no particular reason , make water your choice to stop your craving .
2 ) Eat more greens . These foods fill you up quickly and reduce your waistline . Science proves that your overwhelming desire for junk food is actually a need for nutrition - green veggies fill the bill .
3 ) Drink green juices - and green smoothies . They help you feel full , even when you ' re not .
4 ) Stop adding sugar . The more you focus on green foods and increased water consumption , the quicker your taste buds will change . Suddenly , eating an orange or apple will seem like you just bit into a Krispy Kreme . Trust us on this ....
5 ) Drink green tea . The antioxidants can help you lose weight .
6 ) Choose less refined carbs . Want to see a quick change in your belt size ? Lose the bread , pasta , and grains . Stay off them for at least four weeks , and watch the pounds come off .
7 ) Make aerobic exercise and weight training part of your daily activity . You don ' t have to train for a marathon or start flexing with 50 pound barbells . Anything you do that is more than you do now will lead to change .
8 ) Chew your food . Slowly . Taste what you ' re eating - you will enjoy it more ! 9 ) Sleep . Lack of rest is the top cause of obesity and illness .
10 ) Don ' t go on a " diet " - instead , change the way you eat . Healthy eating makes the biggest difference of all - and if you commit to the bulk of these suggestions , you will have made the switch ! If you can perservere through the first few weeks , it will get easier to implement these healthier eating habits into your lifestyle . Your improved wellness will be an added incentive , over and above the weight loss you ' ll experience !
