8 Tips to Take Control of Your Weight

Anyone who is overweight will testify that losing weight is not as easy as it seems. The people that are lean, or have gone from fat to skinny will say it’s just a matter of motivation and elbow grease. Although it is not as simple as that. Our environments have waged war on us. Their weapons are sedentary lives and Trans fats of mass destruction. All is not lost though, here are some quick simple tips to get ahead! 1. Substitute Water  Our bodies are about 65-70% water. It follows that water would be not only essential, but the best possibly choice of liquids to ingest. In fact, our bodies will sometimes simulate a hunger response, when in reality the body is craving hydration. When hungry, drink a glass or two of water to check if it suppresses your hunger.  2. Chew Your Food Chewing our food very slowly and deliberately has several benefits that are often overlooked. It gives us the ability to relax, and enjoy our meal. Slow chewing is the first, and highly important, step in a complex system of digestion. Besides, if we eat slowly, we might feel full before finishing the whole meal, and can leave the rest for the next meal.  3. Exercise daily How silly of me to include something as obvious as exercise. I did a 30 day trial with waking up, and walking for 30 minutes first thing in the morning. My journal records that I was feeling amazing during the period of time that I was following this habit.  4. Publicize your intentions Start a blog, join a forum, and have other people keep you accountable to help. Tell other people your plan, it would help you get the motivation to go with it!  5. Create a food schedule Plan your day so that you’re eating at approximately the same time each day. This scheduling will incorporate itself into your circadian rhythm, and aid in digestion.  6. Do not over eat Know your limit and stop eating when you are full. I have often been a victim of wanting to finish a meal so that it doesn’t go to waste. This has left me with many a stomach ache. Next time, doggy bag it for later, and don’t hurt yourself!  7.Choose your snacks wisely Put down the Lays® and cheese puffs. Pick up the apple and baby carrots. Make the right decision, I know you can do it.  8.Lifestyle.  Remember, it’s not about special diets, or special exercise programs. The real secret is in turning your health into a lifestyle, and focusing on this healthy lifestyle with every choice you make. i'm posting this coz this is the thing that i really want to do since years ago... but failed of course... hahaha the only thing i always do from this list is no. 1... it's not that i want to be annoyingly thin... just need to lose some(a lot of actually) weight take note of no. 4... can all my reader friends give me some motivation??? ideas?? experience??? tq in advance~~

update pagi buta

assalamualaikum n hye everyone...

actually jap lg dh nk tido dgn hrpn esk boleh bgn awl...

huhu

tp tetibe terase nk update blog kesygn ni jap...

minggu ni dpt puasa 1 hari je...

alasannye adalah sbb minggu ni amost everyday tido lmbt...

so x terbgn nk bersahur(sbnrnye minum air je)...

tp minum air tu kira essential la for me...

sbb xleh hidup la xde air ni...

hehe

so kesimpulannye dpt puasa ari isnin je...

tp minggu dpn akan berusaha lbih kuat utk puasa 2 atau 3 ari...

klu ikut plan berjimat tu jln la sket...

sbb even x puasa tp mkn sekali sehari jgak...

byk duduk dlm bilik je...

bile dh dlm bilik rajin la sgt nk turun g kafe tu semata nk bli mknn...

ye...mmg sy pemalas bab mkn tp bile mknn ade dpn mata sy akan mkn x igt dunia...

hehe

sbb tu impian nk kurus tu simpan je la dl buat mase skrg ni ha...;-P

start minggu ni jgak la right wing DM4 ni ditutup supply airnye...

MasyaAllah...dugaan yg amat mencabar...

dgn cuaca yg sgt2 sejuk skrg ni...

(tp kurang sket la dr mase g ireland dl)

everytime nk g toilet kena menapak ke wing satu lg...

bkn setakat nk mandi, basuh bj, lepas hajat...

nk basuh tgn lpas mkn pun kne jln lbih kurang 5min g toilet br dpt basuh tgn...

tp takpe la...

mama kate tu dugaan...

harap2 org2 yg btolkn tangki tu bleh buat keje dgn cepat n bkak balik water supply ktorg...

InsyaAllah~~
