101 “Everyday” Tips For Losing 10 Pounds
1.Drink plenty of water. Our body needs a lot of water so give in to water.
Water is not just way to flush out toxin but if you have more water in your
body you will generally feel healthier and fitter. This it self will discourage
any tendency to gorge. The best thing about water is that is has no calories
at all.
2.Start your day with a glass of water. As soon as you wake up, gulp down a
glass of cool water. It’s a wonderful way to start you day and you only need
a lesser quantity of your breakfast drink after that. A glass of water lets out
all your digestive juices and sort of lubricates the insides of your body. You
may have your morning cup of tea but have it after a glass of water. It is
good for you.
3.Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some
space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.
4.Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again this is
another way of making yourself full so that you can actually rise from the
table eating less but feeling full just the same. Instead of drinking it one
gulp, take sips after each morsel. It will help the food to settle faster so that
you get that feeling that you are full faster.
SIDENOTE: Water is such a remarkable thing, but seldom do we
give it the credit that it deserves. Did you know that over
66% of your body weight is nothing but water? It’s amazing!
Water also plays a vital role in weight control, which is why
I donated so much space to it, above.
5.Stay away from sweetened bottle drinks, especially sodas. Hey all those colas
and fizzy drinks are sweetened with sugar and sugar means calories. The
more you can cut out on these sweetened bottle drinks, the better for you.
So if you must drink sodas, then stick to diet sodas.
6.Include in your diet things that contain more water like tomatoes and
watermelons. These things contain 90 to 95 % water so that there is nothing
that you have to lose by feasting on them. They fill you up without adding to
the pounds.
7.Eat fresh fruit instead of drinking fruit juice. Juice is often sweetened but
fresh fruits have natural sugars. When you eat fruit, you are taking in a lot of
fiber, which is needed by the body, and fruits of course are an excellent
source of vitamins.
8.If you do have a craving for fruit juice then go for fresh fruit juice instead of
these that contain artificial flavors and colors. Or even better, try making
your own fruit juice taking care not to sweeten it with too many calories.
9.Choose fresh fruit to processed fruits. Processed and canned fruits do not
have as much fiber as fresh fruit and processed and canned fruits are nearly
always sweetened.
10.Increase your fiber intake. Like I mentioned, the body needs a lot of fiber. So
try to include in your diet as many fruits and vegetables as you can.
11.Go crazy on vegetables. Vegetables are your best bet when it comes to losing
pounds. Nature has a terrific spread when it comes to choosing vegetables.
And the leafy green vegetables are your best bet. Try to include a salad in
you diet always.
12.Eat intelligently. The difference between man and beast is that we are driven
by intelligence while beasts are driven by instinct. Don’t just eat something
because you feel like eating it. Ask your self whether your body really needs
it.
13.Watch what you eat. Keep a watchful eye on every thing that goes in.
Sometimes the garnishes can richer than the food itself. Accompaniments too
can be very rich. Remember that it is the easiest thing in the world to eat
something without realizing that it was something that you should not have
eaten. Selective memory you know…
14.Control that sweet tooth. Remember that sweet things generally mean more
calories. It is natural that we have cravings for sweet things especially
chocolates and other confectionary. Go easy on theses things and each time
you consume something sweet understand that it is going to add on
somewhere.
15.Fix times to have meals and stick to it. Try to have food at fixed times of the
day. You can stretch these times by half an hour, but anything more than
that is going to affect your eating pattern, the result will either be a loss of
appetite or that famished feeling which will make you stuff yourself with
more than what is required the next time you eat.
16.Eat only when you are hungry. Some of us have the tendency to eat
whenever we see food. We use parties as an excuse to stuff our selves.
Understand that the effect of a whole week of dieting can be wasted by just
one day’s party food. Whenever you are offered something to eat do not
decline it completely bit just break of a nibble so that you appear to mind
your manners and at the same time can watch your diet.
17.Quit snacking in between meals. Do not fall for snacks in between meals.
This is especially true for those who have to travel a lot. They feel that the
only time they can get a bite to eat is snacks and junk food. The main
problem with most snacks and junk food is that they are usually less filling
and contain a lot of fat and calories. Just think about French fries…tempting
but terribly fattening.
18.Snack on vegetables if you must. You might get the pangs of hunger in
between meals. It is something that you can very well control. Or even
better, try munching on carrots. They are an excellent way to satisfy those
hungry pangs and are good for your eyes and teeth. True, you might end up
being called Bugs Bunny, but its miles better to be called Bugs Bunny than
fatso.
19.Go easy on tea and coffee. Tea and coffee are harmless by themselves. It’s
when you add the cream and sugar that they become fattening. Did you
know that having a cup of tea or coffee that has cream and at least two
cubes of sugar is as bad as having a big piece of rich chocolate cake?
20.Try to stick to black tea/coffee. Black tea or coffee can actually be good for
you. But personally I would like to recommend tea rather than coffee. The
caffeine in the coffee is not really good for you because it is an alkaloid and
can affect other functions of your body like the metabolism.
21.Count the calories as you eat. It’s a good idea to have an idea of the calories
that most food items have. If it is a packed thing then the label is sure to
have the calories that the substance has.
22.Be sure to burn out those extra calories by the end of the week. If you feel
that you have consumed more calories than you should have during the
week, it happens you know, and then make sure that you work off those
extra calories by the end of the week.
23.Stay away from fried things. Fried things are an absolute no-no. The more
fried things that you avoid, the lesser weight you will gain. Fried things are
called so because they are fried in oil or fat. And even if the external oil is
drained away, there is still a lot of hidden oil in it so stay away from it.
24.Do not skip meals. The worst thing you can do while watching you diet is skip
a meal. It has just the opposite effect of what you want. You need to have at
least four regular meals every day.
25.Fresh vegetables are better than cooked or canned vegetables. Try to eat
your vegetables raw. When you cook them, you are in fact taking away
nearly half the vitamins in them. And canned vegetables too are processed
and are not nearly half as good as fresh vegetables. When you buy your
vegetables it would be a good thing to see if the label says that it is pesticide
free.
