Healthy weight loss tips

Ok, so you feel a little (or a lot) overweight and you would like to get back into shape and feel better. No doubt you put on those extra pounds slowly over time so don't expect to get rid of them overnight either.

You may know how you put on those extra pounds? Right?

Most people (but not all) will put on extra weight due to the following factors;

1. Eating on a regular basis fast foods, high in oil and sugar. Foods cooked in oil, like 'fish and chips' or simply cooking most meals with lots of oil. The oil gets soaked up into the food and is comparable to drinking a glass of oil.
2. Drinking lots of milk or flavored dairy milk products.
3. Not doing any regular exercise.

It's a combination of doing all the above three things that will load on those extra unwanted pounds.

What is the solution? REVERSE the above three points and you will be well on your way to healthy weight loss.

1. Eat foods that are not cooked with a large amount of oil. Use a little bit of the good variety of oil when cooking. ie olive oil. Eat lots of vegetables and salads in addition to your main meal. If the vegetables taste too bland, after steaming pour some unprocessed honey over them. Also, learn to cook with herbs and spices. Some great tasting sauces can be made with herbs and spices that will liven up the meal dramatically. Take a look at the benefits of cooking with herbs. Health Benefits of Herbs

2. Instead of drinking milk switch to rice milk or drink more water or even better yet, start juicing fruit and vegetables.
3. Find a fun physical activity or sport that you will enjoy doing. Make yourself take part in it. Yes FORCE yourself to start and keep doing this good habit. Something as simple as walking along the beach or bush or riding a bike will make you feel good and have you asking yourself why you did not start earlier. Just remember if you are carrying a lot of extra weight, increase your exercise SLOWLY. Do not overdo it to begin with as your body needs time to get back into shape.

Reduce your sugar cravings

If you find that your weight gain problem is caused by other factors such as medications that increase your craving for sweet foods, purchasing a dietary supplement of chromium may prove helpful.

The highest chromium content foods are as follows;
(micrograms per 100 grams of food)
Egg yolk 183, Brewer's yeast 112, Beef 57, Cheese 56, Liver 55, Wine 45, Bread 42.

The herb Stevia has also been shown to reduce craving for sweet and fatty foods. About Stevia.

• emphasizes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products;
• includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts;
• is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars; and
• stays within your daily calorie needs.
