10 tips to weight loss

Weight Loss Tip Stretch your meals out. Don’t eat too fast. Your
stomach, mouth and brain are all connected and it takes twenty
minutes of chewing before your stomach signals your brain that
you are full. To feel full and successfully lose weight on any
weight loss program, you need to eat slowly for twenty minutes
or longer. Weight Loss Tip Drinking eight glasses of water a day
is important to your health, your normal diet and will help lose
weight. Water is necessary for the metabolism of your stored
fat. Weight loss cannot occur without an active metabolism which
requires large quantities of water. Weight Loss Tip The more
positive your self-esteem, the better you feel about yourself,
the faster and easier it will be for you to lose weight. When
you are self-confident, you are better able to take charge of
your life. Weight Loss Tip If you go on a fat free or low fat
diet, you also cut out much of the taste of the foods you eat.
Add the flavor back with herbs and spices. Strong flavors such
as vinegar, garlic, chili powder, cayenne, curry powder,
rosemary and tarragon can be used to doctor up any food you are
eating. Weight Loss Tip Increase your metabolism by as much as
forty percent by using hot and spicey foods. Research has been
done that shows spicey foods can increase your metabolism. For
double duty, give up fat filled mayonnaise for mustard and add
hot peppers to your food for greater flavor and increased
metabolism. Weight Loss Tip Negative emotions will also
interfere with your weight loss program. It’s difficult to stay
motivated to lose weight when you feel bad. Overeating often
accompanies negative emotions such as depression, anxiety, fear,
guilt and anger. Try to keep a positive attitude throughout your
life. Weight Loss Tip To lose weight faster, reduce your intake
of caffeine. Caffeine leads to an increase of insulin in your
body which retards the burning of your stored fat.This is a
simple chemical reaction in your body that you can change.
Reduce your caffeine intake by 50% and see what happens. Weight
Loss Tip Incease your intake of fiber rich foods. They will help
fill you up faster and will help all the food you eat pass
through your digestive system more easily. Weight Loss Tip
Exercise is probably the most important key to increasing your
metabolism and burning off excess fat. Research shows that you
burn more stored fat for energy when you do aerobic exercises on
an empty stomach than on a full stomach. Research also shows
that you burn more stored fat when you exercise late in the day
rather than in the morning. Put it all together, and the best
time to exercise to lose body fat is in the late afternoon/early
evening after dinner. Second best is in the morning before
breakfast. Weight Loss Tip Never skip a meal. Your first meal
after waking starts your metabolism. Your metabolism then speeds
up for about eight hours and then starts slowing down until you
go to sleep when it goes to low until you wake and eat and start
the cycle again. If you skip breakfast, your metabolism doesn’t
get started until lunch time. You’ve just missed three or four
hours of fat burning time. When you skip meals during the day,
your metabolism also slows down. Weight loss through the burning
of stored fat is all about eating enough of the right kinds of
foods so you stay full and your metabolism stays as high as
possible. Try to eat five to six small meals throughout the day.
