We’ve had a reader question come in on the subject of diet tips. Let’s take a look:
Calories Consumed must be less than or equal to Calories Burned
Now I am not a huge health nut, but I learned a couple of simple tricks to lower the amount of daily calories consumed. One, remove all sodas from your diet. This also includes diet sodas as well, because aspartame (sweet-and-low) can cause your body to retain water. Substitute sodas for low or no calorie fruit juices, or of course water being the best.
Second, do not eat a full breakfast. When you wake up, eat a nice Washington apple. It will give you just enough energy to make till lunch, which can be whatever you want.
Third, use a small plate, and only one plate for dinner. Also, make sure you eat dinner at about 6pm so that your food is nearly digested before you sleep.
Finally, the best advise is cut out fast food and junk food as much as possible.
When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It’s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).
