Eating Better: How To Start Having A Healthy Eating Habit

January 29, 2013 by Carol

One of the reasons why most people end up being obese or overweight, is because they lose control over their appetite or diet. That is the number reason why people gain so much weight is because they have consumed too much food more than what their body only needs. The principle is very easy, if your body is used to taking so much food and your stomach is always full, then your body will always look for food. But if your stomach is used to a small amount of food only, your body will be satisfied with the amount that you intake. We are the ones who teach our body about our eating habit. If we are used to eating without control then don’t expect that you will have that skinny body that you dream of, of course you will gain weight every day. If you have bad eating habits, now is the time to start eating better. Change your eating habit. This may require sacrifices and lots of efforts but everything will pay off ones you have seen the results.

Keep Food Journal

Try to keep a food journal. Try to record the food that you eat every day and see how you progress. Keeping food journal can motivate you to do better because you see the type of food that you eat. You can eliminate and incorporate foods that you think could help you start eating better.

Turn Negative Into Positive

You might be wondering how you can turn negative into positive. What I mean with this is looking at the negative aspect as positive like for example, if you are overweight, you see that are negative aspect, right?, but you can simply motivate yourself by your weight, try to include in your journal your weight and on the other side, put your goal or desired weight. Then keep a record every week or every month and see how you progress. You can simply tell yourself that you can achieve it and will never go back to that same weight again. One way to naturally turn a negative like your strong appetite into a positive would be to add Garcinia cambogia into your diet, to help improve your mood.

Stay Away From Sweet Food

This is the most challenging part of starting a healthy eating habit especially with girls. Sample of sweets are chocolates, ice cream, cakes, candies, cookies, and etc. these are all delicious sweet food that if you lose control of it, you will end up overweight. Of course you can’t stop this right away, but you can gradually decrease the amount every day until you only consume what your body needs.

Cook Your Own Food

In addition, try cooking your own food. This can really help you start eating better.

How can I work out every day? Many people are struggling to find time to exercise on a daily basis especially those busy people. Working out every day is actually not an issue. All you need to find is TIME. If you have time then you can work out. Sometimes we have extra time but we prefer to spend it on something else like watching TV, playing our video games, spending it surfing the internet, or sleeping. I don’t believe when people say that they don’t have time to work out especially on a daily basis. It’s a matter of desire and self-discipline. If you have desire to workout then you can do it any time of the day. We just need to take the word “Laziness” out of our vocabulary. Yes, you may say that you are too busy and tired from work but if you want to work out and get fit, you need to go an extra mile.

Include It In Your Daily Schedule

In your daily planner, try to sink in your workout schedule. It could be in the morning, afternoon, evening or whatever time will be convenient for you. If your workout time is included in your daily plans, it will become part of your system. Just like brushing your teeth. No matter how busy you are you will always have time to brush your teeth, right? It’s easier to do something that is in your daily schedule than to simply tell yourself to workout. This is just a matter of time management. Try to eliminate other habits that you have and replace it with workout. I think that will work.

Make It A Habit

They say that it takes 19 days to form a habit. So, if you want to develop a new habit like working out every day, try doing it within 19 days every day and you will be surprise that it has become part of your system. They say that once habit is formed, it’s hard to take it away. Once working out has become your habit, you will always find time and will have time to do it no matter what it takes.

Try A 15-Minute Workout

You know what all you need is 15 minutes every day to do a short and effective workout. Try to do your research about 15 minute workouts and you will see and realize how intense they are. How this 15 minute workout have change other people’s lives.

Weight Loss Through Eating: Is It Possible

January 20, 2013 by Carol

They say that you don’t only lose weight by simply reducing the amount of food that you eat but also through eating. How can that be possible since eating is the number one cause why people gain weight? Actually, this is true. Weight loss through eating is basically an individual knowing the food that they eat and make sure that they are healthy. This is very interesting because other health experts will advice to eliminate food from your diet but this one encourages us to eat to lose weight. If you carefully study the weight loss with proper diet, you will notice that one of the steps to lose weight is to eat. When we are on a diet, normally we limit our body from consuming food which sometimes we feel that we are being deprived from eating the food that we eat. Our body is also smart that it also recognizes that problem. If your body feels deprived from food, it will hold the process of burning. No matter how you hard you go on a diet and workout, you will notice that you are not losing much weight because your body is holding it. This is actually a defense mechanism of the body to protect itself from danger.

Losing too much weight will sends an alarm to the body system and it will stop it and that stage we call the plateau stage. This is the stage where you don’t feel any progression like losing more weight. That’s why you need to tell your body that food is still available. That’s why you also need to eat to continually lose weight. But the difference is the food that you eat is now healthy, foods that are low in calories, carbohydrates, and fats, that’s why eating can actually help you lose weight.

If you are only eating food that contains the nutrition that your body needs, there will be no excess calories, carbohydrates, and fats that will be stored in your body. Your body can then burn those stubborn fats in your body and that will help you lose more weight. Once you have achieved the weight and size that you desire, it’s very easy to maintain as long as you also monitor your food intake. You can eat the food that you want as long as it doesn’t happen on a regular basis, like treating yourself on weekends, that won’t hurt you.
