The reason we are the most overweight country in the world is because things have become too easy. It is not just about looking better it is also about staying fit and remaining healthy to ensure a long, disease free life.
The best way to lose weight is to eat less (and better foods) and move more to burn calories.
1. Drink half your bodyweight in ounces every day to flush out fat and toxins. It will also make you feel fuller so you eat less and therefore less calories to burn off
2. One of the worst culprits for hidden calories is soda. The massive amounts of sugar in them creates many calories that you will now need to burn off, while providing no nutritional benefit.
3. 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.
4. Include in your diet things that are water rich like tomatoes and watermelons. These things contain 90 to 95 % water so that there is nothing that you have to lose after eating them. They fill you up without adding to the pounds.
6. Processed or canned fruits has more sugar and less fiber than fresh fruit. Sugar means calories and your body needs fiber.
6. The body needs lots of fiber so include as much of it from various vegetables, fruits and whole grain.
7. Watch what you eat. Keep a watchful eye on every thing that goes in. Sometimes the garnishes can be richer than the food itself.
8. Do not fall for snacks in between meals. The main problem with most snacks and junk food is that they are usually less filling and contain a lot of fat and calories. French fries are tempting but very fattening.
9. Eat your veggies. Vegetables are your best bet when it comes to losing pounds. There are lots of choices in vegetables. And the leafy green vegetables are your best bet. Try to include a salad in your diet always.
10. Be smart about what you eat and how often you eat. Do not eat just to eat. Eat smaller meals 5- 7 times a day to speed up you metabolic rate so you are able to burn more calories
