Heavy but hungry? You aren't alone. One out of every 4 Americans are on some sort
of diet. Yet, over 90% of the people who lose weight by dieting, gain it back
again. Why can't people get rid of weight, and keep it off? Can
"starvation" diets help? Attempting Rapid Weight Loss Without
Hunger, can you actually eat good and still lose weight?
Facts, Tips, and Myths
about losing weight rapidly - and keeping it off
As for weight loss,
weight - even considerable weight, may be lost on a starvation diet. Your body
is like a furnace; your brain could be likened to the thermostat. When we eat,
our metabolism burns the food, then releases it in the form of energy. So when
more fuel (food) is taken in than the body needs, it is simply stored - as fat.
Now...if you starve
yourself to lose weight, you will - initially. Perhaps then as a defense
mechanism, your body goes into a "crisis mode". Your thermostat is
turned down, thus your metabolism slows, resulting in weight gain again. Much
of what you eat is then stored as fat. So begins the "revolving
door". You try another diet. The more you lose , the more you gain.
Starvation diets are not the answer for weight reduction.
What about taking
weight-loss pills?
Weight loss pills. The primary function of weight loss pills is to curb your
appetite, and may work for awhile. But the body adjusts quickly, and the
appetite returns. So does the vicious weight gain cycle. Both weight loss pills
and pills to eliminate water can have side effects: dizziness, high blood
pressure, addiction, and even anxiety attacks. "There is no such thing as
a safe, effective pill to cause you to lose body fat" (Dr. Lawrence Lamb)
Weight loss pills are not the answer. And why take them, when you can actually
enjoy Rapid Weight Loss Without Hunger? You can slim your
body way down and still eat good. How does a person "eat and lose
weight"? Consider and implement some tested & proven...
Effective tactics and
strategies for safe weight reduction
Where do we turn then,
for rapid weight loss without hunger? Begin with a thorough checkup with your
family physician. Find out if you have any health problems that might only
defeat a simple diet plan. Be realistic, set a reasonable weight loss goal.
Implement an achievable strategy, in a reasonable time frame. Don't try to
over-achieve.
Should you go hungry? It's no secret that I enjoy food, I'll bet
you do too. It is a primary joy in our lives, to largely eliminate that joy
would be counter-productive, and perhaps create other problems for us. Besides,
it will not work - not in the long run. Overeating, on the other hand, may be
what we need to focus on. Let's consider some simple tips on moderate eating
habits and burning those calories, reducing the fat.
Weight loss tips and
tricks that will leave you satisfied
Eat slowly. These days, most of us are in "high gear" so much of
the time, we often eat too fast. Remember this: It takes the brain about 20
minutes to receive the signal from our stomach that it is full. Eat too fast
and you may be eating too much. You're full already, but your stomach's message
to the brain didn't get there on time. Slow down when you eat. Chew each bite
real good, take a little time in between each bite.
One large glass of
water. Drink a large glass
of water before you eat. This fills your stomach and may help reduce body-fat
deposits. Doctors recommend drinking at least eight glasses of water every day.
You'll feel satisfied like you've eaten as much as usual, but you've actually
cut down on your calorie intake. Plus, your food is better assimilated.
Don't watch TV while
you eat. Why? Dr. Seymour
Isenburg says "If you are busy watching TV..., you [can] begin eating like
a machine." I never gave that any thought before, myself. However,
examining my own eating habits, I found it to be true in my case. So turn off
the TV, enjoy some quiet conversation, or relaxing music. Enjoy your meal.
Don't beat yourself up about eating. You are taking an important step to
achieve Rapid Weight Loss
Without Hunger.
Do you skip breakfast?
Well - Don't! Enjoy at least a
moderate breakfast. You want to be thinner...so you skip a meal or two. Maybe
it's breakfast. Your brain will only tell your body later that you have
deprived it, and that you are really hungry now. You'll tend to load on the
food, thus the calories later in your day. This is only counter-productive.
Explore healthy
alternatives to eating. Do you find yourself often just eating out of
habit? I know that I do. When you catch yourself about to eat just for the sake
of eating, Go for a walk...or get some other exercise. Do you have a hobby you
enjoy? Go work on it. Talk to someone you trust. Maybe go do something active
with them. Replace the avtivity of reaching for food with other stimulating
activities.
What you eat. Not an easy one, but avoid fatty foods. Just makes sense,
doesn't it? Cheeseburgers, foods fried in fat. You won't get good nutrition
from sugary drinks and pastries, what you will get is a lot of calories. Also,
a lot of salt on your (even lean) beef, will cause your body to retain water.
Develop your taste for
healthy foods. Let's face it, most
of us really like them anyway. I'm talking about fruit, nuts, whole grains, and
vegetables. As part of our daily routine. There's a tremendous variety in these
foods, enjoy that variety so you don't get bored, and maybe go back to the
cheeseburger routine. Most dietitians will tell you there's nothing wrong with
enjoying your favorite foods once in a while. The key here, as in so many
things, is moderation.
Engage your thermostat. Aerobic exercise for about 20 minutes a day, and at least three
times a week, will "turn up" your body's thermostat and burn
calories. Brisk walking, if you're able, even stair climbing is good exercise.
No matter what our body weight or body type - exercise makes us look leaner and
trimmer. It changes our body chemistry and increases muscular mass. Something I
learned in this research is that muscles burn calories even while we're
sleeping! What a plus!
Persistence and
determination. There are no
substitutes for these qualities. But the rewards can be great. You'll look and
feel better, and be able to do more physically, even mentally. You'll be
determined to have Rapid Weight Loss
Without Hunger
