Losing weight is easy with these key tricks
One of the most frequently made New Year’s resolutions is to lose weight and with these simple tricks, it is possible to achieve that goal without starving yourself
IN MOST cases, fighting against excess weight remains a vicious circle. As I always say, the first and most important reason for failing to lose weight is starting a diet. However, it is hard to get up and start a diet at once since healthy eating awareness must be embraced as a lifestyle. Someone who eats healthily will not experience any excess weight problems. So, here are some tips that will help you achieve healthy weight loss in the new year.
NEVER SKIP BREAKFAST
Those who do not consult a professional or can’t figure out what they should do generally tend to skip breakfast. However, having breakfast every morning must be an essential part of your lifestyle. A person who skips breakfast makes the second mistake by eating more than required at lunch. Starting the day with breakfast will make you and your metabolism start working at the same time. The stomach goes empty within four hours no matter what is eaten. Therefore, snacks consumed between main meals are important. When you keep the period between meals less than four hours, you can feel full by eating less since your stomach will never get completely empty.
WATER TEMPERATURE MATTERS
If you stop losing weight despite following all the advice, you are probably drinking water at ambient temperatures. German scientists who studied on the difference between drinking cold water and water at ambient temperatures came up with an interesting result. According to their study, drinking cold water speeds up metabolism more than drinking water at ambient temperatures. The research also found that drinking 10 cups of cold water a day can raise resting metabolism by about 50 calories daily.
WALKING IS A MUST
A variety of research conducted on the subject revealed that running 1.6 km (around 1 mile) in 10 minutes makes the body burn 566 to 839 calories in an hour. Another research result indicates that a person who runs around at this pace keeps burning calories for the rest of the day (unless they eat a slice of cake et cetera, of course). If you want to keep burning calories after your workout, apply the onehalf rule. In other words, you should walk for half of the time you spend on running and complete your daily exercise.
WATCH OUT FOR SNACKS
Try to stay away from highcalorie snacks and be aware of what you are eating. Nuts and dried fruits are among the most preferred snacks. For example, 100 grams of sunflower seed has an average 600 calories. If you want to keep away from such calorie rich food, you can make a list of the harmless snacks you like and buy only them.
