Weight loss is a combination of good nutrition, calorie reduction, and exercising.
Reducing your caloric intake by 3500 calories = 1 pound weight loss
Formula for Success
1. Small Frequent Meals
Don’t skip meals or go more than four hours without eating this set you up for later temptation. When meals are more than six hours apart, plan strategic snacks.
2. Eat Moderate Portions
Eat a little less of everything!
3. Beware of Concentrated Sugars
Excess sugar eaten alone causes more insulin secretion. Insulin promotes fat storage and can result in a rebound drop in blood sugar levels. Low blood sugar, in return, stimulates the appetite, especially cravings for more sugar.
4. Eat Foods High in Fiber
Fiber fills you up and helps stabilize blood sugar levels. There are two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. We need both of them in our diet!
5. Lower Your Fat Intake
Limit foods that are high in fat.
6 . Consume Caffeine in Moderation, If at All
Caffeine, like alcohol, may be contained in beverages considered to be food but the effects of this chemical are definitely drug-like.
7. Exercise at least 3 times a week. Walk, walk, walk, or Run!!! Drink Plenty of water.
