Help! How do I lose weight effectively?

                Nowadays, having abs is the trend. Everyone – especially young teens like posting photos of themselves on facebook – Looking good! They post photos in bikinis, guys in trousers half naked having their upper body flashing in the camera lights.

                They bask in the dim light so that girls looking at them with glowing eyes of admiration. Imagine! That’s the type of body that social media has carved into our minds – Mr and Mrs Smith!

                Anyway, before I run off topic, I would like to highlight today’s session is not about looking good, but losing weight effectively so that we look good, feel good and feel more confident.There is the part of the health issue there as well.

                First, cut back sugar and starches. Starchy foods and glucose foods stimulate secretion of insulin. Insulin stores the most fat in the body. You need to lower down your insulin on your body start burning fatty cells instead of carbohydrates. Lowering insulin is that it reduces water retention.

Lower your calories, your carbs and you will shed up to 10 pounds in the first week of your diet plan. You will lose weight damn fast.

                Next, eat protein, fat and vegetables. Protein would be meat, beef, chicken, salmon and eggs. You must be eat plenty of protein as it boosts your metabolism. Furthermore, eat low-carb vegetables. Such as broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, kale, Brussels sprouts etc. Load up. Eat those low-carb vegetables everyday without going over your calorie diet every day.

                Eat 3 times a day. If you find yourself having a rumbling tummy during noon, add a 5^th meal.

Don’t be worried of eating fat. Just eat good fat. Don’t do both low-carb and low-fat diet at one go. Saturated fat are good for your heart.

                Furthermore, hit the gym. Try weight-lifting three times a week. Try to warm up first. Next, lift weights. Ask a trainer if possible. You burn calories and prevent your metabolism from slowing down. If you don’t lift weights, try cardio workouts like running, jogging, swimming or walking. You can also download a calorie calculator onto your phone. These apps are free and are available on both Android and Apple.

                Moreover, drink water half an hour before meals. This decreases your appetite. You get to fill up your belly by 40% before your next food intake. Studies stated candidate that drank water before meals increased weight loss over a period of a few months.

                Next, use plates. A small plate often carry less food in it. It also looks like it has more food in it, even though your family member has actually cut down the portion by half. It looks really full, especially if you put it in a bowl. In Asian countries, a really small bowl of food compared to a bigger plate filled with rice, meat and vegetables. However, these dishes are served with a big Chinese spoon and also a pair of chopsticks! Chop! Chop! Let’s eat!

                Furthermore, eat your food slowly. Fast eaters put on weight faster over time. Eating slowly makes you feel fuller. Eating slowly makes you feel fuller, and you can slowly chew the food before you digest it. Somehow you feel full when you eat slower.

                Finally, get a good night’s sleep. Poor sleep at night causes weight gain. That’s all for now! Thanks for reading! Chow!
