Make 4 Simple Lifestyle Changes to Improve Your Weight Loss
If you are currently trying to lose weight, you may be focusing too much on food and exercise instead of self-examining some bad ‘habits’ you may have that could be affecting your weight loss success. Simply adopt the four simple lifestyle changes – as outlined below – and you will be surprised at how much difference it makes to your weight loss success.
Slow Down Your Eating: Take time to chew your meal slowly so your body has got time to actually register that you are eating. Slowing down when you eat allows the receptors in your stomach lining to signal to your brain that you are full. As a result, you have a chance to feel ‘satisfied’ which means you will eat less.
Turn Off the TV: If you eat your evening meal in front of the television, then you may be guilty of ‘distracting’ your brain from the job at hand: this means that you may be consuming more than you intended to without realizing it. Long nights in front of the TV can lead to mindless eating, particularly if you are subjected to advertisements featuring food. Create a TV-less place to eat your evening meal and, once finished, move to the couch to settle down and watch your favourite program. Even better, declare the couch a food-free zone and then you will not find yourself snacking after dinner.
No More Diet Soft-Drinks: You may think that drinking artificially sweetened fizzy drinks are great for your waistline…but they aren’t! Unfortunately, diet soft-drinks stimulate your taste buds to ‘want’ something sweet due to the roller-coaster effect this has on your blood sugar levels. Drinking water will not cause this blood sugar imbalance and has an appetite calming effect at the same time.
Find a Hobby: The busier you are doing something you enjoy, the less time you’ll have to think about food. So find a hobby that you like which, preferably, that allows for interaction with others. Being content – both emotionally and socially – makes choosing healthy foods easier. Best of all, if you join a team sport you will also be taking part in an activity that will help to burn the excess calories too.
