Starvation Diets
In order to lose weight properly, be sure to eat enough calories per day. Starvation diets of sorts are extremely bad for your body for many reasons. Your metabolism slows down if you are not consuming enough calories. Starvation diets can also cause binge eating, which will cause you to pack on the pounds really fast.
It is much easier to lose weight when you have an idea of what strategies will be most effective for your specific situation. If you’re a morning person, set your alarm earlier and do your workouts in the morning. Night owls should work out in the evenings. If you are a person who hates having to get out of bed early, then you aren’t going to get up early to exercise.
To really keep your weight off, avoid eating for a few hours before you go to bed. When you eat before bed, the calories you consume are not burned off and are likely to turn into fat. Keep your mind occupied at night, by reading for example, to keep yourself from being tempted to overindulge in food.
There will be times that dinner at a nice restaurant is on the agenda. Know that portions at restaurants are bigger than what you need. You may need to ask the waiter to bring you a take-out container and place half of the meal into it. Dividing a meal into two (or more) portions not only cuts caloric intake, but it also gives you another meal option for later.
This time, your New Year’s resolution to lose weight will be different. You will have the right information and motivation in order to fulfill your goal of weight loss. You’ll truly stick to your goals. This will make you feel proud of losing the weight and accomplishing your goals.
