Weightloss tips: Is food your enemy?


Hi Guys,

Truth is , we need to eat calories to burn calories! How's that? " When we do not eat enough calories to sustain our body's daily functions, our body panics and thinks there is no food available and thus slows down our metabolism. It thus ABSORBS MORE of the foods we eat instead of using that same food for ENERGY. But when we eat regularly, our metabolism speeds up and use those calories instead of saving them."

So knowing this, let me share with you some of the ways I've learned to ensure your metabolism functions at the optimum :

- Eat Breakfast. Skipping this meal will slow down your metabolism.

- Eat healthy foods. Foods that are with high nutritional values, have protein like egg whites, soy milk, lean meat, fish ; 7-9 servings of fruits and veggies,etc.

- Eat according to your activities. During hectic physical day, its best to eat breakfast and lunch well so you have sufficient energy and in the evening when you are ready to relax, lighten up on dinner.

- Snack frequently at least 4-6 hrs. Fruits and veggies are recommended in between meals so you'll not get hungry.

- Drink water. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water.

- And remember, do exercise and have 8 hrs. of sleep.

Guys, there is no short cut to losing weight. It takes EFFORT, DISCIPLINE and PATIENCE! You did not gain your weight overnight, did you?

  1. Exercise often to shed pounds in your body. Not that the time that exercise is, but how often does. Try taking exercise after a fixed interval to burn fat fast.
