Tips For Losing 10 Pounds (1)

1.        

Drink plen ty of water. Our body needs a lot of water so give in to water. Water is not just way to flush out toxin but if you have more water in your body you wil g eneraly feel healthier and fiter. This it self wil discourag e any tendency to g or ge. The best thi ng about water is that is has no calories at al.

2.        

Start y our day with a glass of water. As soon as you wake up, gu lp down a glass of cool water. It's a wonderful way to start you day and you on ly need a lesser quanti ty of your breakfast drink after that. A glass of water lets out al your d ig estive juices and sort of lubricates the insides of y our bod y. You may have y our mornin g cup of tea but have it after a glass of water. It is good for you.

3.        

Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water natural y needs some space so that you feel fuler without actualy having to stuf yourself.

4.         

Have another g lass of water while you are havin g the meal. Ag ain this is another way of makin g yourself ful so that you can actual y rise from the table eati ng less but feelin g ful just the same. Instead of drinki ng it one gu lp, take si ps after each morsel. It wil hel p the food to setle faster so that you get that feelin g that you are ful faster.

SIDENOTE: Water is such a remarkable thi ng , but seldom do we give it the credit that it deserves. Did you know that over 66% of your body weight is nothing but water? It's amazing!

Water also plays a vital role in weight control, which is why I donated so much sp ace to it, above.

5.         

Stay away from sweetened botle drinks, esp ecialy sodas. Hey al those colas and fizz y drinks are sweetened with su gar and su gar means calories. The more you can cut out on these sweetened botle drinks , the beter for you. So if you must drink sodas , then stick to diet sodas.


6.         

Include in your diet things that contain more water like tomatoes and watermelons. These thing s contain 90 to 95 % water so that there is nothing that you have to lose by feasting on them. They fil you up without adding to the pounds.

7.         

Eat fresh fruit instead of drinking fruit juice. Juice is often sweetened but fresh fruits have natural sug ars. When you eat fruit , you are taki ng in a lot of fibe r, which is needed by the body, and fruits of course are an excelent source of vitamins.

8.         

If you do have a craving for fruit juice then go for fresh fruit juice instead of these that contain artificial flavors and colors. Or even beter , try making your own fruit juice taki ng care not to sweeten it with too ma ny calories.


9.        

Choose fresh fruit to processed fruits. Processed and canned fruits do not have as much fiber as fresh fruit and processed and canned fruits are near ly alw ays sweetened.

10.     

Increase your fiber intake. Like I mentioned, the body needs a lot of fiber. So try to include in y our diet as many fruits and vegetables as you can.
