EVERY DAY I COMM WITH 10 TIPS!!! PLEASE GIVE ME A COMM AND SUPORT ME!
TIP #1 :
Drink plenty of water. It is recommended that you drink 8 glasses per day, but that may take
you some time to work up to. Your body needs a whole lot of water. Water doesn't just flush
all the toxins out of your body, but it makes you feel better and healthier. When you drink a lot
of water you just begin to feel fit and this is the motivation you need to lose weight.
The best thing about water is you can drink as much as you want because it has no calories at
all. When you're drinking a lot of water, you eat less as well because you won't feel as though
you are starving to death. Remember, if you feel hungry, try drinking a glass of water first and
you'll realize you were probably just dehydrated and not hungry at all.
The whole 8 glasses a day rule is really something you should strive for. The best way to do this
and to measure your water intake is to buy a jug from the drug store or grocery store that is
designed to hold exactly 8 glasses of water. These are great weight loss tools because you can
fill them up, freeze them and as it melts throughout the day you have fresh and cold water. Or,
if you don't mind your water room temperature you can drink it that way as well. All that
matters is that you're getting in the water your body needs.
TIP #2:
Start off your day with a fresh, clean glass of water. As soon as you get up in the
morning, drink one down. This will help your body to get going because it won't be fighting
through dehydration. Also, after you drink a glass of water you won't need to eat such a large
breakfast. A glass of water wakes up all the digestive juices in your body and gets it well
lubricated. You can always have your morning coffee or tea, but be sure to have a glass of
water afterwards. Caffeine dehydrates you and you want to ward off dehydration.
TIP #3:
Drink a glass of water before you sit down to eat. Water will naturally make you feel
fuller so you don't have to eat as much food.
TIP #4:
Have a glass of water while you eat as well. Take a drink after each bite and you will
feel full more quickly so you can leave the table feeling satisfied without feeling bloated.
Drinking water while you eat will also help your food to settle more quickly, which also helps
you to feel full faster.
TIP #5:
Do your best to stay away from soda. All sodas are sweetened with lots of sugar. The
more you can cut out of your diet the better. Also, diet soda is still soda. It may not have as
much sugar, but it has other chemicals and components that are not good for your body either.
If you drink a soda, counteract it with a glass of water. Remember, caffeine dehydrates you as
well. Decaffeinated sodas still have caffeine in small amounts as well and just as much sugar, so
they are not much healthier either.
TIP #6:
Fruit juice isn't as healthy as most people think either. Juice actually has a lot of sugar
in it as well. If you are craving a glass of juice, drink fresh fruit juice instead of juice that has
artificial flavors and coloring. It is even better if you can make your own fruit juice. Just be sure
not to add too much sugar which adds to the calories. Instead of drink fruit juice, eat more fruit.
Fruit provides your body with much needed fiber as well as vitamins.
TIP #7:
Go easy on the tea and coffee. They are pretty much harmless if you don't add a lot of
cream and sugar to them. It is the cream and sugar that becomes fattening. Think of it this
way, when you have a cup of coffee or tea with cream and two cubes of sugar, you are
essentially eating a piece of chocolate cake every time. Now think of how many pieces of cake
you are eating when you have a Venti Starbucks Latte – yikes.
TIP #8:
If you must have your tea and coffee, try to drink it black. Black tea or coffee actually
has health benefits to it as long as you counteract the caffeine in your body with a nice big glass
of water. Caffeine is also not good for you because it affects functions in your body, like your
metabolism.
Another type of tea that you can drink freely is green tea. Green tea has been used as a
medicine in China for over 4,000 years. It aids the digestive system and can help ease an overly
full stomach and it has been linked to a reduction in cancer risk.
TIP #9:
If you can say no to alcohol, then that is best. Alcohol beverages are not exactly good
for you, although a glass of red wine does have heart benefits, most are just fattening. Beer is
especially fattening. Cocktails are fattening depending on what they are made of. For instance,
whiskey and Coke. The whiskey may not be fattening, but the Coke definitely is. Plus, after a
few drinks most people get the munchies and when you're feeling a little inebriated and hungry
you won't be able to make rational decisions regarding your diet and it's usually late at night,
just before you pass out from a night of drinking, that you overeat. The overall combination is
just not a good one.
TIP #10:
If you must have alcohol, try dry wine. Dry wine is better than your sweet wines,
because sweet wines have more sugar! Dry wines have sugar, but most of it has been
fermented away into alcohol and from a weight gaining perspective, dry is better.
