The Tricks Of Getting Slim and Staying Slim
by Harry M. Austin
When getting slim is the norm and junk food is the bane, even to meticulous people, a piece of dark chocolate cake might be tempting a cup of ice cream is often a great temptation. Nevertheless, what baffles most dieticians and many those who have successfully lost a great deal of weight is the reason why people sometimes give in to enticement despite their better judgment. Probably this is due to, whenever we see a delicious-looking food, a hormone in our belly called ghrelin starts sending powerful signals to the brain telling us to eat the food. Even though, finding out how to slim down is vital, the sooner we unearth what's causing us to gain weight and hold on to it, the earlier we can get a remedy for obesity, or a simple way to losing those extra weight.
It is not uncommon to find dieters going back to their previous eating habits especially when they have just started, this also goes the same way for those people who are done with getting slim. They soon fall back to their old habits or form a new one. When this happens it becomes hard for them to lose weight, and for those who have already lost weight, it becomes hard for them to maintain their present weight.
Without much waste of time, here are a few tricks that can help you get lean and also stay slim.
1. Watch Out For Food cravings - one reason why you are often recommended to take lots of water is really because it is quite easy for people to mistake thirst pangs for hunger pangs. If you're looking to get slim or to maintain your body, then you've to eat only when you're physically hungry. As bad as it might be, most people actually eat when they feel bored or just for the comfort of eating. Additionally, only if you live in the Stone Age, you must know by now that staying away from food is just as much a non-option where getting slim is concerned. Look for physical signs that you are starving and as soon when you find it, ensure you don't delay eating. Delaying eating can lead to the activation of the body's starvation mode. Where the body will adopt the process of burning a reduced amount of calories and saving more like a reserve for strength during the time of "famine".
2. Drink As Much As You can - I just ampositive you know I'm not talking about booze or those sweet drinks you're thinking. Where getting lean, or maintaining a fit body is concerned, the only strongly recommended drink is water. The muscles along with other tissues of the body consist of approximately 80 per cent water. The matter herein is that if you limit your intake of water, your body definitely will retain water thus making you feel like the "king or queen of bloat". On the other hand, if you stay hydrated, the body will likely not need to preserve water, because it has an adequate amount of it - leaving you bloat free.
3. Maintain your diets - it is common for most people who have reached their weight loss goals to want to relax on their efforts. While I may want to congratulate you for the endurance, discipline and perseverance till the end, I think you should know that in order to keep your prize "your dream body", you may need to keep up with your efforts. Even if you may not pay the gym frequent visits as you used to, it is important that you still maintain your diet. This will help you prevent the accumulation of fats in the places where you have just struggled to get the off. Make sure you don't consume too much meal at a go, and try to eat low calorie foods, if for any reason you wish to indulge a little, make sure you make up it.
4. Don't Rush, take Time to Adequately Chew and Taste your Meal - this is the single most powerful and important of all of the principles on getting slim. Unquestionably, I can say that the majority of people lose out on getting full satisfaction from their meals. When many people want to eat or whenever they eat, they just go Chomp-Chomp, and swallow. This tip helps many of the others to work more easily. Instead of rushing, wait until you've swallowed before picking up another chunk of meal again. If you are drinking soups or beverages, try to drink slowly. Remember that if these foods are flavored, then they are meant to be savored. Should you really feel like gulping anything down, then try water.
5. Watch Out For Hunger Pangs - one of the reasons why you are often advised to take lots of water is because it is very easy for people to mistake thirst pangs for hunger pangs. If you are looking to get slim or to maintain your body, then you have to eat only when you are physically hungry. As bad as it may be, most people actually eat when they feel bored or just for the comfort of eating. In addition, unless you live in the Stone Age, you should know by now that starvation is just as much a non-option where getting slim is concerned. Watch out for physical signs that you are hungry and as soon as you find it, make sure you don't delay eating. Delaying eating will result in the activation of the body's starvation mode. Where the body will adopt the method of burning less calories and saving up more as a reserve for energy during the time of "famine".
