How To Eat More And Loose Weight:
What if someone tells you that you can actually eat more but still weigh less? Punch them for making fun of your plight?I wouldn’t judge you too harshly for that, after all bullying is a serious concern, but you should still consider apologizing to the person lying on the floor with a bleeding nose, because they were right. The key is to eat 5 meals a day. Its also what you eat. Example my snack at 9 and 3 is an Apple with Peanut Butter and a Almond milk.
Research has shown that the satiety systems in the brain are triggered by the volume of food that you eat and not the amount of calories that you consume. So basically this means that if you eat less calorie dense foods, your body will full while still consuming fewer calories.
Generally, foods that are high in fats and sugar pack a lot more calories per pound than foods that have more dietary fiber and water.So you can indeed have a healthy and fulfilling diet, and still shed that unruly fat. Read the following tips to know how you can opt for nutritious food that offers ample nutrition but with fewer calories.
• One general rule is to avoid a lot of oil, which, means no fried stuff. You will be better off ditching the deep fried french fries and eating boiled or baked potatoes. The rule applies for all vegetables and meats.
Pan frying or sauteing adds fewer calories than deep frying, but some oil is still added and even a tablespoon of oil can add many calories and fat to your diet. Attempt using a nonstick pan and using a vinegar be it rice or apple cider. Also consider steaming your vegetables is a flavorful and extremely healthy option.
• Everyone likes their food to be appetizing; by choosing seasonings wisely you can have the same quality of taste and fewer calories. A little lemon, orange or lime juice and zest can add oodles of flavor to your salads and meat. So can herbs and spices like basil, thyme, mint, turmeric, pepper and lots more.
Mustard and chilly sauces are usually less calorie dense and taste great, some ginger and garlic help a lot too. With endless options, you can experiment and get creative, becoming healthier at the same time.
• Making a mac and cheese? Use skimmed milk instead of whole milk and reduce the amount of butter. You can also use light cream instead of the cheddar, it will take less amount of cream to make the dish less dry and savory. A few of your favorite veggies won’t hurt either.
• Avoid sugar as much as you can. No more then 3 tablespoons per day. I need to give you example of sugar and coffee. Its morning time and you go to the coffee shop in the morning and get a Large coffee with cream and sugar it can be 750-1000 calories, if your on a 1600 Caloric diet you have almost used up half or more of your calories for the day. Little changes mean so much in dieting and weight management. Switching to unrefined sugar and using unprocessed honey wherever possible will help you achieve your weight loss aims. Eating a fresh fruit will not only make you fe fuller than commercial fruit juices, which are loaded with sugar, it will also provide a lot more vitamins and minerals.
• Use whole grains instead of the refined ones. Whole foods not processed foods. Cold Cuts and smoked foods are some of the worst foods for a health life style. I love my Italian Cold cut hoagie. Its a death trap!!! Whole grains have more dietary fiber and various vitamins minerals; these are lost in the refining process.
• Prefer lean meat, fish and poultry instead of the fattier cuts. Trim steaks of all edge fat. “Choice” or “Select” grades of beef have less fat than “Prime.” “Loin” and “Round” cuts have the least amount of fat.
• Have an appetizer! A delicious but low calorie salad and broth soup before your meals will make you consume fewer calories; it has been proven by research.
Follow the advice presented in these tips and you will soon notice an improvement in the scales. Keep your pantry stocked and plan ahead, munching on some vegetables and fruits throughout the day will keep your tummy satisfied.
One of the most important factors is not giving up, experiment and find the foods that you enjoy eating. There are countless variations and options available which can make your meal both appealing and fulfilling.
I know its ruff. I have to fight my craving just like you but we can do it.
All the best
