Everybody wants healthy results from their weight loss plans and almost everybody wants them faster. So below are five tricks to achieve faster, healthier weight loss results.
Get enough sleep
People who don't get enough sleep are more likely to gain weight because lack of sleep triggers hunger pangs. Sleep deprivation not only slows down the burning of calories but also is responsible for a decrease in the leptin level in the body. Leptin is an appetite-regulating hormone, and insufficient amounts increase appetite.
Brush after every meal
Brushing your teeth is not only good for dental hygiene; it keeps you from craving dessert or more food. It actually signals your brain to stop eating.
Drink before you eat
Often, thirst is confused with hunger. This is one of the reasons we can often end up consuming more food than is necessary. Drinking a glass of water before every meal will not only quench thirst but also help keep you from eating more food. Also, when dining out, you can start by ordering a soup before the main course. It prepares your stomach for the food that you will be eating and makes you feel less hungry.
Know when and what to eat
Changing your diet will not be easy and if it is not done right, it could create unwanted results. A diet which is protein-rich makes you feel fuller and more energetic for a longer time. Also, ‘going green’ will keep you from craving unhealthy food. Eating at regular intervals will keep your metabolism operating at the proper rate. Don’t deprive yourself of food or skip meals, especially breakfast. Discipline yourself instead to eat at well-spaced intervals to keep you from hunger pangs and sweet cravings.
Indulge to physical activities
There are a number of factors that contribute to the successful results of exercise. It is not just about doing actual exercise, but doing it right. Make time to exercise, but do not push yourself too far or too fast. Indulge yourself to different physical activities or enroll yourself in fitness classes that you will enjoy at the same time. Personal training can also help guide you and keep you motivated.Personal
