Lose weight

 

       Most of us need to lose a few pounds. Some need to gain a few. Optimal weight is very important because it supports better health, better attitude, better self-image and confidence. It is difficult to know what your optimal weight is since “an optimum” can mean different things to different people. There is one very simple rule that can  be used: 

Look at yourself in a mirror. If you can't tell where your collarbone is, you are very much overweight. If you can't see the whole length of your collarbone, you are lightly overweight. If you can count your ribs, you are underweight. 

 

       There are many diets out there that you can follow to help you achieve your optimal weight. You should choose the one that fits the best your taste, your life style, and most importantly, the one you will stay with for a long time. With any diet you choose there are few general rules to follow.

 

All diets need to be followed for a long time. The best diet is the one that changes your life style forever.

Eat only if you are hungry. Try to have 3 small meals and 2 smaller snacks a day. Do not eat after the certain time in the evening (8:00pm is a good mark).

Don't eat while watching TV, reading, or using your computer. Pay attention to the food you eat, respect it. Eat slowly and chew well. Drink a lot of water, at least 8 glasses a day. All other drinks should be enjoyed only occasionally (once a week, or once a month are good options).

Pick good quality foods. It is better to eat fresh uncooked fruits and vegetables than canned or cooked ones. Prepare your food yourself. Love and effort you put into it will make it taste better. Avoid foods that contain sugar, white flour, and processed oils. 

The most perfect snack in the world is an apple. Other fruits will do too.

Limit the size of your meal. Don't make more food than what you are going to eat. 

Don't buy too much food. You should not have more than a 4 to 5 days supply of anything.
