Change Your Body by Changing Your Mind

For years, weight loss has been a trend for a slender figure, as people age, their life get busier and they slowly start gaining weight. Now, the time has come to lose weight.

Weight loss is among the biggest health concerns in the world. Having too much body weight has also been scientifically linked to cancer, heart disease, liver disease, osteoarthritis (OA), and diabetes. Such statistics have fuelled many adults to take charge and take the weight off. Its difficult burning calories especially if you’re new to exercise and the whole weight loss process can make you feel downright cranky. If the thought of working up a sweat on the treadmill at the gym to burn calories doesn't appeal to you, you'll be happy to know that you can burn plenty of calories just by doing everyday activities.

There are many ways to lose weight in a very short period of time. All the new ideas for weight include a diet which we have to follow. We are discussing a three step plan here by which it becomes easy for someone to lose weight in a very short period of time:

·        Remove sugars and starches from your diet- Insulin is a main fat storage hormone in the body.When insulin goes down, fat has an easier time getting out of the fat stores and the body starts burning fats instead of carbohydrates. Cut the carbohydrates, lower your insulin and you will start to eat fewer calories automatically and without hunger.

·        Include proteins and vegetables in your diet- Your meal should include a protein source and a low carbohydrate vegetable source. This will automatically bring your carbohydrate intake into a recommended range. Protein is the macronutrient that contributes most to fullness and eating adequate protein can raise your metabolism. The protein source includes meat, fish, seafood and eggs. And the low carbohydrate vegetables include broccoli, spinach, cucumber, lettuce, kale, celery, beans, cauliflower etc.

·        After breakfast, stick to water- At breakfast, drink orange juice, but throughout the rest of the day, focus on water instead of juice or soda. Researchers have shown despite the calories, sugary drinks don’t trigger a sense of fullness the way that food does.

·        Walk for 45 minutes- A study conducted by Duke University suggested that walk for 45 minutes daily instead of the typical 30 minutes. This is because 30 minutes of daily walking is enough to prevent weight gain, but walking or exercising beyond 30 minutes may result in weight and fat loss. Furthermore, if you want to cut or burn additional 300 calories a day then try to do brisk walking for 45 minutes. This may help you lose 30 pounds in a year without even changing how much you’re eating.
