How to melt away your fat ……..forever
Stop skipping meals –
Slashing one meal per day from your menu seems like a logical way to peel off some weight . For instance, if you stop eating breakfast (typically 500 calories ), you’ll cut 3500 calories in seven days , roughly the amount needed to burn off 500 grams .
Trouble is, what you miss at one meal you often more than make up for at the next . Actually skipping any meal can lower metabolism , which normally speeds up to help digest food . Let’s say your body at rest burns 600 calories daily . If you skip breakfast , you use up 80 fewer calories per day . But if you eat breakfast , your sluggish metabolism revs up to burn those 80 calories . After about 15 months you can burn an extra 35,000 calories , the equivalent of five kilos .
Go vegetarian twice a week –
Dr. Dean Orrish in California has discovered that low-fat vegetarian diet can trim the waistline . “A small chocolate bar and a bunch of fresh broccoli have roughly the same number of calories . After eating the candy bar you probably won”t feel full. But you’llfell stuffed if you eat the broccoli .
Luckily you needn’t be a full time vegetarian to lose weight . Start by replacing meat in two meals per week .Substitute diced vegetables –bringal, mushrooms, capsicum – for the meat in some dishes or load up a pot of mixed vegetable curry instead of meat . Two meatless meals a week could save you 550 or more calories per week – five kilos in 16 months .
Don’t cut too many calories –
You must eat less to lose weight ,but don’t go overboard on cutting calories. Otherwise the body senses impending “starvation”, slows down metabolism and conserves energy by functioning on fewer caliries . This “fuel efficiency” mode will make it harder for you to lose weight .
Dance the night away Most people think of dancing as a social activity. But dancing is also an aerobic exercise that burns calories . So instead of going out for dinner and a movie, why not try ballroom dancing or any kind of dancing . Do ballroom dancing (which burns 200 calories per hour) for two hours every weekend and you’ll peel off five kilos in about 21 months .
Eat slowly The average person wolfs down a meal in 12 minutes . But that can lead to overeating. “it takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to signal the brain that body is full .”
Stop late-night munchies
A key obstacle to dropping extra kilos is after-dinner snacking . “If you’ve had a tough day at the office or trouble with the kids you may eat more than normal to unwind” says medical researcher John Foreyt. He suggests you plan your evenings so you’re away from tempting situations , Take an adult-education course or go for a walk .If you can’t distract yourself from eating , try noshing on a low-calorie snack like a piece of fresh fruit.
