10 tips to weight loss
By: rebook srs
Weight Loss Tip Stretch your meals out. Don't eat too fast. Your stomach, mouth and brain are all connected and it takes twenty minutes of chewing before your stomach signals your brain that you are full. To feel full and successfully lose weight on any weight loss program, you need to eat slowly for twenty minutes or longer. Weight Loss Tip Drinking eight glasses of water a day is important to your health, your normal diet and will help lose weight. Water is necessary for the metabolism of your stored fat. Weight loss cannot occur without an active metabolism which requires large quantities of water. Weight Loss Tip The more positive your self-esteem, the better you feel about yourself, the faster and easier it will be for you to lose weight. When you are self-confident, you are better able to take charge of your life. Weight Loss Tip If you go on a fat free or low fat diet, you also cut out much of the taste of the foods you eat. Add the flavor back with herbs and spices. Strong flavors such as vinegar, garlic, chili powder, cayenne, curry powder, rosemary and tarragon can be used to doctor up any food you are eating. Weight Loss Tip Increase your metabolism by as much as forty percent by using hot and spicey foods. Research has been done that shows spicey foods can increase your metabolism. For double duty, give up fat filled mayonnaise for mustard and add hot peppers to your food for greater flavor and increased metabolism. Weight Loss Tip Negative emotions will also interfere with your weight loss program. It's difficult to stay motivated to lose weight when you feel bad. Overeating often accompanies negative emotions such as depression, anxiety, fear, guilt and anger. Try to keep a positive attitude throughout your life. Weight Loss Tip To lose weight faster, reduce your intake of caffeine. Caffeine leads to an increase of insulin in your body which retards the burning of your stored fat.This is a simple chemical reaction in your body that you can change. Reduce your caffeine intake by 50% and see what happens. Weight Loss Tip Incease your intake of fiber rich foods. They will help fill you up faster and will help all the food you eat pass through your digestive system more easily. Weight Loss Tip Exercise is probably the most important key to increasing your metabolism and burning off excess fat. Research shows that you burn more stored fat for energy when you do aerobic exercises on an empty stomach than on a full stomach. Research also shows that you burn more stored fat when you exercise late in the day rather than in the morning. Put it all together, and the best time to exercise to lose body fat is in the late afternoon/early evening after dinner. Second best is in the morning before breakfast. Weight Loss Tip Never skip a meal. Your first meal after waking starts your metabolism. Your metabolism then speeds up for about eight hours and then starts slowing down until you go to sleep when it goes to low until you wake and eat and start the cycle again. If you skip breakfast, your metabolism doesn't get started until lunch time. You've just missed three or four hours of fat burning time. When you skip meals during the day, your metabolism also slows down. Weight loss through the burning of stored fat is all about eating enough of the right kinds of foods so you stay full and your metabolism stays as high as possible. Try to eat five to six small meals throughout the day.

Weight Loss Discipline (Excerpt)
Weight Loss and Discipline
Why is it so hard to lose weight and keep it off? We have
all heard that weight loss is just a matter of taking in
less calories than we expend. That certainly sounds very
logical, but is it really that simple?
For example, I had an intention of only eating fruits and
vegetables for a day or two, to counteract the recent
'junk'
food I had been enjoying. This was a solid plan that
practically guaranteed a decrease in caloric intake.
However, a solid plan doesn't always mean an easy
execution.
I figured I would be relatively safe making a trip to the
health food store. So my guard against high fat foods was
down. When I got to the store, my sensibilities were
assailed by a well meaning clerk hawking some freshly
made
corn beef and cabbage. I could hardly resist the
temptation. And that wasn't the end of it. Once my armour
was breached, the temptation of tasty, 'health oriented'
cookie samples fought for my attention.
