Weight Loss Tips Number 11 to 20

11) I would like to pass along a tip that I learned from a diet organization whose overpaid legal team I just

heard from. First thing every morning have two tablespoons of lemon juice in

eight ounces of water. The water can be cold or hot or anywhere in between.

Of course, you sweeten it with an artificial sweetener. Apparently, citrus is

Mother Nature's diuretic, and when drinking so many fluids, it helps keep one

from retaining them.At that time, we were taught that "Minute Maid" frozen

lemon juice (found in any grocery store's frozen juice department) was the

best as it had no preservatives or additives. I still do this every morning

that it is at all possible. Sometimes, especially when traveling, one does not

wish to make too many rest stops, or the pure unsweetened lemon juice is not

readily available. In either case, it's up to the individual.

 

12) put on my workout suit (difference from the casual clothes I put on after

arriving home from work) around 8:30 p.m. That motivates and remind me that

after the children are bath and in bed. It's time to treat myself to working

out. And no matter how tired I am having on the workout suit helps.

 

13) In response to suggestion that you chew gum to relieve the need to chew, I disagree. I have read and

been told that chewing gum merely stimulates the gastric juices. The saliva that

is produced while chewing goes down to the stomach, thus fooling the stomach

into thinking there is food to be digested. In my opinion and others, this

merely causes you to be hungrier. I advise people drink a class of water or

chew on (fine) ice

 

14)(A)The Diabetic Diet is a great, health, easy way to diet. Ask your doctor

what he recommends and chances are it will be this one. It isn't just for

diabetics, but it does keep you HEALTHY while you diet.

(B) To figure out how many calories to have per day, take your target weight

and multiple by 13 if you are not active, 15 if you are moderatly active, and

17 if very active. This will provide you with the correct calories to eat per

day to support the weight you WANT to be. The extra weight will eventually go

away

 

15) Just moving around burns calories. Maximize this potential by doing little

things all day. Instead of an elevator, take the stairs or my favorite, get a

long phone cord so that you can pace around while talking.

 

16)Drink plenty of water, especially cold water (i.e., with ice or from the

refrigerator). The body cannot use the water until it is warmed up to your body

temperature. The colder the water, the more energy the body must use to warm

the water, thus burning more calories.

 

17) In the line of 'eat slowly' to elaborate--Give your brain a chance to find

out that your stomach has received food. When you eat too fast you may think

you want more food, and the result is often painful.By eating at a calmer

pace, you let the brain know that the body has received food and you are much

less apt to want more; besides, food is to be enjoyed, not snarfed down like

a Vitamin C pill!

 

18) Eating small portions really does work for weight loss except you still

feel hungry because you see the small portions on your dinner plate. A

suggestion that was given to me was to eat your meals on a sandwich or dessert

plate.If your mind see's a full plate, it will register a full serving and you

don't seem to be as hungry when you're finished.

 

19)Fiber is excellent for weight loss and healthy too. Not only does it make

you feel full, it encourages bowel evacuation which cleans out your system. I

keep prunes on hand as well as Citricel (look for the fibers that don't en-

courage gas formation) and the health food stores now carry lots of very good

internal cleansers. All these work hand-in-hand with all that H2O you will be

drinking. And we have all read the scarey stuff out about colon cancer.Fiber

is linked with a reduced risk of colon cancer.

 

20) Here's a tip that the doctor told me: When ever you get cravings for some-

thing that you have no business with while you are on a diet...eat it, because

if you don't,you`ll probably eat up the whole refrigerator.
