Health Tips >> Lose 10 Pounds
We can't all have a perfectly sculpted and
toned body. Most of us need to lose 10 pounds or so and we work at it by
exercising and watching what we eat.
Losing 10 pounds isn't that difficult and it doesn't have to be a sacrifice.
If you follow a few sound rules you'll be on your way to lose 10 pounds in no
time.
I have written this article to provide some key tips on how to lose 10 pounds.
First of all, if you want to lose 10 pounds, drink plenty of water. Your body
is mostly made up of water and it needs a lot of water. Water is not just way
to flush out toxins but if you have more water in your body you will generally
feel full without the added calories. This in itself will discourage any
tendency to gorge.
The second thing to do to lose 10 pounds is choose low fat substitutes or no
fat substitutes. Not only will they help you lose pounds, they are better for
you heart too. There are plenty of low fat or even no fat substitutes
available in the market so instead of just picking up whatever you can see if
there are any substitutes for the thing you are looking for and try a
healthier choice if you want to lose a few pounds.
The third thing to do to lose 10 pounds is avoid crash diets. Crash diets are
not a permanent solution to weight loss. You may lose a few pounds but the
moment you give up on the crash diet the weight will return with a vengeance.
Crash diets may promise a lot, but very rarely do these promises ring true.
Following a sensible eating plan is your best choice for long-term results.
The fourth thing to do to lose 10 pounds is eat fresh fruit instead of
drinking sweetened fruit juice. When you eat fruit, you are taking in natural
sugar and a lot of fiber, which is needed by the body, and fruits of course
are an excellent source of vitamins.
If you do have a craving for fruit juice then go for fresh fruit juice instead
of those that contain artificial flavors and colors, or even better, try
making your own fruit juice.
The fifth thing to do to lose 10 pounds is develop a habit of chewing all food
including soft foods at least 8 to 12 times. This is essential to add saliva
to the food, as it is only in the saliva that sugar is digested.
Chewing your food more times also forces you to eat slower which gives your
stomach a chance to feel full. Your stomach is slow to register the food you
put into it and you run the risk of overeating by rushing through a meal.
These five keys to lose 10 pounds are pretty straightforward, easy to apply
and you won’t feel like you are sacrificing anything by using them. So why
don’t you just begin your sensible eating plan now?
