4
Ways To Lose Weight Naturally and Effectively
By Mark Idzik
Any doctor worth his salt will
tell you diets don't work, plain and simple. Surprised? Well you
might be. You can't get away from all the talk about South Beach,
Atkins, low-carb, the Zone -- you name it, they're talking about
it. It's on TV, in magazines, everywhere you look.
And of course there are the pills,
drugs and other expensive methods to lose weight. While they may
be appropriate in certain cases, by and large they aren't necessary.
Some can actually be dangerous to your health.
What does work, what's been proven
to work time and time again is something very simple: a lifestyle
change. You may not want to hear it, but it's true. You can't
eat thousands of calories, rich desserts, sugary snacks, excess
fat and tons of carbs, get little or no activity and expect to
lose weight with a pill!
You'll be surprised to know that
you don't need to stop eating or have to exercise for hours every
day to lose weight. Just a few simple lifestyle changes added
daily can turn your life around quickly. You will start to lose
weight within days and feel better as well.
Four tips to get you started
today
Drink water. Drinking
lots of water is probably the single most important thing you
can do for your health. When you get up in the morning, start
with a full glass of water before you start your day. Then get
an additional 10-12 glasses of water throughout the day.
Eat slowly. Chew your food 10 to 12 times before swallowing.
Your saliva starts the digestion process, and if you don't chew
enough, your stomach has to work twice as hard and many times
you don't get much out of the foods you eat -- except maybe some
indigestion.
Split your entree. When eating out, split your entree
with your dining companion. Most restaurants now serve portions
that are up to eight times the recommended serving size. Supplement
with a salad, soup or vegetable to complete your meal.
Avoid sodas. Did you know that an average soda has 14
teaspoons of sugar? Not only are these empty calories and carbs
that take you on a blood sugar roller coaster and adds pounds,
the sugar also can also cripple your immune system for up to five
hours, leaving your body working overtime and open to infections,
viruses and the effects of stress. In addition, recent studies
have linked increased soda consumption with certain cancers and
a loss of essential minerals.
