One of the most desired goals for
everyone is losing weight. The main reason for that is because we lack the time
we need for watching our health and keeping our weight on check. Some of the
factors for weight gain are excessive stress, lack of exercising, bad eating
habits, sedentary lifestyle, binging and so on. Since gaining weight does not
happen overnight we don’t pay much attention to it at first and when we do, it
is usually too late and we have gained extra weight.
It
is not a secret that most people have hectic schedules and they lack time for
putting effort for losing weight. However, there are certain shortcuts for
losing weight. Take a look.
Reduce the Consumption of Alcohol
One
Do not eat after 9 pm
One
of the top ways to avoid gaining weight is by not eating anything after 9 pm.
You have already consumed everything during the day so eating after 9 pm mainly
leads to accumulating calories. Having a meal late at night is more of stress
and boredom than of hunger.
Drink Plenty of Water
Water
keeps us hydrated and improves the skin quality. Additionally, water also aids
with the weight loss process. Water flushes out the toxins from our bodies and
improves our metabolism. Water can also help us to know when we really feel
hunger. Our body mistakes hunger for dehydration a lot. We need to drink eight
glasses of water daily at the minimum.
Get
enough sleep
Your
body starts getting stressed the minute you start depriving it of sleep. Stress
which is caused by lack of sleep affects the hunger related hormones. In order
to maintain the hormone levels balanced and keep the appetite in check you need
to sleep from six to eight hours a day.
Interval Training
You
need to exercise for short intervals and do recovery breaks in between. This
exhilarates the metabolism and impacts the calories burn process. By doing High
Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) program, the body continues losing weight
following the workout. So, you need to do 15 to 20 minutes of workout per day
to speed up the weight loss process.
Drink Coffee
The
caffeine which is found in the coffee increases the fatty acids release in the
bloodstream thus providing energy for longer and more intense workout. It also
suppresses the appetite.
Eat an Egg for Breakfast
By
starting your day with consuming extra protein you will keep your brain off the
snacks as the day goes by. Adding yoghurt to the breakfast is also an excellent
way to reduce hunger cravings.
Write Down What You Eat
Write
down everything that you consume throughout the day. Researches have shown that
people who keep a record of what they eat are more likely to lose weight that
those who don’t.
Feel the Sun
Exposing
yourself to sun increases your energy. Additionally, people who expose
themselves to sun have lower body mass index (BMI) compared to people who
don’t.
PrepareYou Snack
Prepare
your own healthy snack. Take a pack of almonds or an apple and soothe your
hunger cravings.
