Control Your Weight With These Weight Loss Tips

If you wish to lose weight, try getting enough sleep. It has been proven that those who don’t get enough sleep tend to be hungrier throughout the day. Therefore, lack of sleep can cause people to overeat. As a result, their weight will be negatively affected.

Eating up to 20 g of sugar following a workout can actually have positive effects. This small dose of sugar gives your body the means to provide energy to all the muscles you used.

If you are eating when you aren’t paying full attention, you will gain weight. If you ignore what you’re putting in your mouth, you won’t lose any weight. Be aware of how much food you consume with each meal and you can eat less every time.

Eat your largest meal earlier in the day. If you have a small meal at lunchtime, have a dinner-sized meal instead. More calories are burned during daylight hours, so it’s smarter to eat the bulk of your calories earlier in the day.

Holiday diet tips that last all season

Davis' primary tools are diet fundamentals, such as not showing up hungry to a party, volunteering to bring something healthy and drinking at least one glass of water before she eats anything.

“When I join everyone else in the kitchen, I station myself near the food that won't hurt too much if I indulge, mostly veggies and protein,” says Davis, a former News-Sentinel editor who now works for the Indianapolis Business Journal in Indianapolis. “If I'm going to 'spend' the calories, I want to get some nutrients.”

We all know this stuff, and it really does work. But to actually use these strategies, you need a goal that transcends momentary temptations — and the long-term vision to view the holiday season as a whole.

“Probably one of the best tips I can offer is for people to really do some pre-planning,” says another 150-pound loser, a former Weight Watchers leader who's now quietly working to lose a few pounds that have since crept back on.

“Know that there will be special days, events, meals, parties, but there are lots of days in the holiday season where you can stick very well to your plan, and only reserve the special occasions to have a few of the 'extras.'”

I love all three articles . The weight loss tips are down to earth and easy to follow. And who would have thought bananas can do wonders for us dieters! The video that followed reaffirmed the benefits of eating bananas. I love bananas... they taste great and they are plenty at the supermarket. And the bonus is you can eat bananas in so many ways, shakes and smoothies and what have you. and because exercise is always a part of weight loss, going to a weight loss camp would be a good idea.
