Weight Loss

Obesity is a pandemic lifestyle disease, which is affecting many people. As obesity leads to many other medical problems, it is very necessary to curb this menace, so as to save yourself from the morbidity and mortality due to obesity. One of the major reasons other than the lifestyle, for obesity is overeating. If you are able to curb your overeating habits, then you are able to attain your weight loss goal much faster. But, then how do you manage your hunger? As the body is nurtured to consume calories and not resist them, hunger becomes your greatest enemy in your weight loss program.



 It has the capacity to make you undo within minutes, what you had worked for so hard for all these weeks. But if you are able to plan your diet schedule in such away that you are consuming less calories, but at the same time not remaining hungry, then you can achieve your weight loss goal. You should always have your morning breakfast. If you remain hungry till the afternoon, then you tend to eat more in the afternoon, than is required. As eggs are high protein food, eating them in the morning breakfast, gives you a fullness sensation for a long time. Hence, you don’t get those hunger cravings and start snacking.

Drinking daily 8-10 big glasses of water helps you to curb you hunger especially, if you drink them just before your meals. When you drink water before meals, you are filling up your stomach, and hence leaving lesser space for the food. Also if you drink water instead of soft drinks, you will be consuming fewer calories. Drinking a shake gives you a fulfilling sensation. You can add few blueberries and strawberries together with half cup of low fat milk and few ice cubes. Shake it well and thoroughly to make you’re pumped up shake.

 You can even use fat- free yogurt to make the shake more thick and frothy. Thus you are consuming more with fewer calories, which will help you in weight loss. In the Afternoon, you should consume healthy, nutritious and well balanced diet, which is low in fats. Never keep a variety of food on the table, as they may tempt you to eat more. Try to choose those foods, which have high water content in them. They are low calorie food , necessary for your weight loss program. Eating salads like lettuce, cucumber, celery, and tomatoes, is a very good option.

 Use whole wheat bread, instead of the refined white bread. Bread made from flaxseed is more nutritious, and helps in weight loss and also cholesterol and blood sugar. If you are feeling hungry before dinner, then you can munch on handful of almonds, as they are high in proteins, fibers and monounsaturated fats. This helps to give you the sensation of fullness. Try to use stalling strategies to avoid the late afternoon food cravings. Try to divert you mind into something interesting like reading an interesting book, going out for a walk or even surfing net. Once you are able to control your hunger for the initial 10-15 minutes, then your hunger disappears. In the evenings, avoid second helpings and eat little boiled mashed potatoes in your dinner. Potatoes give a sensation of fullness, and hence you can eat less, and also not get tempted to eat again later at night.
