Tips For
Breaking
the Weight-Gain Habit
Our daily habits
can have a great effect upon our body weight, such as our shopping habits,
eating habits, exercise habits etc, and so it is important to examine these to
see how the current results can be interrupted and some changes brought
in.
Shopping habits are
probably the first point worth looking at, as if unhealthy snack foods are taken
home, they will undoubtedly be consumed, so the first point is to begin examining
what you buy in your weekly groceries.
By
bringing home healthier parcels of food from the shops, it will ensure that most
of your meals (or at the very least, breakfast and dinner) will be of a reasonably
healthy standard, and this is good for weight reduction and general health.
Consulting
a dietician for your food choices is probably a good idea, but needless to say,
read the packets and cans and always focus upon low-fat choices where possible.
Be generous with your purchase of most natural foods such as fruit, vegetables
and 100% fruit juices and, if you like to snack between meals, find some healthy
snacks such as fruit or fruit bars which will not make your metabolism pay

eat out for lunch at work, consider taking your own lunch to work a little more,
as this makes it easier to control what you eat. Otherwise, try some new healthy
restaurants or delicatessans, and experiment until you find a new 'favorite' meal
which is equally healthy and also satisfying. Reduce excessive alcoholic and unhealthy
drinks, and match each one you do have with an equivalent glass of water.
Speaking of water, try and increase your intake to 6-8 glasses a day, as this
helps the body rid itself of excess waste.
As
far as exercise is concerned, walking is one of the best for weight loss and
the least likely to cause injury! Try and walk to as many places as you can, and
move the pace up to a brisk walk. Don't overdo it, just try and have a good 'stride-out'
a minimum of 4 times a week. Otherwise take up a physical activity or sport which
you enjoy, as enjoying the physical activity you do is essential if you are
to keep it up for more than a few weeks.
So
the main points are:
