A painless diet for weight loss
Diet is a word that brings shivers down the spine and hunger pains to our stomachs. But a diet should not deprive you of nutrients and provoke anxiety attacks. The word diet actually refers to your regular daily eating habits. Significantly reducing your caloric intake can have an adverse affect on your metabolism. This is especially true if you reduce the calorie intake suddenly. Sometimes people refer to this as a crash diet.
Dieticians use the crash diet technique to help underweight people gain weight. It’s true! The sudden drastic reduction of calorie intake will slow the metabolism. Underweight individuals are instructed to crash diet for several days and then encouraged to eat regularly immediately following. The body believes it is in danger of starvation and stores everything the body eats as fat. The result is weight gain!
So instead of starving yourself and suffering the resulting weight gain, try this for thirty days and see what happens. Everyday, make sure you drink 5 eight ounce glasses of water. (Do not count vitamin waters that are colored and not clear.) Substitute water as your drink with meals to help ensure you meet this requirement. Also, when you feel the urge to snack, drink a small (4oz) cup of water first.
After a few days, you may begin to notice you are not as hungry anymore. And drinking the water may prevent you from consuming multiple high calorie drinks. After 30 days, you should find you have lost weight and developed a new way to reduce your hunger without starving. But make sure you do this everyday for the full 30 days.
