2.Start
your day with a glass of water.
As soon as you wake up, gulp down a glass of
cool water. It's a wonderful way
to start you day and you only need a lesser
quantity of your breakfast drink after that.
A glass of water lets out all your digestive
juices and sort of lubricates the insides
of your body.
You
may have your morning cup of tea but have it
after a glass of water. It is good for you.
3.Drink a glass of water before you start the
meal.
Water naturally needs some space so that you
feel fuller without
actually having to stuff yourself.
4.Have another glass of water while you are
having the
meal.
Again
this is another way of making yourself full
so that you can actually rise from the table
eating less but feeling full just the same.
Instead
of drinking it one gulp,take sips after each
morsel. It will help the food to settle
faster so that you get that feeling that you
are full faster.
SIDENOTE:
Water
is such a remarkable thing,
but seldom do we give it the credit that it
deserves. Did you know that over 66% of your
body weight is nothing but water? It's
amazing!
Water also plays a vital role in weight
control.
5.Stay away from sweetened bottle drinks, especially
sodas.
Hey
all those colas and fizzy drinks are sweetened
with sugar and sugar means calories. The more
you can cut out on these sweetened bottle drinks,
the better for you.
So
if you must drink sodas, then stick to diet
sodas.
6. Include in your diet things that contain
more water like
tomatoes and watermelons.
These
things contain 90 to 95 % water so that there
is nothing that you have to lose by
feasting on them. They fill you up without adding
to the pounds.
7. Eat fresh fruit instead of drinking fruit
juice.
Juice
is often sweetened but fresh fruits have natural
sugars. When you eat fruit, you are taking in
a lot of fiber, which is needed by the body,
and fruits of course are an excellent source
of vitamins.
8. If you do have a craving for fruit juice
then go for fresh fruit juice instead of these
that contain artificial flavors and colors.
Or
even better, try making your own fruit juice
taking care not to sweeten it with too many
calories.
9. Choose fresh fruit to processed fruits.
Processed
and canned fruits do not have as much fiber
as fresh fruit and
processed and canned fruits are nearly always
sweetened.
10. Increase your fiber intake.
Like
I mentioned, the body needs a lot of fiber.
So try to include in your diet as many
fruits and vegetables as you can.
