Get a Better body, now !!!!!!!!!!

1. EAT MORE OR LESS

Eating less than is required to support your metabolism will slow it down instead. Most people raise their metabolism and keep their blood sugar levels stable with regular healthy eating. It also helps to prevent bingeing because you never feel famished.

2. SNACKING IS GOOD

Watch out for the late afternoon and evening slump. If you want to burn fat and prevent your body putting it back on, you must stabilize your blood sugar.  To do this, you need to eat every two or three hours, which includes healthy snacking, mid-morning snacking and mid-afternoon snacking. Fasting, skipping meals, or over-restrictive diets will make you lose weight, but only in the short term. The weight you primarily lose is water weight and muscle. When you restrict your body instinctively thinks it's being starved and shifts into a protective mode by slowing down your metabolism and storing nearly all your calories as body fats.

3. DRINK MORE WATER

Lack of water can slow the metabolic rate just as lack of food can. And dehydration, because it causes headaches, lack of concentration and fatigue, is also often mistaken for hunger.

4. DON'T DRINK TOO MUCH WITH MEALS

Do not drink copious amounts of liquids with meals, not even water. Have a glass of water about half-an-hour before you eat and take only little sips during meals if you must. Fizzy drinks are banned.

5. EAT SOUP FIRST

Have soup before a meal. Studies show that soup before a meal is a good way to feel satisfied.

6. FIND OUT WHAT'S EATING YOU

Eating foods that aren't healthy can often be triggered by stress, boredom, loneliness, anger, depression and other emotions. Learning to deal with emotions without food is a significant skill that will greatly serve long-term weight control.

7. SLOW DOWN

Eating slowly is another method that can help take off pounds. It takes the brain 20 minutes from the time you begin eating, to start signaling feelings of fullness. Fast eaters often eat beyond their true level of fullness before the 20-minute signal has had a chance to set in.

8. EAT AT THE TABLE

I want you to focus on what you are eating, and sitting on the sofa in front of the TV is about as mindless as it can get. At the table, you will eat more slowly, feel fuller; and sitting up straight helps digestion. Don't be a mindless munchier.

9. KEEP MOVING

Walking to the shops, taking the stairs at work, etc, all count and keep you moving throughout the day.  Remember the more you move the more pounds you will lose.

10. DON'T SHOP WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY

You'll end up buying all kinds of things you shouldn't. Eat something before you go make a shop list and stick to it.

11. BE PREPARED

Be prepared in order to avoid temptation. Take healthy lunches and snacks to work such as fruits, vegetable sticks and sips, soups, salads, sprouts, nuts and herbal tea bags.

12. EAT IN THE RAW

Every time you have something cooked, have something raw with it. Even if you have soups, add raw herbs or veg at the end. Raw foods are the only source of food enzymes, a catalyst for weight balance.

13. BREAKFAST LIKE A KING

lunch like a Queen and dinner like a pauper. Make sure you eat more at lunchtime than for dinner.

14.  EARLY TO BED

Get to bed by 10.30 pm. Your liver and gall bladder need three hours to do their detoxing. Healthy livers help balance weight. You need eight hours of sleep. Being tired slows your metabolism and can make you go for high-calorie foods.

15. EAT AT REGULAR TIMES

Try to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks around the same time each day. Irregular eating habits can cause bloating. If you leave your stomach empty for long periods of time the secretion of digestive enzymes slows down. Irregular eating habits can also play havoc with your blood sugar level to keep you from gaining weight.

16. EAT WHEN CALM

If you are upset wait until the feeling passes or lessens and then eat. Do not attempt to eat a full meal if you are stressed out or upset. Opt for vegetable juices or simple soups that day, as they are much easier on the digestion.

17. EAT DINNER EARLIER

Dinner should be had not later than 6 -7 pm, if possible.

18. THROW OUT YOUR SCALES

If you want a positive, passionate relationship with food, you must look at it in a whole different way.
