Eat more, weigh less? How is this possible? It's not just how much you eat, it's primarily what you eat. Most diets rely on small portion sizes to reduce calories sufficiently. You feel hungry and deprived. But this way of losing weight is based on the type of food you eat rather than the amount of food. So you can eat more frequently, eat a greater quantity of food-and still lose weight and keep it off simply, safely and easily.
Well, the simple method is to "increase your BMR". The more we eat the more our BMR is raised and the faster our calories are utilized to burn out the slimy mass within our tissues. But ONE HAS TO EAT SENSIBLY. It means you have to eat food which not only keeps you full but is low in calorie as well. Certain foods take more energy to digest than they contribute. By eating these foods, you are depleting your store of fat and increasing your metabolism. More importantly, eating smaller and more frequent meals will increase your metabolism over time rather than eating 3 big meals a day. Forget 3 meals a day! Eat 6 meals a day by cutting those 3 meals in half!
Tips For Eating to Lose Weight
1. Eat low calorie foods such as these: asparagus, beets, broccoli, green cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery root, celery, chicory, hot chili peppers, cucumber, dandelion, endive, garden cress, garlic, green beans, zucchini, apple, cranberries, grapefruit, lemon mango, orange, pineapple, raspberries, strawberries, tangerine, lamb's lettuce, lettuce, onion, papaya, radishes, spinach, or turnips. But you will have to eat some meat, fish and chicken are good alternatives to red meats.
2. Eating more frequently and in smaller quantities will allow your body to feel more satisfied throughout the day. Don't be tempted to skip breakfast - or any meal to lose weight. While skipping a meal will reduce your calorie intake for that hour, it will leave you much hungrier later on.
3. For a snack, use only those foods on the list. Don't worry, they are delicious!
4. Exercise about 30 minutes every day. Building muscle will raise your metabolism which will help burn more calories. Keep it up. Exercising every day is essential to weight loss and overall health.
5. Even if you are typically not hungry in the morning, eat something small like a piece of fruit or even drink 100% fruit juice. Contray to belief, carbs actually give you energy, but only if you eat the good kinds found in wheat bread and other things. Although a piece of wheat toast with sugar-free jam would be acceptable.
6. Try to set a schedule for eating: Breakfast = 7:30am. Snack = 10am. Lunch = 12pm. Snack = 3pm. Dinner = 6pm. Never eat any large quantities or fatty foods late at night when you are winding down. But if you are hungry before bed, DO eat something small at least 1 hour before laying down rather than going to bed hungry.
7. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water per day. This helps fill you up and keeps you busy with other activities besides swinging on the refrigerator door.
