5 Easy Ways to Maintain Weight Loss

-

  

 

1.   Practice Intermittent Fasting 


Intermittent fasting involves cycling between periods of fasting and eating – and its recently become very popular, also for its health benefits which includes weight loss, reversal of type two diabetes and many other things. Intermittent fasting simply allows the body to use stored energy, by burning off excess body fat. Body fat is merely food energy that has been stored away. If you don’t eat, your body will “eat its own fat for energy.



 

 

2.   Go for a daily 30 min power walk 


When we are busy we can’t always make time for a full workout at the gym but taking power walks during the day or taking the stairs more often makes your heart beat faster and more oxygen is pushed through your body. Oxygen promotes weight loss while it also boost your metabolism. 





3.   Drink loads of water 


We are prone to rather have coffee or other beverages during the day than water. Rather focus on drinking more water. Water fills the fat cells and flushes it out of the body and it also hydrates the skin. 


 

 

4.   Keep a food journal


To keep track of what you eat, you can see how much you consume and you can be more aware and in control of how much you do eat and how much calories you consume in a day. To be aware of our consumption will lead to less and more healthy food choices. 


 


5.   Avoid carbs 

 

It’s all based on a controversial hypothesis known as the carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity. What happens when we eat carbohydrates? 

  • You eat carbohydrates

  • Your body releases insulin.

  • Then, according to the model, insulin 1) It keeps your body from burning fat for   energy, and 2) drives fat and sugar from your bloodstream into your fat cells.

  • All this makes your body think it’s starving, causing it to slow your metabolism and increase your hunger. Therefore try and avoid Carbs at all cost.


Stay strong and keep positive. You can achieve anything that you want to in this life.

Here are 6 tips on how to cut carbs and stay motivated

      1. Stay Hydrated Water should be your go-to choice for hydration. In addition to the potential for  negative effects of sugar on your health, sweetened drinks usually offer very little, if any, nutritional value.    Avoiding sugary beverages like soda and energy drinks is especially important if you're trying to cut carbs. Choosing water will also help you avoid adding extra calories—either from the beverage itself or overeating later.   When you reach for a sweet drink instead of a meal or snack when you're truly hungry, you’re not likely to feel satisfied and may fill up on “empty calories”.   One hundred calories of apple juice will leave you hungrier than 100 calories of an actual apple.         2. Eat Your Veggies When you first start a no-carb diet, one of the food groups you’re likely to stock up (and fill up) on is non-starchy vegetables, like greens, sprouts, cauliflower, and mushrooms.       ...

  1.     Stop Eating Carbs  One of the quickest ways to a flatter stomach is by getting rid of “bad” carbs. So, no more bread or pasta, anything that contains gluten should be banned and binned (the supermarkets are full of gluten-free products nowadays), no more potato crisps, breadsticks or white rice. You can still eat carbs but make them good carbs such as vegetables, lentils, peas, kidney beans, most nuts and seeds and your wholegrain carbs such as pure oats, brown rice and quinoa. When you cut carbs out of your diet, your body eventually reaches a state of Ketosis, so it burns off fat.   2.     Drink water    The best liquid to drink is undoubtedly water and actually, upping your intake of H2O will help to reduce your belly. Contrary to popular belief, not drinking water will bloat you out more and have you ever thought that the excess belly fat is a combination of fat and bloating? Water retention is the number one cause of b...
