Eat more and you will gain, eat less and there will be no change. Isn't it unfair if you think about it seriously? Why isn't losing weight through less eating as easy as it is to gain by eating more? After all the struggle and sacrifice you have been putting into cutting down on your calories, it really doesn't seem to work. May be your focus is not on the right factors or there is a possibility that you are missing out certain important things that are very crucial in order to make your weight loss journey successful.
Go through the following points and evaluate whether you are incorporating all these factors while cutting down on calories.
• Activities
You may be tired of listening to this again and again but when it comes to weight loss, there is no way you can ignore physical activities and exercise. You may have several excuses for not exercising including a hectic schedule, but activities do not mean that you have to strain yourself. All you must pay attention to is to get moving. You do not necessarily have to join a gym. Do simple exercises like taking a walk, or using stairs instead of elevators, ride a bike etc.
• Divide your meals
It is very healthy to eat more often than to starve yourself. Divide your big meals into several small meals and spread them throughout the day. You will also enhance your digestive system by doing this. Taking food in small portions throughout the day helps you boost the metabolism system. Good metabolism burns more calories regardless of how sedentary your lifestyle is.
• Do not allow yourself unhealthy food
Forbidden food must be cleaned out of your cupboards. You may not feel very happy doing this, but this is necessary. Do not keep space for any food other than healthy foods in your refrigerator and cupboards. The lesser access you have to unhealthy food, the lesser you will consume them.
• Drink lots of water In order to reduce weight, it is required that you drink water throughout the day. If you are one of those people who confuse thirst with hunger, then this is especially important for you. Drink water before a meal so that you feel full and eat less.
These are some general things you can do to make sure you really burn some calories and reduce weight.
