10 Dieting Tips That You Need To Know

By James Watt


Here are my 10 tips to losing body fat and keeping it off.

You must start by changing the way you think about food and the habits that you have formed regarding eating. You must realise that you cannot eat junk food and lose body fat. You must make the commitment in your mind before you start to eat like a thin person.

You need to eat like a thin person and that means you must become a grazer, so you should eat 5 or 6 smaller meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism revved up.

Eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full, don't over eat as this will give you too many calories and make you gain weight. So the rule is simple think before you eat, ask yourself am i really hungry.

Hungry or Thirsty? Sounds simple but the problem is your body sends a signal to your brain telling you that you are hungry or thirsty but your brain sometimes cannot tell the difference. So the best way to deal with this is if you feel hungry then drink a glass of water (this contains no calories) and then wait 20 minutes, if you are still hungry then go ahead and eat some food.

Start eating Natural foods such as Lean meats, fish, wholegrains, pulses, fruits, nuts, seeds and plenty of vegetables. This will provide all the essential vitamins and minerals that the body will need while keeping your blood sugar stable and keep you feeling full.

Refined sugar is a massive problem in the western world and it is found in foods like sweets and cookies. When you eat refined sugar you raise your blood sugar dramatically and your body will release insulin to bring it back down to normal levels, however that means taking the sugar from your blood and storing it as fat.

Look out for the hidden sugars in products like bread and pasta. Anything that is made with white flour will spike your blood sugar just like sweets or cookies. Be carefully of disguised white flour in brown bread which is just white flour dyed brown to make it appear healthy. The best option is to read the labels and look for the words wholemeal or wholegrain.

Start moving regularly, either walking, running or getting on your bike will help you lose the excess weight and keep it off, but what really counts is that you enjoy what your doing. This means you are more likely to stick to it.

Start working out and gain some muscle, this with help you with your fat loss by increasing your metabolism and helping you burn extra calories whilst you are going about your day.

Preparation prevents piss poor performance- always carry a healthy snack with you just in case you get hungry when you are out of the house. Keep a diary of what you eat each day and weigh yourself once a week.
