Eat breakfast
How are you supposed to have energy and a
functioning mind if you are not feeding your body? Eating breakfast is
one of the most important steps to losing weight and being healthy.
Skipping breakfast causes hunger pains, binge eating and irritability.
The fuel you give your body in the morning will help you function better
all day long.
Cut out caffeine
Caffeine is a drug. It affects your body
in numerous ways and can raise your blood pressure and cause you to
have trouble sleeping. By cutting back the amount of caffeine that you
consume, you are allowing your body to function the way it needs to. Of
course, many people will find this a difficult step to take, so you can
begin by eliminating one cup of coffee or soda each day. Then cut back
even more as you get comfortable with that amount. Your goal should be
to cut caffeine out of your diet completely.
Exercise. Exercise is important,
not just for weight loss but for the healthy running of your body. Do
something every day to get your body moving. This can be as simple as
walking an extra block on your way to work, getting up and walking
around the living room during commercials or going outside to play with
your kids or dog on the weekend. Start off small and incorporate this
exercise into your daily life. As your body gets used to moving more,
you can add more exercise and start a real routine. The more you move
your body, the more you can do.
Sit down to eat. And not on the
couch in front of the television. Make an effort to sit down at the
table to eat your meals. This allows you to concentrate on your food.
When your body tells you that you are full, listen. Instead of paying
attention to the latest episode of your favourite show on TV, pay
attention to your body. By paying attention to your body, you will be
able to stop overeating and enjoy your food. As you pay more attention
to the tastes of your food, you will enjoy eating different foods and
experimenting with healthier versions of old favourites.
