Limit your salt

Salt is this underestimated bitch as it has the ability to hold water 50 times of its weight. If you consume more than 1 table spoon of salt in you diet, the sodium present in the salt will make you retain more water. More water retention make it look like that you are gaining weight or bloating.

Your goal is to limit your sodium intake to 1 table spoon only, as this will help you in shedding all that unwanted water weight.

Stay away from fast foods, canned soups and cured meats. Instead use things that are low in sodium like lemons, garlic, pepper, caraway, tarragon.

Sleep Just Right

Finding the right amount of sleep has a relation with weight loss.According to a study, people who oversleep (over 8 hrs) or under sleep (less than 6 hrs) are more probable to gain weight than people who sleep just right(7-8 hrs)When you are sleep deprived your “leptin” levels drop. Leptin is the hormone that lowers your appetite.Alternatively the levels of Ghrelin rise, which makes you feel more hungry thus consume more food.

CHEW your food longer and lose weight faster

The name of the game is to make your brain register what you have actually eaten. The more you chew the faster your brain registers what you have eaten, that results in less portion size as you feel fuller.If you eat in a hurry or chew less, your brain doesn’t register what have you eaten or in what quantity, thus leading to binging on more food and increased weight gain.

Use Small utensils

One of the trick to force yourself to have less portions size is to use smaller utensils, container, tiffins etc.This will make you eat smaller portions, which will make your meals last longer at the same time make you full on lesser calories.

Eat & Walk

Walk for 5-10 min after consuming each meal. Instead of walk you can use any other activity of you choice. The idea is to increase the amount of calories your body will burn during the digestion process.

Please Avoid sodas - Even Diet sodas

According to a study, people drinking diet soda increased their waistline 6 times more than people drinking any other kind of drink.Now imagine if you could just replace those 2 bottles of weekly soda with 2 bottles of water, which is 0 calories. You could loose almost 1 pound every week.

Don't sit down for more than 4 hours

According to a study, if you sit idle or inactive for more than 4 hours your metabolism begins to slow down. Inactivity triggers the ability to store more fat, which you don’t want at this stage in your life. The solution is try standing for 10 mins after every 4 hours, this will keep your body active and not let it enter that fat storing zone.

Think Moderation
