Loss Weight Through Diet & Exercise
Part-2 - Drink at least two to three litres of water daily. Drink
plenty of water because runners often get dry mouths as they run plus
you want to stay hydrated. Drinking other liquids also provides your
body with a source of water, but note that diuretics cause your body to
expel water. Diuretics include caffeinated drinks (coffee, tea and
soda) and alcohol
Stay away from sugary drinks, especially sodas. All those colas and
fizzy drinks are filled with plenty of sugar and sugar means calories.
The more you avoid these sugary drinks, the better for it is for you.
So if you must drink sodas, then stick to diet sodas.
Always make a habit to eat only when you are hungry. A lot of people
are tempted to eat when food is in front of them .Party is often use as
an excuse to stuff our selves. We should be aware of the effect of a
whole week of dieting can be ruined by just enjoying one day's party
food. When someone offers you something to eat do not refuse it
completely just break of a nibble or just take a little bit so that you
tend to mind your manners and at the same time can watch your diet.
Smoking is bad for weight loss. Smoking as such may not contribute to
weight loss but smoking leads to other conditions like erratic eating
habits and excessive dependence on things like coffee.
Go for evening walks around the neighbourhood with a friend, wash your
car or maybe even do some gardening instead of watching T.V and just
sitting there eating junk food all day, do something exciting that
helps you keep fit, healthy and looking good at the same time. Look for
opportunities to use your body that focuses on developing good life
long food and exercise habits. There is no set time frame for results.
Anyone starting a diet should take each step of the program at their
own pace. In addition, always choose a nutritionally balanced plan with
enough calories to keep you from feeling flat and tired.
Walking is always a good form of exercise to start with. We use so many
muscles while walking. Walking helps relationships, makes one forget
worries, and eases the mind. It aids digestion, stimulates the brain,
and helps the blood flow evenly throughout the body. Walking at a brisk
pace produces longer workouts with less soreness - leading to more
miles and more fat burnt off on a regular basis. High intensity walks
on alternate days helps condition one's body. Walking is a great form
of exercise. Other exercise options include going to local gyms,
community pools, and other exercise classes.
