Basics of Easy Weight Management
Why weight management and not weight loss?
Because, when weight is managed the feelings of being deprived and the sense of ‘loss’ do not stress you out.
Four basic tips to practice daily:
1) Eat:
The time of day and what you eat are significant. Snacking is ok when the
type of snack is healthy and the amount can be controlled. Snacking helps to
get you to the mealtime unstressed. Do not overeat at mealtime nor snack
time. Many people eat more than they normally would, thinking they will
miss out on wonderful foods tomorrow. Remember, we live in a country
where the food will still be there tomorrow or later on in the day.
There are many food guides and resources available to help you chose what is
healthy to eat and almost everyday some TV or news show reminds us of
good choices. One idea that is not discussed often that could help is to control
cravings by choosing a small portion of something you know is healthy and
eating it first and then tell yourself that ‘if this does not satisfy me within 15,
20 or 30 minutes (you decide what your limit is) – then I will have a small
portion of what I am craving’. Almost all the time, if you drink some water
after your consumption you will no longer have as
strong a craving as before and sometimes can even just skip what it was you
were craving for that day.
2) Sleep:
Sleep can help with energy and stress levels. It is important to get enough
sleep because it helps with your metabolism. When you get enough sleep it
also provides the required energy level to help you exercise. Getting enough
sleep also helps people reduce their stress levels.
3) Drink:
Drinking enough water is very important. Water can help you feel full
for a while and helps to cleanse the body. Today there are many toxins and
drinking water can help your body release these. As you gradually increase
your water intake, your body will crave the water and it will not need to be as
deliberate. Water is also good for skin tone in general as it helps to hydrate.
4) Exercise:
Daily exercise of some type is necessary for metabolism and stress
management. There seems to be an important cycle between exercise
and many of your lifestyle choices and can have a very positive effect
when you can find even a small amount of time to exercise daily. It has been
found that exercise can somehow help with food cravings and can reduce
emotional eating. People find that they make healthier choices without even
knowing why.
Your weight will seem to fall off with this small adjusted lifestyle change because you have not been hungry nor stressed trying so hard. These four basic tips are most effective when practiced at the same time, however, even attempting only some portions daily can help to move you and motivate you toward a gradual and natural lifestyle change without stressful calorie-counting, carb-counting, exhaustive exercise or medicine.
