Weight Management Tips

Now after talking to a lot of you guys and asking you what you wanted us to write about, this was right at the top of the list, weight management tips that were easy to stick to but will still get results.

3 General rules for healthy lifestyle

1. Eat at least 6 quality small meals per day. Eating more meals per day increases the body's metabolism, gives you a constant flow of energy and reduces the likelihood of your body storing your food as fat.

2. Write everything down, having a visual diary of food habits can help break routine and help you see where you are going wrong. You are also less likely to eat bad foods if you know you have to write them down for someone to see.

3. Join a gym or hire a personal trainer with a friend, this has many benefits.
Foremost among these advantages are that you'll have a workout buddy, who can keep you motivated and keep you company while you get used to the gym environment and exercising regularly, and you'll save money because most gyms and personal trainers offer discounts when you train with a friend. Bodytorque offer personal training for only £15 per hour.

I’ve  also came up with the 5 best top tips for both weight loss :

Weight loss

1.  Sugar Free Chewing Gum

Chew gum or eat mints. The act of chewing is part of the digestive process which helps to simulate the process of eating. It has two main effects on you; it distracts you from your feeling of hunger and it makes your body believe that you are eating. The power of the mind mustn’t be understated here – if you convince your body that you are not hungry (through chewing gum or mints) then you will stop feeling hungry. 

2. For dessert, fresh fruit or berries

After a meal I know a lot of you all crave something sweet, have just one portion of fruit will supply your body with good sugars and stop your craving for sweet food, stopping the temptation of cake or ice cream.

3. Drink a glass of water upon waking

The water you drink first think will kick start your metabolism for the day and also start your rehydration. We lose our hydration at night from breathing out moist air, sweating and digestion, so since we are not in taking any fluids while we sleep we become dehydrated.

4. High intensity training

The “Fat Burning Zone” shown on most cardio equipment as only 60%-65% of max heart rate is really a myth and is NOT optimal for burning fat. At higher intensities, you are burning far more fat. In addition, interval training allows you to exercise at very high intensities for a much longer period of time than steady state, so again you burn more fat. As an added bonus, there’s also an afterburn effect known as EPOC (excess-post exercise oxygen consumption) when using high intensity training. You burn more calories for up to 24 hours after interval training, whereas going for a slow steady jog burns very little.

5. Offer to be the 'designated driver'

If you go out for dinner and drinks with family and friends, offering to be the designated driver will save you hundreds of empty calories.
In addition to drinking fewer calories, you'll probably eat less as well because alcohol often makes us "let our guard down" and eat when we are no longer hungry.
