Losing weight rank highly in the to-do list of majority of people and research shows that it is the single issue that is common in all New Year resolutions made by people regardless of their nationality, race, culture, age and gender. With recent reports indicating that weight gain is a major risk factor in development of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer and cardiovascular diseases, more people are finding it necessary to reduce and monitor their weight in a bid to remain physically fit, healthy and in so doing keeping these diseases at bay. If you have some pounds to cut and you do not have the time and money to join a fitness club, you need to find other safe, fast and cost effective ways of losing at home. Here are a few pointers on how to reduce weight in the comfort and confines of your home.
You are most likely
dealing with weight problems not because you eat huge amounts of food but
because of the types of foods you take, when you take them and why you eat
them. To reduce weight and to keep the weight off, you need to consume more fiber,
proteins, vegetables, essential oils and some starch and keep off deep fried
foods, fizzy and carbonated drinks and yes keep off the cakes too. Ensure that
you do not skip your meals and it is important that rather than eating three
large meals, you eat meals in small portions spread across the day while
drinking at least eight glasses of water. It is recommended that you eat when
you are actually hungry and not to deal with your emotions. Most people eat
when they are experiencing varying emotions and gain weight as a result
There are numerous ways
you can engage in regular exercise without ever stepping into the gym. You
simply can walk or cycle rather than drive to work, take the stairs, take
charity walks, sweep the compound, jog around the block, skip a rope, dance to
your favorite music and often neglected, exercise using aerobic DVDs, yes they
work when you are consistent.
3. Sleep
After working out, you need time to relax and this you can do comfortably when asleep. Studies show that lack of the recommended eight hours of sleep can contribute to your gaining weight. Lack of sleep stimulates the body to release the hormone ghrelin, which is an appetite-stimulating hormone that compels you to snack and even binge unnecessarily resulting in weight gain. The key is to sleep, sleep and sleep.
