1.
Drink plenty of water. Our body needs a lot of water so give in to
water. Water is not just way to flush out toxin but if you have more
water in your body you will generally feel healthier and fitter. This it self
will discourage any tendency to gorge. The best thing about water is that is has
no calories at all.
2.
Start your day with a glass of water. As soon as you wake up, gulp
down a glass of cool water. It’s a wonderful way to start you day and you
only need a lesser quantity of your breakfast drink after that. A glass of
water lets out all your digestive juices and sort of lubricates the insides of
your body. You
may have your morning cup of tea but have it after a glass of
water. It is good for you.
3.
Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally
needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff
yourself.
4.
Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again
this is another way of making yourself full so that you can actually rise
from the table eating less but feeling full just the same. Instead of
drinking it one gulp, take sips after each morsel. It will help the food to settle
faster so that you get that feeling that you are full faster.
SIDE NOTE: Water is such a remarkable
thing, but seldom do we give it the credit that it deserves. Did you know that over 66% of your body weight is nothing but water? It’s amazing! Water also plays a vital role in weight control, which is why I donated so much space to it, above.
5.
Stay away from sweetened bottle drinks, especially sodas. Hey all
those colas and fizzy drinks are sweetened with sugar and sugar means
calories. The more you can cut out on these sweetened bottle drinks, the better
for you.
So if you must drink sodas, then stick to diet sodas.
6.
Include in your diet things that contain more water like tomatoes
and watermelons. These things contain 90 to 95 % water so that there
is nothing that you have to lose by feasting on them. They fill you up
without adding to the pounds.
7.
Eat fresh fruit instead of drinking fruit juice. Juice is often
sweetened but fresh fruits have natural sugars. When you eat fruit, you are taking
in a lot of fiber, which is needed by the body, and fruits of course are an
excellent source of vitamins.
8.
If you do have a craving for fruit juice then go for fresh fruit
juice instead of these that contain artificial flavors and colors. Or even better,
try making your own fruit juice taking care not to sweeten it with too many
calories.
9.
Choose fresh fruit to processed fruits. Processed and canned
fruits do nothave as much fiber as fresh fruit and processed and canned fruits
are nearly always sweetened.
10.
Increase your fiber intake. Like I mentioned, the body needs a lot
of fiber. So try to include in your diet as
many fruits and vegetables as you can.
