It's not so difficult to lose weight, if you take the time and effort to adhere to the rules and regulations on this matter. Losing weight just means you have access to the right information... and you take action on that information.
Little time lapses from one meal to another maintain the sugar levels in your blood and don't allow them the chance that they would have taken to fall below par. You are better able to keep your hunger in check when you are able to stabilize your blood sugar, and the result of this is that you are also able to keep the temptation in check when next you eat.
Below is one very important guide to right weight loss.
- Avoiding eating calories and instead focusing on consuming them by drinking.
Losing weight is hard enough for people when they don't have to encounter this problem, no thanks to the fact that they have smoothies, protein drinks, and weight loss shakes all over the place that are meant to help discard the excess pounds. The thing about these fluid replacements for your food can be found in these two little points.
For one thing, smoothies, diet shakes, and protein drinks generally have more sugar in them than your body has need of. The problem with this is that it raises your blood sugar suddenly and sharply, so that your body is forced to release a lot of insulin to control the raise, which even causes it to crash.
Seriously, you don't want your body/system doing this erratic see-saw of blood hormones because it hampers your weight loss program for one, and it isn't really good for your health... for two.
In addition, the average shake designed for weight loss does not even have fiber content. For someone on a diet, you really should not overlook the critical importance of fiber. With fiber, you feel fuller than you are; and the rise of insulin in your body in order to curtail your blood sugar rise is also blunted by it. Sure, there is fiber in fruit smoothies; but you do know that you can reach the fiber better when you eat the pulp from the fruit itself, and not from the brew.
Besides, you may not know it, but the volume of calories in your real food is often not as much as the volume of it that may be packed into the smoothies or shakes that you drink in equal quantity. The fruit smoothie won't even make you feel that full, whereas you could have consumed up to 600 calories in 16 oz. of it. But if you try to chew through all of 600 calories in fruit, you know you will not be able to get past it in one try, when you come to think of it - I mean, who really can sit and wolf down bananas weighing as much as two pounds worth.
Think it through carefully; you want the calories you eat to make the most difference for you when you so badly want to lose weight, no?You don't want to be needy for another 'diet' drink so shortly after you fill up with one, now, or don't you think so?
