Most people in certain time of their life want to lost some weight.
There are many ways to lose weight, some are easy some are not. Some are costly and some are FREE.
One good way of reducing weight which I personally find it effective but tedious is to increase Metabolism rate of our body.
What is metabolism rate? How does metabolism works?
Metabolism actually 'control' whether to burn fats in our body for energy or to store fat in our body to use later.
The main source of energy our body get is from Glucose (know commonly as blood sugar). When our blood sugar runs low, it will burn the fats in our body to create energy. But when our blood sugar is high, metabolism will then store fats in our body to be use later.
So the next question is how to get metabolism to work for the better for our body?
EAT! Many people believe that by stop eating, you will lose weight. And they are right for a short time only. When you stop eating your metabolism will slow down because it sense that you do not have enough food. But when you start to eat, your blood sugar will jump sky high. Your metabolism will then store the extra blood sugar as fats.
The most important meal of the day is actually BREAKFAST! By taking breakfast will actually improve metabolism rate (surprise to many people). This should be done as soon as you have woke up or before you leave house for work every morning. This is just like starting your body engine in the morning. Your body sense that there is food, and metabolism rate actually increase at the start of the day.
Eat, but moderate eating. Eat smaller portion of meals but more meals than usual. This will keep your metabolism rate high as it sense that your body actually have constant supply of food. And of cause selection of food is very important. Eat right and eat light!
Eat more vegetable. Raw vegetables are good. Avoid the dressing, and if you find it difficult to eat totally without any dressing, start slowly. By reducing the dressing by 30%-40% or half for a week. And try to reduce as weeks passes by, this will be a much easier way of changing your diet slowly. Drastic change such as immediately avoid all dressing will usually back fired. People tends to give up more easily if it is too difficult.
I am not a doctor, I am writing base on my on experience. Some of the information here I got are from my talks with my dietician, because I use to be overweight.
Start right, be patient and have determination.
