5 Ways to Lose Weight and Keep From Eating Sweets

Do you have any other thoughts about obesity? Please share them with us.

Recent studies have revealed two of the leading reasons for obesity. The first reason is unhealthy eating habits, and the second is a sedentary lifestyle. However, a healthier lifestyle can be lived by revving up your metabolism thereby losing those dreaded excess pounds.
Your metabolism plays more of a crucial part to your weight than you can imagine. For instance, when you are not active, you are not burning up the necessary calories needed for permanent, natural weight loss. But don’t fear. You can easily take control of your metabolism and experience the natural weight loss you crave without having to go on a diet or starve yourself. In fact all you need do is apply any one of the following 5 tips to your daily routine

1.Eat 5 to 6 small's meals throughout the day.



Switch your 2 to 3 big meals a day, for 5 or 6 smaller meals of 300 calories each. You see, by keeping your smaller meals to 300 calories each, you consume a decent amount of complex carbohydrates in grains, vegetables and fruits. Therefore, you can keep your metabolism active throughout the day. And believe it or not, by eating regularly you can resist the temptation to snack on sugary, high fat foods.

2.Start your day with a healthy breakfast.
Believe it or not, skipping breakfast is the worst thing you can do to your metabolism. For instance, if your body has to wait for more than 16 hours for a meal, your body begins to believe you are starving, and goes into starvation mode which is not good. After all, once your body is in starvation mode, it begins to store whatever food you eat, thus allowing your body to take on weight rather than trying to burn it.

3.Exercise.
Altering your diet can do only so much to help your metabolism. To really succeed in achieving healthy weight loss you need to put exercise into your daily lifestyle. For instance, you can try doing some aerobic activities such as running, walking, swimming or cycling into your day before you have breakfast. What this does, is enable your body to burn off fat before you throw in some stomach crunches and weights in order to speed up your metabolism.

4.Get active.
Exercise is not the only way to give your metabolism a jump start. What speeds up your metabolism, is just moving around throughout the day. In fact, you can try taking the stairs instead of the lift or going for a quick 5-10 minute walk on your lunch break. Believe it or not, this will not only speed up your metabolism, but will keep you feeling refreshed.

5.Take control of your drinking.
It is well known that alcohol is not healthy, nor is it good for your metabolism. So how can you get your metabolic rate back on track? Genuinely try cutting down on your alcohol intake, or better yet, completely cut it out of your life altogether. Take it from one who knows. I am a recovering alcoholic. It is true that by not drinking alcohol, but drinking water instead, you will be able to greatly reduce your calorie intake. You see, by increasing your water intake will enable your body to function more efficiently.
