Weight Management



For many of us, losing weight can be extremely frustrating. There are a few options available as follows:

Skipping meals
Many of us have the thinking that skipping meals will greatly help in losing weight. In order to drop the kilos, all we need to do is to downsize the calories intake. It is the calories that matter most. We still can enjoy a nutritious meal if we are mindful of the calories intake. Skipping meals is definitely not the best solution as it is not the body fat that we are losing but water weight only. Eat healthy is easier than we think. Spread out our calories throughout the day into light main meals and small snacks. We are what we eat.

Eating fast
We have to eat slowly as research has shown that it takes about 20 - 30 minutes for our stomach to communicate with our head to signify that we are full. Do eat slowly to enjoy the food intake. Eating fast does more harm than good.

We usually have the impression that exercising will help in weight management. It does help to a certain extent. It will take a longer time to burn off the extra fat by only exercising. It is therefore much easier if we are sensitive to the calories intake.

Something for sharing.
