If you want to lose weight but you are refusing to eat right, or you don’t know right from wrong in nutritional facts. Well, here’s a quick list of do’s and don’t.
1. Drink Water, Even when you are out and about, enjoying a good meal. Drink water with the food, if you must have a glass a wine, soda or juice, remember to finish that glass of water around the same time you finish your meal. Water will break the food down, therefore you will not feel as full. Another time to drink water is wake up in the morning and Before you go to sleep at night, I believe you should see results in a week. Don’t get me wrong, your stomach will not be flat but it will go do down as progress. Here’s why: According to www.mayoclinic.org drinking water during or after a meal aids digestion. Water and other liquids help break down food so that your body can absorb the nutrients. Water also softens stool, which helps prevent constipation. 2. Avoid Dairy Milk butter cheese, I have a weakness for cheese, milk is in everything, and I need butter to cook almost anything. Dairy is something we can’t escape. How I avoid it? By saying no or making a schedule to eat dairy throughout the week, make the same thing for sweets. Here’s why: According to thethirty.byrdie.com “Dairy is not ‘bad for digestion; however, some people are sensitive to it and have a harder time breaking down the casein in the dairy (a type of milk protein). Bloating, gas, constipation, and inflammation occur when you’re unable to digest dairy properly. Sensitivity to casein is not the same thing as lactose intolerance, which is the inability to break down and digest the lactose (milk sugar).” 3. Reduce Sugar Intake Sugar can easily be avoided or at least reduced in the diet, well easier than dairy. Sugar can be found in your breakfast lunch and maybe dinner. Most of all breakfast and lunch, the most sugar is found in breakfast everything chose to eat or drink is filled with sugar such as cereal, oatmeal, pancakes, jelly for toast, orange juice, and apple juice. If you must have sugar in the morning, I highly recommend fruit with water, not one piece of fruit, if you know that’s not going to fill you up. Or maybe that’s just me. I need to eat three bananas or one apple to be satisfied. Here’s why: According to www.livescience.com Sugar is very calorie-dense. So you can quickly consume a lot of sugar in soft drinks and in all kinds of food that contain added sugar. It’s not that the sugar calories are more fattening than any other calories. It’s just calories are calories, and sugar packs a lot. 4. Think Again Alcohol I’m not too much of a drinker, but I read somewhere a can of beer is the same amount of calories as a loaf of bread. Drinking is beneficial at some point, but I believe that it is just wine. Here’s why: According to spoonuniversity.com According to Michael Jensen, MD, “In general, alcohol intake is associated with bigger waists, because when you drink alcohol, the liver burns alcohol instead of fat.” “There’s a sandwich in every beer” because, calorie-wise, there are about two slices of bread for every 12 oz can of beer. The average slice of white bread has approximately 70 calories while the average beer has around 150 calories. Dividing the two, that’s a little over two slices per beer. Also, A serving of beer is 12 ounces, wine is five ounces, and liquor is 1.5 ounces. Caloric content varies based on the type of alcohol. Wine is around 150 calories on average, beer differs so significantly it’s impossible to pinpoint, and the lowest calorie liquors are clear rum at about 85 calories. However, for those who prefer cocktails, all that added sugar and mixers can easily make a mixed drink up to 300 calories. Everyone’s body is different; some may not agree with my advice. Water while eating may not be suitable for one person, then all of a sudden turns out to be good for the next person. Sugar may not affect you, but it will have an impact on your friend. Etc. Etc. Everyone is different, find out what is best for you before deciding to diet. Pay attention to your body and food intake.
