Some Tips To Help You Control Your Weight

By Brian

Weight loss can be down right tiresome with all the things that we can, should and cannot do to eat right.

You've probably been told that you should or shouldn't eat this and that in all the weight loss plans that you've seen.

Craving food can be the effect of those weight loss programs that ask you to eat half as much as you used to but exercise all the time.

Low calorie diets only have a certain effect on the body as found in some recent studies. It was found that our bodies utilize and absorb more nutrients from food we like and that dieting alone may not prevent heart disease.

Replacing all the chicken in your diet with vegetables (although good for you) may not be doing you as much good as you think.

When you smell something you like, your brain tells your stomach to activate and produce more digestive juices. These juices help break down proteins and metabolize it into your body better.

However, before you start eating everything that smells nice in sight:

1) Chips, chocolate and all manner of junk food, although smelling good, need to be avoided. You need to eat food that has nutritional value in it. Vegetables and fruits are a good choice and you can prepare them in any way you like to eat it.

2) Ask yourself, why are you eating in the first place? Is it because there are people around and you are mingling? Is it stress or emotionally induced? Try and control the amount of food you are eating based on the situation.

3) Chew your food slowly. That's the best way to enjoy each and evey bite and gives your brain the time to register that you are getting full. There's a delay between you eating and your brain registering it as filling you up.
