As you read in the first part of this article, some new program will be out there professing that their “brand-new” nutrition plan will help you to lose weight immediately. Here are the last 2 easy to follow suggestions that will help you to eat healthier and get slimmer in a way that you can stick with for life.
Eat Healthier Tip #4 – Don’t Be Late for Dinner
Or eat late at all really. It takes time for your food to digest and your body needs time to burn calories before you turn in for the night. Select a time several hours before you go to bed and simply do not eat after that time. I will not eat anything after 8:00 and this gives my body a good 3 hours to digest and burn calories before I hit the hay. It can take some planning to have things ready beforehand to allow you time to eat dinner early enough, but it will quickly become a routine.
Eat Healthier Step #5 – Remember Your Youth
As a disclaimer, this is not at all scientifically based. This is my wife’s hypothesis, and the more people that I talk to, and as I read further, the more I think she may be on to something. Her belief goes that your body gets used to the way you ate growing up, and learns to process those kinds of foods better than others. If you ate rice everyday (like she did) growing up, your body is not going to know what to do with a low/no carb diet. People who were raised in other cultures often become sick or have a “heavy” feeling when eating western food, even if it seems well balanced. If your childhood foods were very high in trans-fats, know that I am not advocating a poor diet, but be think about the healthier foods you ate in abundance and don’t elimintate them from your diet.
Between the two sections, there are five accessible to follow tips. If you want to lose weight and feel better, these steps give you a great jumping off point. But keep reading, and stick with it! The important thing to remember is that you can do it. It will be hard at times, and it won’t always be fun, but believe me it is worth it. I feel better than I have in a long time, and I know that I look better too!
