How To Change Eating Habits & Lose 10 Pounds

How To Change Your Eating Habits To Lose 10 Pounds You look in the mirror

and don't have a problem with your appearance, except for slight chubbiness..

Standing on the scale proves your guess: you've gained 10 extra pounds.

Maybe you've heard stories about men and women who've lost many pounds in

only a few days. While a few people may have quickly lost weight, they

probably went through tough times. Most quick weight loss methods demand

that you follow extreme diets, which you'll end up hating and quitting.

On the other hand, you can avoid quitting your diet by not going on a

restrictive diet. Instead, change your eating habits for good. You may lose

weight slower with this method, but you won't suffer hardship.

How can you put the slow weight loss method to work for you? First, you

could write out all foods that you eat since they make weight gain possible..

Don't just jot down desserts, like sweet potato pie and ice cream sundaes.

Instead, take note of everything, including the glazed donut that you grab

on the way to work or late night snacking. By seeing your complete eating

habits, you can make better choices and changes.

Let's say you record your eating habits and find that you snack too often:

you actually have mini-meals before and after lunch. Ask yourself, "Am I

really hungry at these times, or do I eat for the sake of eating?" Perhaps

that bowl of sugary cereal in the morning leaves you empty on energy by 10

a.m. Since you can't have lunch, you have a family size bag of corn chips.

Here the solution can be to switch to a hearty, whole-grain, and sugar-free

cereal so you get energy that lasts longer.

Another aspect of the slower weight loss method concerns listening to cues

from your body. Cues are signs that tell you that you need to eat more or

that you should stop eating, but cues can be tricky. Most of us can't

interpret these cues without letting at least 15 minutes pass, since human

bodies take this amount of time to absorb food.

For instance, you've eaten two servings of meat loaf and a slice of

chocolate cake. Now your stomach growls, asking for more food, yet you wait

15 minutes before putting another morsel in your mouth. While you wait, you

read a novel- 15 minutes pass and you discover you're full.

One additional technique for the slower weight loss method involves enjoying

every bite of food, from the moment the food enters your mouth. You taste

the tangy lemon zest in the Romaine salad or the creaminess of cheddar

cheese on your macaroni. By savoring what you eat, you learn to appreciate

food. And you develop self-control by finding satisfaction in eating

moderately.

You can see why changing your eating habits makes losing 10 pounds easier—

you don't use any drastic measures. Instead, you focus on long-term choices

that fit your lifestyle. By following these tips, you can change your eating

habits to lose 10 pounds and keep the extra weight gone forever.

Goodness, is this written by an Ayurvedic Dr? For an Indian based list?

Surely you still live on curry and flat breads? Having mainly only ever

eaten Indian foods in ashrams, and a little in Indian restaurants, I am very

surprised at the items you mention here - but world wide in the dietary

business it is agreed that as well as fats, it is mainly the combination of

foods that enables people to stack on the weight even if they do eat

healthily, and as Dr Bhate has pointed out, the hormonal system is the one

that stipulates where the fat cells go - down the drain or on the body - the

choice of the deposit being entirely the choice of the hormone you suffer

from. So regardless of dietary changes, surely a detox is essential before

anything will change - whether and whatever you may choose to eat. I can

eat nothing but a few vegetable juices and herb teas for up to 5 months and

loose no weight at all - so detox has to fit in here somewhere in order to

change the body's decision making. Yes even if you do "drink your solids and

eat your liquids", which simply means you mix the saliva well with

everything before you swallow, or taking all sustenance as prasad, even then

you still need to clean the body's filters before you pour more into it -

saliva on its own may just not be strong enough to clear the sludge!
