• Stop fearing fats and make it your friend

The biggest problems with fats, is that it is the most feared food group. Many of us don’t know that all fats are not bad; actually some of them are so important that they are a must for healthy weight loss and other health aids. They help in feeling satiated and prevent binge eating. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are the ones that are very healthy and is a must addition to your diet. You can get them in avocados, nuts, olives and fatty fishes like salmon, herring and tuna.

• Many of us believe that sleeping is just waste of time

In the fast living world of increasing demands and the urge to flourish, people have started believing that sleeping is just pure waste of time. It is just the opposite. Lack of sleep or sleep deprivation increases the stress levels of the body. It weakens our immunity, fogs our memory and we are always at higher risks of depression. And above all these leads to weight gain.

It’s just as simple as: Lack of sleep blocks the weight loss process, as the less we sleep the more time we get to eat and the more we gain as body weight.

• Stop working and multitasking while are eating

This is one of the biggest mistakes that we all make. Especially at times when we are when we are powered through your work. We carry our foods to our working tables. But, the fact is that when we are eating, we should only be eating and concentrates on it. It is so because, it promotes mindless eating.

The best way is to step away from your work table and turn off the television while you are eating and sit on the dining table and eat.

• Stop skipping meals, especially your breakfast

One of the biggest mistakes that we all make is by thinking that eating less by skipping meals is the best way to lose weight. We all need to change this. The truth is just the opposite. The more we starve ourselves that more we push ourselves to weight gain.

There are two reasons behind it. The first is that it makes us eat more in our next meals and the second is that it slows down our metabolism. When we eat less, our body turns on the emergency mode. It starts believing that we are food deprived and turns to storage mode. It starts storing the foods that turns into fats in the body.

• Never give a miss to the veggies on your plate, eat them first

Never forget to get vegetables on your plate and make sure you eat them first. Eating vegetables in the beginning of your meals and especially when you are hungry. This will make you eat lesser calories. It is a natural habit to eat something the last or avoid if possible, something that we like the least.

Veggie helps us keeping fuller, enrich us with fibers and other valuable nutrient the body needs to stay healthy and lose weight.

These are few of the many subtle things that either we change or remove from our everyday life and make weight loss an easy and achievable goal along with staying healthy. But always keep in mind that weight loss is not a sprint, but a marathon.
