I Need To Lose Weight Last Famous Words
I Need To Lose Weight-Last Famous Words If you are saying to yourself, "I need to lose weight", then guess what? You need to lose weight. See, along with changing your diet and exercise habits comes the emotional side of losing weight. Losing weight is a process that takes dedication and perseverance. If you have a lot of belly fat you may know that stress causes to the body to produce a hormone called Cortisol. Cortisol encourages fat to stay around your belly and increases your risk for heart disease and diabetes. Two of the most dangerous conditions you want to do anything you can to avoid in life. Learn some techniques to decrease the stress in your life. Meditation is a good technique to use to decrease stress. Yoga is another good way. Actually, just getting some regular daily exercise will go a long way to decreasing your stress level. Positive thinking can do wonders, too. Try to think more positively about your life and your weight loss. If you do then the extra pounds will be long gone in no time. Getting enough good sleep is also a big part of losing weight. If you are on the "I need to lose weight" bandwagon then try getting an extra hour or two of sleep at night. The human body needs 7-9 hours of sleep per night and when you do not get it your metabolism starts to slow down and your body does not work the way it should. Those of us who work the night shift really have screwed up metabolisms. We were all meant to sleep at night not during the day. Certain chemical reactions happen when the body readies itself for sleep and those chemcial reactions are on a timetable just like everything else in the world. When darkness falls, it signals the body to begin preparations for sleep. The body produces a chemical called Melatonin that helps your body relax for when it is bedtime. People who suffer from insomnia may not produce enough Melatonin and therefore do not sleep well. OK, so, you have been trying to lose weight and things just aren't working the way you would like. Are you drinking enough water? If you answer that you drink enough fluids then my next question is, do you drink pop or other sweetened drinks? If you do you need to stop. Regular pop, diet pop and other sweetened drinks are called empty calories because they have no nutritional value. The only thing they do is add to your excess fat. Did you know that if you do nothing else but stop drinking pop you can lose approximately 40 pounds in a year, give or take. Diet pop is sweetened with artificial sweeteners and is basically poison. Diet pop actually tricks your body into staying fat. When you drink diet pop the body thinks it is getting something of value and when it realizes you were just foolin' the brain signals the stomach that it is still hungry and you end up eating much more than you would have if you had just had a glass of water. Stick with the water and maybe some green tea. The green tea gives you an added benefit of antioxidants that are so important for your health and it tastes great, too. Pretty soon you will not be saying, "I need to lose weight."
