To Live A Healthy Life and Lose Weight

If you are overweight and desire to live a healthy life, you have to decide what to do. Lack of discipline is a barrier or you just wan‘t to get on with the weight loss diet and finish it in a week or two. But everybody wish to live a healthy life. Thus you need a plan. Plan that contains: Goals, what kind of weight loss program you prefer and what kind of exercise you will do while you follow the chosen program.

In general, you have to reduce or eliminate white flour, you should cut out all sugar and artificial sweeteners from your diet and also refined foods.  For people in weight loss program it‘s important to become experts in reading labels because sugar can be added to almost everything, including savoury foods as ketchup, baked beans and bread. Sugar is sometimes hidden on the ingredients label so it looks like there is lesser or no sugar in it, so you should look for words with the ending –ose (fructose, glucose, sucrose)

It‘s important that you intake protein in every big meal over the day. Protein stabilises blood sugars aiding in „fat loss“ Natural proteins can be taken in meat, fish, poultry and some dairy products. You should intake about 20 gr of proteins in every meal. That's about 100 gr of meat. Eat lot of fruits and vegetables for carbohydrate foods and also in lesser amounts brown rise and wholegrain. Minimise refined or processed carbohydrates such as sugar, sweets, chocolate, dried fruit and fruit juices (they are not as healthy as you might think).

Omega oils are vital for us to live a healthy life so include omega oils in your diet. These allow your cell membranes to work efficiently, slow the absorption of carbohydrate into your bloodstream and make food taste good. Good examples are oily fish (salmon), flax seed oil, safflower and sunflower oil. Avoid saturated fats found in organ meats, fat on red meat, high fat dairy foods and coconut. These tend to make the cell membrane very rigid so blood sugar cannot pass easily into the cell.

Tips to live a healthier life and effective weight loss

• Take regularly vitamins and minerals, if haven‘t done so yet, it might explain poor results in earlier weight loss programs. 
• Eat before you shop groceries to avoid poor shopping and plan your grocery shopping in advance by making a shopping list, and stick with it. 
• Park your car far away on the supermarkets parking lot. It is a form of exercise to walk a little. 
• Chew your food well. If you do so you actually eat less. 
• Eat at least six meals a day, in smaller amounts. Never let more than four hours pass between meals, if there are more than four hours between meals it gives our brain a signal that there is not enough food and our metabolism slows down. Healthy snacks such as fruit should always be with in reach. 
• Exercise. An example for exercise is to go out for a half an hour and walk around your neighbourhood. Believe me it helps against weight loss. There are two important rules about exercise: First of all, find your type of exercise you enjoy doing. Second but not least, start slowly and build your self into the exercise.
