Ways to Control Your Hunger

1) You are invited to the dinner. Before leaving home, take a spoonful of milk powder and let it melt in your mouth. The "Bomb" with albumin cuts appetite.

2) Serve the water with several cubes of ice water (a cup). It automatically reduces consumption of wine and beer.

3) Avoid sweet and salty combination that produces appetite.

4) Drink every morning on an empty stomach, a glass of water with a teaspoon of apple vinegar. It is diuretic, detoxifying and increases fat burning.

5) Before you serve soups or sauces prepared by yourselves, remove the layer of fat.

6) Chew food well. Those who eat quickly and eat more air and feel swollen.

7) After a good meal, instead of digestive drink (alcohol), a cup of mint tea. Save at least 60 calories.

8) Give away the sweet liqueurs and aperitifs drinks. Drink only red or white wine. About the champagne - the sweet must be avoided, because it contains a lot of sugar.

9) Plan at least 30 minutes for each meal. Eat slowly, because the feeling of saturation is installed only after 15-20 minutes. Those who do not take into consideration this advice will eat too much.

10) A cup of broth or a serving of vegetable salad stops hunger. You will eat less of the main course.

11) Have 3 meals a day (5-6 hours apart), two snacks (at 11am and 4 -5pm), meals will be taken at fixed hours

12) Anti-stress: yoga, music, massage, aromatherapy, perfumed bath, a glass of warm milk

13) Consume Soy - reduces hunger, reduces cholesterol and contains iron, magnesium, calcium, Vitamin E, riboflavin, vitB1, B2

14) Drink a glass of warm water half an hour before meals or a glass infusion of valerian (10 grams Valerian to 1 liter of water)

15) Eat a quarter of an hour before meal a small amount of a good food choice, e.g. a small carrot, a few leaves of lettuce, a few tablespoons of yogurt, a piece of fresh cheese, a cold piece of white meat.

16) Assure your stomach "the bed of fibers" consuming before eating a small salad of raw vegetables - this will help you fill the stomach, digestion, relieve hunger and reduce the amount of food you eat.

17) Do not let your stomach empty too long, because as excess, stomach juices can cause diseases such as gastritis and ulcers. Eat three meals a day every 5-6 hours. Between meals, drink water or fruit juice.

Lose Weight? Not as hard as you think !

If you are here to learn how to lose weight fast and easy than put on those reading glasses my friend because you have come to the right place.

Short-term goals
Losing weight is not as hard as many people think, you just need to know how and then have the motivation to keep at it. The best way to get motivation is to see yourself achieving the goals you have, this is why it's important to have short-term goals so you can constantly feel you're getting results. Remember to put up new goals when you complete them, it's also important to not have too hard goals, especially in the beginning. If you have no idea of what goals you should have then a good beginner one is to lose one pound each week.

Processed foods
One of the most common mistakes people do when they're trying to lose weight is to eat processed foods. Your liver can't break down processed foods and therefore it's toxic for the liver, this will slow down your ability to break down fat. Instead you should focus on eating as unprocessed foods as possible, these kinds of food are natural and organic and almost all of them are healthy for you and will naturally burn fat. But don't be afraid of eating fat as longs as it's natural and organic. Instead of eating less food you should focus on the quality of the food. But don't forget to vary your meals widely so you get nutrients from many sources.

Water
The majority of people drink to little water; water is like a miracle beverage and will increase your health in many ways. Water will cleanse your body of toxins and increase your metabolic rate (how much your body burns fat). In fact the only beverage you should be drinking is water if you're super serious about losing weight, but I know that can be hard, but note that water is the only beverage that makes you lose weight. Drink half of your body weight in ounces every day, for example if you weigh 200 pounds then drink 100 ounces of water every day.

Changing your eating schedule
You should make the meals a little smaller and eat every 2-3 hours instead; the idea is not to eat less during the day but to make the intervals between each meal shorter. Then the body thinks you're in a very rich environment and you have no need to store some extra energy (fat) for later, great huh?

Now pay very close attention!
Losing weight and staying healthy can be easy but there is a lot of simple mistakes you can do that most people didn't know that actually makes you gain fat or puts your health in danger. If you really want to burn that fat off as fast as possible while still doing it in a natural healthy way you should.

Looking fat? Am I lazy?

Are we lazy or technologically dysfunctional?

Is the reason that there has been an increase in obesity due to the fact that adults in today’s society are lazy? Are we all just a bunch of lethargic couch potatoes that don’t do anything but sit around and eat all the time? I say no. Instead we are a product of our revolutionary, technological society. I am not saying we can blame technology, rather I am saying that as with our youth, the adults are also a reflection of the society that surrounds them. It isn’t an excuse, but it is a thought I pondered based on my typical day.

I get up in the morning, not to the sound of an aggravating buzz, beep, or the blaring of the radio. These alarms would get my blood racing right from the start, but I would hit snooze to stop the insanity. Then it would happen again, and again, the snooze bar. After a few times of this I am would now be late for work, rush to the shower if I even had time, rush to the car, and speed off to work. Not in today’s world. Instead, I wake to the soothing sound of the ocean on my Homedics radio and slowly wake peacefully. No blood pumping, no increased heart rate. I just have a nice and slow, easy awakening. Next I head to the shower where I put turn on my shower CD player and listen to something that I enjoy while I take my time letting the water almost run cold.

During my toweling off and getting dressed period of the morning, I can hear my coffee being made on the coffee maker that is set to make me a cup every morning with me not having to do a thing. While I sit and drink my coffee pondering the day ahead of me, I notice that it is almost gone, so I gently push a button on my key ring that starts my car and gets it nice and warm for me before I even get to it. I can then take my leisurely stroll to my car, get in, and have a nice peaceful drive to work (barring any unforeseen road rage).  Nothing like before when I had to run to my car because I was late most of the time due to the annoyance of my alarm or run because it was cold and then get in and shake and shiver for 10 minutes until it warmed up.

Once at work I find myself taking out my PDA and seeing what is on my agenda for the day. Nope, no more flipping through pages of my pocket calendar or scheduler. My work day is simple and uneventful, but instead of having to run back and forth through the office to get messages to everyone, I can now simply send an interoffice email with the push of a button. When it is time to leave, I again start my car from my office and drive home.

Arriving at home, I put in a microwave dinner that doesn’t have to be chopped up, cut up, stirred, blended, kneaded, poked, or even prodded. Push a few buttons and five minutes later I am sitting in front of the TV watching the shows I recorded on my cable’s digital recorder and eating my five minute, nuked meal. Would I have done this in the past? The answer is no, because I would have had to physically make something to eat, and there wouldn’t be anything on TV worth watching, so I would eat and go do something like yard work, clean the house, play with the kids, whatever, just something else to occupy the time. Oops, while I was eating, I got some crumbs on the floor and then dropped some more on the way back to the kitchen. Oh well, I will just push the button on my robot vacuum cleaner and let it clean the whole floor as it is preprogrammed to do.

Finally, my day is coming to an end and instead of doing something really constructive before I go to bed, I can’t resist the opportunity to surf the Internet for a little while, maybe chat to some friends or relatives, and check my email. Besides, I have to plug in my PDA to the computer anyway. Now my lazy or technologically dysfunctional day is complete.

This whole story brings me back to my question that started the whole thing. Am I lazy or am I just a product of my environment. It is this author’s opinion that I am both. Years ago, even the simple things like making the dinner would be exercise, but now it is too easy because it is done for you in a box. Everything today is easy and most adults are on the heavy side, because things are easier and don’t take as much energy. That doesn’t mean we in society are lazy, it means we don’t have to exert ourselves as much to accomplish the every day routines that are needed to complete the day. However, I could stop by the gym on my way home, or go for a walk after dinner, so I am also lazy too. The Internet just pulls me in night after night and I can’t seem to make myself do anything else after dinner. Shame on you technology for holding that gun to my head!
