To them, it sounds like what a famous Nigerian musician called "story
for the gods." Some people have tried to adopt some fitness routines
and even took to eating healthier foods on a daily basis, yet the
figures on the scale have refused to slide downward.
I totally agree that it is frustrating not to see the desired result
after putting in so much effort over a period of time. Add some of the
following tips to your fitness routine and see how they assist you to
lose weight and achieve your health aim in no time.
Drink more water:According to recent studies, water has been found to
be able to aid weight loss. So, besides keeping you hydrated, drinking
water regularly can also aid your weight loss achievements. Filling up
on water before a meal helps to control the portion you eat. And also,
water serves as a cleanser in your body. Adding lemon to your drinking
water on a daily basis will aid your weight loss.
Don't overeat healthy food:This is where most of us get it wrong. That
a food is classified as healthy doesn't mean that you should eat it in
excess. Note that foods that are classified as healthy foods are not
void of calories. They only contain lesser calories than the unhealthy
foods. Eating them in excess will therefore put you at a risk of
eating more calories.
Inadequate sleep: Making out enough time to sleep is very important if
you are trying to lose weight, because your body actually takes shape
when you are asleep. The result of your workout is processed when you
are sleeping. Furthermore, you need extra energy to keep up with your
exercise routine, and skimping on sleep can affect your body's ability
to control its appetite.
Eat enough vegetables and fruit:Actually, this is among one of the
very important rules you must keep to if you want to lose weight. Most
people try to keep up with this but don't do enough to cause a
significant change in their weight.
