Eat to lose weight
If you try to lose weight for the sake do not starve!
.
Instead, change what you eat - not quantity - you eat, to finish your meal with feeling full, not frustrated. Instead of eating a big dish of spicy chili, eat a bowl of gazpacho as fat, instead of a piece of berry pie, eat a container full of juicy strawberries. In other words, cut in calories and fat, not much food. It works, scientists say.
.
Recent searches shows that eating fresher and lighter while maintaining portion control is a good way to lose weight. This means eating foods with high water content such as melons, tomatoes, cucumbers, green vegetables, carrots, reasons, oranges, jicama, radishes - almost all raw vegetables and most fruits - as well as nonfat dairy products and soups made with broth.
.
In the study, participants reported feeling satisfied after eating large portions of foods low in calories. Moreover, when the food portions are high in calories reduced, participants reported feeling deprived and hungry after eating.

Max Blood Sugar After Meal
Tribute to exercise
Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia, have recently measured the body fat of a group of rats, and after a little over two years without exercise, rats have increased by about 25% of their body fat. "Not knowing that it is possible to get food at any time, the body stores, as fat, all that do not burn the body to operate, "says Frank Booth, PHDM, professor of biomedical studies and co-author of the study.
.
Further studies are needed to measure and quantify this observation in humans. However, the message is clear: what you do not burn through exercise, the body will store as fat.

You sleep, you lose the appeal
A recent study by Columbia University the City of New York, shows that people who sleep less tend to weigh more. In this study, men and women who slept only six hours of sleep a night were 23% more likely to be overweight than those who sleep on average 7-9 hours per night.
.
"The amount of the hormone ghrelin increases in people not sleeping enough," says researcher James Gangwisch, PhD, "which causes an increase in appetite and food intake."
.
You have trouble falling asleep? A study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, shows that melatonin supplements may help you fall asleep faster.

terraces ... without the calories
For many of us, the summer heat rhyme with sunny terraces, where it is nice to relax with a light meal and an iced drink. But it serves sandwiches, often based on cold meats or salad and accompanied by fried mayo, these terraces may become the haunt of calories unsuspected. Indeed, it is not because there's a bit of grated carrot and alfalfa on our plate that is free from large amounts of calories! If you're watching your weight, take the trouble to make informed choices as a summer day!
- Instead of frying, use a grill.
- Replace fatty meats (sausage, smoked meat, sausages, etc..) By choosing leaner as ham, chicken or turkey.
- Beware toppings as chicken salad, pollock or tuna: they often overflow of mayonnaise!
- If you order a salad, ask that the dressing is served separately. You can thus control the amount.
- drinks side, take a version of "diet" of a soft drink or choose a sparkling water.
- If the restaurant where you are served large portions (as is often the case), remember to request a half portion or share a plate with another guest.
Think the restaurant
- Order a half-serving main course or appetizer or share an entrée with someone. With a soup, it is often good enough.
- It is not necessary to finish your plate if you're full. Eat slowly and pay attention to your hunger signals. And there's no shame in asking to take the leftovers!
- Beware of table d'hote and buffets and especially phrases "at will". We often eat more than our hunger because it is included in the price.
- Opt for smaller portions. The small size of popcorn at the cinema or the small fry at the restaurant.
- Know when to say no to larger sizes for a few pennies more. We accept without thinking ... and without being hungry!
Smaller portions at home
- Serve meals on smaller plates. As the plate is full, it seems to eat more.
- buy and prepare smaller quantities of food.
- If you drink high calorie beverages (soft drinks, juices, alcoholic drinks), serve in a tall glass and thin. It was the impression of having more than a small glass wide.
- Ask yourself if you're really hungry before taking second helpings.
- Limit the amount of snacks by serving on a plate. You'll be less inclined to continue to "dip" in the bag or box.
