17 ways that can help put that weight under some control!
Do you have friends or colleagues that eat and eat and eat and never put any weight on and have the freedom of eating what they like and have no metabolic weight gain shock?
Its commonly surprising that thin people, or slim people have been often judged and prejudice just as people who are “fat” or overweight. The only difference being is that the questions are usually “Are the anorexic? Do they spend hours on a treadmill? Are they leasing a home gym? Are they thin because of naturally they born with it? Is it there metabolism?”
We got together and decided that you need 17 habits that will change you around and become a “thin person”, which automatically morphs in the category of happiness and a wage increase is in it somewhere! Remember: these tips are short and simple, easy to remember and easy to practice.
You may find this surprising but eating to much can lead to many negatives in your life. Excessive eating has become an ultimate norm in society where you are bombarded with vending machines and consummation on every corner of the street. Its hard not to find a fast food place or a place not to avoid snacks. Try not eating a single snack for a week (crisp, fizzy drink, chocolates, gum and sweets) and notice how much difference it makes you mentally – first of all you gain patience, discipline and perseverance by pacing yourself and considering the good, and placing hardship in exchange for long term happiness. Secondly eating excessively abstains you away from serenity and inner peace. You forget about becoming healthy and stop focusing on fitness and happiness, you start to chase desire.
A famous proverb is that if you imagine a large basin filled with water, its bottom is damaged with a hole the size of a walnut and its always loosing water. Now you have already contradicted your imagine because the basin is never filled with water, its always attempting to be filled by someone. No matter how much water you add, you will result in loosing more than you put in. In fact the faster you add the water, the more pressure and speed which it will come out with. Take this example and imagine eating and eating. Loosing weight is not an option. Its good to be bit and healthy, mentally and physically – this sentence alone could have a archive attached to it!
Change my life

1. Completely avoid junk food
Enjoy 3 meals a day. Include fresh vegetables, nuts and almonds, protein and make sure that you are having balanced meals. Look at point 16 about eating too much.
2. ENJOY water
Enjoy water with your meals, your body needs plenty of hydrated cells and no replacement exists better than water – abstain from tea and fizzy drinks. Even having tea and fizzy drinks before 4pm can result in long term insomnia! Water makes up 80% of our bodies so keep the balance in and avoid junk food. Perseverance! Enjoy water when your training at home, running, at your gym – wherever you are enjoy. Sorry to say that its cleaner than some parts of the world if your reading this.
3. Not worrying about your weight
Seriously don’t go worrying about your weight. You know its a problem. Worrying at the start is a good thing because with some fear there is some obedience which is followed by action. Worrying and thinking will not get anything done.
Always think positive. Tell yourself that “I am happy, I have a fit body, I am healthy and I am at my right weight.”
4. Eat Breakfast

Never skip breakfast. And don’t let the thought cross your mind. It keeps you set for the rest of the day and wakes the body up and turns on your brain. Plane, farm, train, work, school, car, walk – donkey – wherever you are make sure you have a good breakfast.
5. Consistent eating
Skipping a meal never a good way to lose weight. In fact you are damaging your stomach by not eating, becoming more prone to disease and doing only harm to yourself. Never skip any meals hoping your going to lose weight. You will lose your health not your weight when skipping a meal.
6. Think about your meal
If you notice what your eating and only focus and think about your eating like many thin people, you will realise it takes a lot of fun out of your food. Relax and enjoy your food, there is a difference between “legless” and being content. Enjoy your food as it will make you feel better, more appreciative, but you in a better mood and make you think and loosing everything you have eaten when you go back to training.
7. Take heed of common food types

Avoid foods like bread as it gives you the feeling of a full stomach. It actually slowly begins to expand your intestines so if you eat it lightly you will find yourself easily feel full, but having expanded your belly in the process. A good replacement for toast is honey and warm water in the morning slowly sipped which can leave you full and empty and also some cereal with chopped bananas.
8. No deserts or ice creams
A moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips.
9. Time your eating
Stick to your 3 meal schedule as discussed in point one. As in many cases, the feelings like anxiety, disappointment, anger, loneliness, depression or sadness are misinterpreted as hunger and people to eat more in regards to this, it is called emotional eating and it should be avoided at all times and all costs. Be aware of when you are eating and your mood and your surroundings. Food impacts your memory channels too, tip to remember: is when your eating happy food like waffles on the weekend, you feel happy as if subliminally thinking of the time you were sat eating waffles and beans whilst your mum washed the dishes on Sunday and you were getting ready for football league.
10. Don’t eat that now!
Imagine your coming home from work and you feel like eating. Generally we all consider eating on the way back from work and the devilish naughty thought of sneaking a fast food drive way before coming home reaches everyone’s minds – go to a fast food restaurant after work hours, 5.10 onwards – its all suits and single people driving cars. You get the picture. Healthy people and fit people are single minded and will automatically eat at home according the eating schedule. Patience and perseverance result in longer outcome success.
11. I am tired
Many people consider eating tiring and some people even say that they are too tired to eat. If your really so tired eating, firstly consider it is a positive as its less fat – so as not to break the positive thinking span, lastly consider the overruling negative thought that is enough to replace the positive though by eating something as its safer and according to schedule and its not emotional eating.
12. Sleep

Many people who came into the choice of sleep or eat – when you are tired but hungry at the same time and you have eating your three meals, drank your water and done a good honest day of labour there is no right and wrong here. Have a light snack but a snack could be some warm water with honey, or some mint tea. Fruits like Oranges can give you acid and other energy bursts which is not a good thing before you sleep.
Some quick tips if you can’t sleep:
- Make sure your room has no lights in it – lighting prevents sleeping so have curtains and cover even LED display alarm clocks.
- Empty your room of books, TV and Electronics – your room is only for sleep, if you have a mobile alarm clock (as its more silent) put it a distant so do not get up to check your phone or fiddle around when your trying to sleep
- Get up if your not tired, leave your room and come back – this will put your mind somewhere else, change your temperature so your body automatically goes back to sleeping system mode. A drop in temperature can relax the body just like a hot shower before you sleep
- See a doctor
- Do 40 press ups right before you sleep, near your bedside – mind the cabinet and do it till your exhausted and then climb into bed – this in a few months time will make your stronger, bigger, fitter and less deprived of sleep as your entire body is tired and your mind right before you hit the sack!
13. Snacking between your schedule
Is it ever OK to break the 3 meal schedule?
Staying in accordance to the three meal a day schedule.. Oatmeal, Apples which have lots of pectin which adds diet loss all over due to the fibre content, nuts, almonds, beans and eggs which are great for protein and less in fat and calories – they stop you from being hungry for a longer time too.
14. Never cheat
Most likely caused due to emotional eating. Stick with plan. Get patient. Keep at the gym. If your bored or a real desperate rope, hang tight or check our some aerobic gear out like a vibration plate.
15. I’m starving
No your not. Someone in the third world though is, and may take that offensive
There are alternative ways and looking at lucky point 13, it is ok to eat between your schedule, smaller portions. Its good that were not repeating any minor points, but some major points are enough to be repeated and smaller portions of (healthy) food are better than larger portions of food.
16. Dislike for an empty stomach
Muslims claim that the Prophet of God was the only man who went his life without ever filling his stomach. Imagine that! Many people, scientists and theologians have claimed that to purify your mind, heart and soul is to not go on a full stomach. Life is a journey, like that of roller-coaster for some, and everyone agrees that no ride is worth the visit if your going on a full stomach.
A good way to eat is to sit on your knees but make sure one of your legs is sat up and covering your stomach. This way you will eat less as you feel full because of the light pressure on the stomach. Its the best way to eat in the long run as you will lose weight and not have full and bloated stomach. So sit on your knees and lift one leg up so your knee is near your face, facing upwards and your body is now resting on this thigh and leg and then eat!
17. Leave it to me – do you really trust yourself

Yes it’s true now that you have read all the points or printed them to read when your sat in the gym lounge that your really going to go for it and trust yourself. Imagine now if you will that you come home after a incredible exhausting workout, it’s a hot day so you hit the sauna and steam room and hot tub and hot showers after your heavy session. You are feeling pretty good and just to top it off you splash cold water on the back of your neck to realize happy and stress relief enzymes that will cool down your brains high ways. So you arrive home only to find your family and distance family and cousin Joe from Steve’s wife’s Uncles cousin here to find him hitting a nice BBQ – do you consider the fact that you’re on a diet, that everyone is in your home and that is your BBQ machine they are using!
It’s easy to say to put things into practice but losing weight is no easy task and if it’s the example above you need to be careful of how to approach the situation, what you say and how you leave. If you’re serious about losing weight and turning your life around follow these steps for 4 weeks and your life will change drastically, even if it’s one step like sleeping earlier for a month – you will notice the change and then implement all the steps gradually.
