Sleep Tips

  1. Make sure that you get the right amount of sleep. Sleeping for at least 8 hours in the night and 2 hour naps in the day really makes a huge difference in losing weight.
  1. Sleep in a dark room. Believe it or not, this will make your weight loss a breeze. Getting to how it happens is that when every single part of the body is relaxed, it starts doing some body fixing business. Now, this business takes place when the lights are off and you sleep peacefully and have dreams. Waking up suddenly breaks the whole fat killing cycle and instead leads to fat producing. The system start acting the opposite. It’s always best to wake up slowly, peacefully, and at your own time. If you are aware of how much time you usually sleep,you should go to bed early to fill in those hours. Usually we wake up with alarms, which is not good. It disturbs your body; be sure to sleep at such a time in which you don’t need alarms. Alarms are usually put on because we think that our big body is not responsible enough to wake us up. Don’t worry, the body does not sleep more than it needs.
  2. Keep a glass of water beside you. We usually wake up due to thirst. That is because the body needs the water’s energy so that it can kill even more of that fat. Try not to give a gap in fetching water. That can disturb your body and will make it difficult for you to sleep.
  3. Sleep straight! This is really important. Sleeping on either sides of the body makes it hard for blood to run around which also helps in weight loss.
  4. When you are lying straight on the bed before sleeping,take deep long breaths and hold them for as long as you can. Don’t breath in a hard way but do it slowly. This will act as a command for the body to make you sleep and start flushing down fats.
  5. Have a nice sleep. Forget all those duties and test notes and just fall in to a deep slumber, a deep and peaceful one. The body isn’t fit until it gets a nice sleep! It is going to take about 3-4 days.

Tips

  • Eat slowly and chew slowly. It takes about 20 minutes for your stomach to digest food.
  • Get very good at saying no when people (or your own appetite) offer you food that will sabotage your diet. Think of saying, “No” as a healthier lifestyle choice. That should inspire you to take care of your body. Feed it only when needed.
  • Listen to your body, it can tell you what it needs (thirst=water, hunger=small snack) and when it wants you to stop packing in junk, or when you’re full. Don’t eat out of habit or boredom or you’ll gain weight.
  • You can’t lose weight off one particular spot. Doing more sit-ups will not give you a flat stomach. It will just build muscles in that area. You will lose weight off the parts of your body that you are genetically designed to lose.
  • Cut out the sugars (no hard/chewy candies, or chocolates pastries/cookies) to avoid your gaining the next 5 pounds.
  • Plan out your meals and snacks for the day. Don’t leave a lot of room for random high-fat snacking.
  • Fitness will pay off in the long run, and it will actually make you feel much better/more satisfied than eating the bad fatty/sugary foods.
  • This is not a fad diet, this is a way of eating for life. Once you’re at your goal weight, you can tone down the intense-exercise a tad, but don’t stop or metabolism rates will fall.
  • Leave up little inspirations around your house, such as your workout room or kitchen, to remind you of your goals and to motivate you!
  • Weigh yourself once a week and keep track of your progress. If you weight disappoints you too much — then you can check it the next day or two to see how weight varies from day to day.
  • Make a list of stuff you can do when you feel like eating but you shouldn’t because you’re really not hungry.
  • Try sucking a mint, it’s better than chewing gum because your stomach is full of air if you chew it and it will make you hungry.
  • Don’t overdo the exercising because you will get sore and won’t be able to continue for a few days consecutively.
  • To change up your exercise routine, take dance classes or teach yourself with the help of the Internet for at least an hour 3 days a week.
  • Consume about 1800 to 2400 calories per day, depending on how much exercise you do. Avoid starving.
  • Eat 3 slim meals and 2 slim snacks “not” fattening things (or even better; 5 small/slim meals) a day to keep your metabolism in fat-burning mode.
  • A good thing to remember is if it goes off its good for you if it has a long use by date it’s generally not.

Warnings

  • Weight does not all come from body fat, muscle adds in weight as well. Starving yourself will weaken your muscles and destroy/lower your metabolism, thus making you even unhealthier. Once you come to your senses, stop starving yourself, it will take a while for your metabolism to recover. Starvation means you would put on a lot of weight very easily when start eating normally for maintenance (when metabolism is lowered your body thinks it is going to die and defends itself by putting on weight at every opportunity).
  • Puberty will cause you to gain weight, this is perfectly normal. Don’t expect to look like a 12 year old when you’re 15. Curves are a beautiful thing.
  • If you are seriously overweight, you should see a doctor. This ‘lifestyle plan’ is only recommended for girls wanting to lose 10-15 pounds.
  • Consult a doctor before starting a diet; doctors will help you to choose the appropriate diet for your situation.
