Losing Weight - "Magic Formula"

Hi Friends,

There is a formula though which can be formula to help lose weight-that can be your magic formula. At least for most of us it should produce the desired result as long as we strictly follow it. Here is the "Magic Formula":

INPUT (Food you consume) should be less than OUTPUT (What you burn up)= IDEAL WEIGHT

i.e., What you consume should be less than what you use up, then your weight will go down.

Some RULES to FOLLOW:

1) Watch what you eat- consume healthy food not fast food.

2)  Eat breakfast like a King, your lunch like a Normal person, and Dinner like a Pauper.

3) Eat your dinner before before 8pm. This will ensure that you have at least And eat something light. e.g. whole meal sandwich. If you are hungry eat fruits or drink a glass of warm low fat milk.

4) Chew your food well so that it is easier to digest. If you gobble down your food quickly then you are likely eat more. If I am not mistaken, scientific studies have shown that it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to tell your brain that you are full.So, do not rush through your food. Chew well before you down your food.

5) Exercise 2x to 3x a week for at least half and hour. The higher the intensity the more you calories you will burn. When you increase your exercise rate your metabolic rate will increase and more calories will be burned.

6) Take your vitamins and minerals regularly. Drink a lot of water. At least 2 liters a day.

7) Get at least 6-8 hours of sleep everyday.

8) Keep your stress down. Stress can wreck havoc to your health and diet.

If you really want a to seriously lose weight then you should see dietitian who will customize a diet plan.You will achieve what you want if you stay the course.

Exercise to Energize! Good Luck!

Cheers,
Mark
