Lose 3 Pounds

Losing weight should be successful and enjoyable! The key is to make a change that truly works. You can actually lose 3 pounds with ease by starting with the following:

Relax. The body under stress releases cortisol, which conduces fat production. Try a breathing technique called QiGong to help relax yourself. You can do this just by practicing deep breathing. QiGong breathing improves lung capacity, which increases the circulation of oxygen in the blood, and massages your internal abdominal organs. This improves the functioning and health of your body. Deep breathing also assists your digestion process. In turn, you will lose weight even faster than you realize.

Question: I started walking and dancing 1 hour each a day, and consuming 1200 calories/day that include vegetables and fruits. Are there other tips to help expedite weight loss?

BEST ANSWER

Yes! Water suppress the appetite, helps cleanse and replenish the body, and is very beneficial to weight loss and health. You should consume at least 8 glasses each day. It also helps suppress your appetite. Drink a glass when you wake up, before each meal, before going to bed, and before, during, and after exercise. Contrary to popular belief, water does not cause water weight. Water weight is all the water accumulated in different parts of our body because the body isn’t getting enough consistent fresh water. Drinking enough water actually flushes water weight as well.

Here’s another tip: if you drink ice cold water your body burns extra calories because it can’t utilize the water in its cold state and must work to bring it to normal temperature.

Two to three cups of Green tea with lemon also helps the body in losing weight.

Another aide in weight loss is: Don’t go hungry! This slows your metabolism. Instead, try eating smaller meals every three hours, which is the amount of time it takes to digest to assist in efficiently processing the calories, as well as the nutrients from consumption.

Reduce the intake of carbs from white bread or items with white flour.
Popular diet programs such as The Atkins diet tells you to take 25 g of this a day. This is dangerous and can lead to ketosis. The proper daily requirement is 50 grams.

Eliminate or decrease sodas, starches, and sugars or starches in general. You can replace them with real fruit juices or better yet buy fruit and make smoothies in a blender. You will be surprised on how much better they actually taste to you than sodas for example.

Here are some food suggestions:
Partake of foods high in protein, calcium (metabolizers) and fiber such as oatmeal, tuna, low-fat cottage cheese, skinless chicken, whole wheat bread, skim milk, eggs, low-fat frozen yogurt, and with the exception of bananas and potatoes, plenty of fruits and vegetables.
