Don't worry about the people in your past; There's a reason they didn't make it to your future.
Understand your body symptoms
If you do not know, what is happening with your body do not try to give a reason. Observe symptoms like allergy, weight gain, weight loss, nausea, bloating, gas formation, indigestion, rashes etc. Contact your doctor and undergo some test like blood work etc. Once you know what is happening then consult a nutrition expert to understand your diet – what you can eat or what you should not. For example gluten free diet is becoming a trend. More and more people are on the anti-wheat warpath trend, as the label “gluten free” appears on everything from beer to pets food. For those with celiac disease, a life-threatening autoimmune disorder that destroys the gastrointestinal tract, going gluten-free is critical to avoid damage to the small intestine. For everyone else, though, it is an unnecessary, and potentially unhealthy, diet.
Limiting portions can help you lose weight and ultimately prevent complications. A 2004 study of 329 overweight people found that 38% of those who practiced portion control for two years lost 5% or more of body weight, compared with 33% of participants who did not (they gained 5% or more of body weight). Learning what a portion size actually is—and eating that amount—is tricky. Do research and understand the basic terms of nutrition – calorie, portion, gram, tea and table spoon, one cup, ounce, liter…. all these will help to control the food intake.
Many patients conclude their condition before the diagnosis. Everybody knows the term hereditary and this becomes an excuse for overweight, obesity or diabetes conditions. If we exercise regularly, minimum three days a week – 25 minutes each day, body will burn the calorie and the chance of developing various conditions is less. Ask your doctor or nutritionist or dietitian how to proceed with diet or exercise. Once you take that healthy path your body feels better inside out.
People go on diet then they give up in the middle. There are so many nutrition jokes about diet planning. Dieting is hard but is worth. One should know which diet is good for one’s body. Dieting does not end in a day. Many diet plans go from one week to 30 days. Remember these funny words when you go on dieting…
It’s not the minutes spent at the table that put on weight, it is the seconds.
The biggest drawback to fasting for seven days is that it makes one weak.
The toughest part of a diet is not watching what you eat. It is watching what other people eat.
An excellent way to lose weight is by skipping … snacks and dessert.
Past of Eat is I ate too much and the future – What?
Eating big portion during dinnertime, having dinner after 8 PM, staying up late, having too much desert may be risk factors in weight gain. A recent study from Northwestern Medicine found that late sleepers consumed 248 more calories a day, mainly at dinner and later in the evening. They ate half as many fruits and vegetables, twice the fast food and drank more full-calorie sodas than those with earlier sleep times. The extra daily calories can mean a significant amount of weight gain – two pounds per month – if they are not balanced by more exercise.
