Tips To Avoid Eating

Make a list of all the foods that you crave. Each day, pick one to take out of your diet. No matter what, you absolutely cannot eat again. Take one off until there are no bad foods.

Eat in front of a mirror naked except for tight underwear. Do you want him to see that?

Competition is the best motivation for some people. Find a buddy to lose weight with. If you’re ahead of them, it’s a blissful feeling that dwarfs the sick pleasure of eating. If you’re behind, looking at them makes you realize that food is unnecessary. There is nothing stopping you except you.

Curl up in a ball if you have hunger pains. Look at those rolls! You aren’t near hungry enough to get rid of those!

The smell of coffee suppresses appetite.

Wear perfectly applied lip-gloss. You’ll eat slowly and cautiously to avoid messing it up, which will draw your attention to the fact that you’re stuffing your face.

Don’t carry extra money, you’ll be tempted to spend it on food.

Avoid alcohol, tons of calories. Luckily, alcohol is intolerable if you’re chewing peppermint gum.

Don’t give in to your cravings. You’re stronger than that; look at those around you, getting fatter by the second. Be glad that isn’t you.

Chew gum while you cook for others so you won’t sample.

Drink a glass of ice cold water as often as possible, every half-hour is ideal. The water fills and cleanses you; the cold burns calories. At least two quarts daily is good. Water is necessary to carry away the breakdown byproducts of fat.

Smoke a cigarette if you’re hungry. Starting the habit for this reason- bad idea. Symptoms of withdrawal from cigarettes include RAPID WEIGHT GAIN.

Caffeine speeds up metabolism, but you can become dependant in the same way as diet pills.

Wear your favorite tight bikini bottom and take a picture of your love handles. Look at it when you want to eat.

Before you eat, count to 100. Usually that’s all it takes to realize you don’t want it.

Spin in circles: burns calories, induces nausea.

Try new foods when you’re sick, it creates an irreversible association between the food and feeling sick.

If hungry, follow the 4D’s:
Distance yourself from the food;
Delay eating;
Distract yourself;
Decide what your goals really are.

Diet soda works like a miracle at filling you. No calories, obviously. Drink one on a walk, your stomach will hurt a bit and you won’t want to eat for a while.
 

Think of something disgusting and put the food you crave beside it mentally. Recall a mortifying event and tell yourself that it was caused by the food. Soon you will automatically associate the two.

Tips To Control Eating

Never eat more than a cup. Your stomach will expand and you’ll eat more later.

It takes twelve hours for the body to start feeding off its own fat.

Write down everything you eat. Sometimes you’ll disgust yourself by saying it.

Look at what you’re about to eat. Imagine a bulge in your stomach shaped like that cheeseburger or muffin or whatever it is. Only eat it if you’d be willing to eat the same amount in pure fat.

Make a plan for the week. Buy only food on this plan. Have nothing laying around except for what you have pre-calculated into your allowed daily calorie budget.

If you’re not reading nutrition information on everything that you eat yet, you’re in for it when you see what foods get more than 30% of their calories from fat.

If you’ve eaten an acceptable amount of food but are still hungry, wait twenty minutes and you’ll probably feel full.

Fiber is a natural laxative and makes you feel full. Total cereal- disgusting! Not only is it the percent daily values for the pigs on the street, but all in one meal? Gross.

Eat with your non-dominant hand.

Cut your food into tiny bites and eat very slowly. After you swallow a bite, chew on nothing for a little while, and then take another bite.

Fat free hot cocoa and coffee or chai tea with skim milk fills you up amazingly fast.

Give yourself tiny portions. If you put more than you need or even want on your plate, you’ll feel obligated to eat it.

Imagine everything you’re eating is coated in butter- even the utensils.

Weigh yourself before and after eating.

Stay away from Slim-fast and other “diet” foods. Glance at the nutrition facts and you’ll see why. With all the carbs and excess calories you might as well go eat a  pie or something. They also cost a bundle.

Put your food money in a jar; buy something inedible at the end of the month as a reward for everything you didn’t eat.

EXERCISE TIPS:

  • Drink plenty of water about a half hour before you plan to exercise. Don't drink it immediatly before or you'll get cramps. Drink alot of water when you finish too.
  • If your lifting weights to bulk up then you want to use heavier weights and lift 12-15 reps. If you want to make muscles long and lean then you need to lift lighter weights and do reps until your arms give out.
  • Remember to breathe evenly when you exercise, especially in jogging. It keeps cramps away.
  • Don't lift weights while your fasting and not getting any protien at all. You'll end up destroying more muscle then you create.
  • Jumping rope helps to get rid of cellulite.
  • Do crunches not sit ups because sit ups will actually make your stomach larger, while crunches just tone it up.

Tricep Extenders

Slow and steady wins the race with this exercise, designed to strengthen the back of your arms.
Directions:
1) Stand up with your body leaning slightly forward but your back flat and your abs pulled in tight.
2) Grasp each weight over the top, palms pointing down.
3) With your right elbow bent, lift your arm back so that your arm is almost completely straight. Hold, then release your arm slowly back down.
4) Repeat for 10-12 lifts. Then exercise the other side.
5) Do two sets of 10-12 lifts, building to 3 or more sets as you feel stronger.
Variation: Increase the heaviness of weight.

French Curls

Loose arm flesh gets a quick tightening with this exercise that benefits the triceps, or back of the arms. Be sure to hold the weights tightly so they don't fall.
Directions:
1) Sit on the floor with your legs crossed. Sit up tall with your back straight.
2) Hold the weights so that your palms are in. Extend your arms over your head, with your elbows slightly bent.
3) Holding your upper arms still, slowly bend your elbows so that your hands lower to shoulder level. Do not let them dip further back behind you.
4) Raise the weights back up to the starting position and repeat, doing two sets of 8-12 reps each. Rest for 15 seconds between sets.

Push-Ups

There's a reason the phys-ed teachers always made us do these. They work. You'll strengthen your pectorals (the chest muscles) and your anterior deltoids or shoulders, plus, of course, your triceps.
Directions:
1) Kneel on a mat or towels with your ankles crossed and your hands out in front of you, square with your shoulders.
2) Keeping your back straight with your abs tight and your head parallel with your back, slowly bend your elbows and lower your chest to the floor.
3) Straighten your elbows and return to the starting position.
4) Repeat, doing two sets of 8-12 reps each. Rest 15 seconds between sets.

Bicep Curls

This exercise strengthens the biceps, or the front of your arms. As you improve, lift heavier weights.
Directions:
1) Sit on the floor with your legs crossed. Sit tall.
2) Using an underhand grip, hold the weights at the sides of your body with your arms straight.
3) Bend your arms, bringing the weights toward your shoulders.
4) Hold the position for a few seconds, then return your hands to your sides. Keep your elbows close to your body throughout the movement.
5) Repeat, doing two sets of 8-10 reps each. Rest for 15-20 seconds between sets.
Variation: Work one side, then the other.
Tip: Keep the movement tight and controlled. Don't swing the weights or you will lose the full benefit of the exercise.

Front Lateral Raises

Your delts, or shoulder muscles, get the workout with this exercise. You'll feel it in your upper arms, too.
Directions:
1) Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, back straight, knees slightly bent. Be sure to stand straight.
2) With your hands holding the weights, palms down, place your hands in front of your thighs.
3) Slightly bend your arms, then lift the weights up to your shoulders.
4) Return to starting position, completing two sets of 8-12 reps. Rest 12-15 seconds between reps.
Variation 1: Work one arm at a time.
Variation 2: Start instead with your hands at your shoulders and lift the weights over your head, then lower to your shoulders and repeat.

Upright Rows

This exercise benefits your upper back. You'll feel proud as your ability to hold heavier weights and do more repetitions increases.
Directions:
1) Stand with your feet wider apart than your shoulders. Your abs should be tight and your knees should be slightly bent.
2) Hold the weights with your palms facing in.
3) Inhale as you lift, raising the weights so your elbows are parallel to your shoulders and your elbows are bent fairly tightly.
4) Hold the weights in position for a few seconds, then slowly drop your arms to the starting position and repeat. Try for 2 sets of 8-10 reps each. Rest for 12-15 seconds between sets.
Variation: As you get stronger, use heavier weights.

ik alot of you are into crash dieting ( hell so am i) so i thought i would do a little on it..

 

  • Don't do a crash diet for more than 3 to 7 days. Most of these diets are not meant to be kept for extended periods of time. They aren't balanced and not meant to be your permanent way of eating. Now the Atkins diet says you can keep it for extended periods of time, I don't think it a good idea, but the diet changes once you get passed the first two weeks, so if you want to do that extended version of the diet, look it up and get more details on it.
     

  • The week that your going to keep the fad diet, don't overexert yourself. While feeling fine during the diet, you shouldn't try to exert yourself too much, it would make it difficult to keep it and may be too stressful on your system.
     

  • Don't go out to dinner with friends and other social activities. Nothing is worst then eating something tiny when your friends are eating their heads off. So, while it can be done, it's easier to just avoid those types of situations.
     

  • If you get very hungry drink a cold glass of water, it will help to take away the hunger pangs. You could always try sucking on ice to calm hunger pains.
     

  • One last thing, once the crash diet ends don't think it's party time and eat out the house...once the diet is over you want to celebrate, just don't celebrate it with food!!

  • consume more high - fibre foods such as fruits, vegetables and wholegrain breads, cereals and pasta

  • nuts and seeds are very good for nutrition but most contain high fat and calories so limit these

    A piece of dessert consisting of 400 calories may only require 150 calories to digest by our body, resulting in a net gain of 250 calories which is added to our body fat !

    On the other hand, a 5 calorie piece of celery may require 150 calories to digest, but resulting in a net loss of 145 calories from our body fat !! The more you eat, the more you lose weight!!!

    The negative calorie foods contain sufficient vitamins & minerals that produce enzymes in quantities sufficient to break down not only its own calories, but additional calories present in digestion as well. This is the secret of The Negative Calorie Foods.

    Vegetables
    Asparagus
    Beet Root
    Broccoli
    Cabbage
    Carrot
    Cauliflower
    Celery
    Chicory

    Calories from these foods are much harder for the body to breakdown and process. In other words, the body has to work harder in order to extract calories from these foods. This gives these foods a tremendous natural fat-burning advantage.
