Lose weight with this simple diet changes

August 28, 2017

 As you know, excess weight can take a toll in a man’s health. As diabetes and hypertensions risks increase, so do urology-related problems and the potential risk of suffering from erectile dysfunction.  
Dieting or sticking to a rigid eating regime can be difficult and sometimes not very beneficial, unless you’re thoroughly following a plan especially tailored for you by a nutritionist. So instead of undergoing a drastic change in the way you eat, you can try a few hacks that will help you achieve a slimmer body through a healthier diet.
 Regardless of the claims from celebrities and advertising about miraculous products and swear-by diets, there are no quick fixes, shortcuts or instantaneous cure for excess weight, at least not one that that’s totally full-proof, long lasting and more importantly, healthy. The only way that ensures a healthy weight-loss without dreadful consequences is maintaining a healthy and balanced diet combined with regular exercise.
 However, changing your eating habits permanently as well as your lifestyle choices is always easier said than done. Nonetheless, the following tricks can help you suppress your appetite and fight unhealthy cravings, which paired with a nutritious diet and a consistent exercise routine can take you a long way towards your dream body, a healthier life and an overall better feeling about yourself.
 Be warned these are not magic cures for any pre-existing condition you might be suffering nor they will address the underlying causes of your excess weight but rather useful hacks based on basic biology to trick your body into leading a healthier lifestyle, starting with the way you consume your food.

Drinking more water.

We’ve all heard this more times that we can count but seriously, it’s not just something people sake for the sake of saying it. Of course, drinking water won’t make you a fitness poster boy, but drinking a large glass of water before every meal will prevent you from overeating. If you drink the water 20 minutes before your meal time, your brain will feel like your stomach is already somewhat full and henceforth, you will eat less, making portion control a lot simpler and less painful.

Give a chance to oleic acid.

Avocados, peanut butter, olive oil and nuts are packed with this fatty acid that is a great help when it comes to helping you curb your appetite. The reason behind this, is that oleic acid activates the part of the brain that makes you feel full.

Solid over liquid.

Of course having soup or a smoothie every now and then is a great thing, and if you’re accompanying your lunch with soup or your breakfast with a smoothie or green juice you’re not too far from the goal. However, substituting your meal with liquid foods won’t help you lose weight contrary to popular belief. Since solid foods give you a greater sensation of fullness you’re less prone to overeating and over-snacking throughout the day if you opt for food you have to chew instead of drink.

Incorporate apple cider vinegar to your diet.

Acetic acid is the main component in apple cider vinegar, and in spite of all the hype of its quasi-miraculous reputation as a cure for skin, hair and other health conditions, the science behind it is not that far from reality. Although apple cider vinegar is not the holy grail, the acetic acid in suppresses metabolic disorders and body fat accumulation. If you’re feeling gut-wrenching cravings, mixing a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with a cup of warm water will help you get through the hungry episode.

Pack on protein.

Protein rich diets are usually expensive, or at least more expensive than plant-based ones. However, the research has demonstrated that since protein keeps you fuller for longer, your chances of weight-loss increase considerably. During a study that faced two groups of people eating breakfast, although both groups consumed the same amount of calories, the first one ate a protein based breakfast (eggs) and the second a carb-based breakfast (bagels). The study showed that the group who ate the eggs lost 16% more body fat and 65% more weight than those who ate the bagels over the 8 weeks of research.
Keeping a healthy weight is about much more than looking good. It’s about feeling good and more importantly, about being healthy.
