Today I am going to start the “10 Scientifically Proven Weight Loss Tips”
Lose weight based on Evidence not Marketing Hype or Myth.
Every year tens of millions of people around the world try to lose weight, and most fail. We are constantly bombarded with advice about dieting and the latest slimming fads. But what really works? We are going to look at some of the lasts scientific breakthroughs in slimming, uncovering ten of the simplest ways you can shed those pounds, without it changing your life too drastically.
So, let’s begin.
1) Don’t Skip Meals or Calories.
Brain scans show that when you are presented with either images or in real life the opportunity to eat food that is either high in calories or low in calories, our brains are triggered to eat higher calorie food when we are hungry. This means when you drastically cut back your food intake or even skip meals you are not only fighting your willpower – you are fighting unconscious desires and biochemistry where your body demands you eat more calories to make up for the starvation it thinks it is going through.
Your brain on fasting days, will shout to you to eat high calorie foods. It does this because when our stomachs are empty a hormone called ghrelin is secreted to tell your brain your stomach wants to be filled up now. This triggers a strong urge to eat high calorie foods, that can over power your long-term goals to eat better. It is important to note here that your brain is not telling you just eat; it is telling you to eat sugar and fat and foods that are not good for weight loss.
Tip for today:
Always eat at least 3 times a day, and not cut back your calories too much. The very act of doing this is going to cause you to have compulsive impulses to grab a donut or a piece of cake – which you are biologically unable to resist.
