Nobody likes to be forced to diet, but sometimes when you don’t like what the scales are telling you, you just don’t have a choice. However, there are better ways to lose weight than feeling like you’re being punished for a bad deed. In all honesty, you can lose weight by simply tweaking your life a bit.
The problem with diets is that they are seen as a temporary solution with a temporary benefit. That’s what makes them so unpleasant – you’re basically waiting for them to be over. Instead of thinking about it like this, you need to view it in a different way. The way to see things is that you’re not simply doing it in order to look better, but in order to also feel better. Health is one of the things that we often forget about when we talk about dieting.
One of the tweaks that will definitely allow you to lose weight and feel better at the same time is stopping the consumption of refined sugars. I know, it sounds horrible, and it is in the beginning, until you realize how much better you feel after a while. Instead of eating simple sugars that spike your blood glucose and make you hungry after a bit, try to eat complex carbohydrates like oats. Even fruits are better for satisfying your sweet tooth than refined sugar.
Another thing you want is to make sure that you’re not sitting in one place for too long. Yes, when you’re working a sedentary job, it’s going to be hard, but you can introduce some changes that will help. For example, take a five-minute break every hour (or when you can) and just walk around – go to the water cooler, visit a colleague, or simply walk around so your can get your blood flowing. This way you will mitigate many of the negative effects of sitting, not being able to dissolve fat being one of them. Just these two changes will be enough for you to start seeing some changes. Of course, if you really want results, a diet, more exercise, and even diet pills (all natural, of course) might be unavoidable, but this a good start to get your mentality going.
