How to lose weight without ever going on a diet

Lose weight without going on a diet

 

Making small lifestyle changes can help you lose weight faster. Picture: AFP

Making small lifestyle changes can help you lose weight faster without feeling deprived of the food that you love...

Often dieting does not work and later hampers our system when we get back to our normal eating routine. We share some easy tips to help you lose those excess pounds without haunting over the strict diet charts.

Use a smaller plate

A study from the University of Cornell found out that a fixed portion of food when eaten from a larger plate, diners felt hungrier and ate more. While, the same portion of food, when eaten from a smaller plate, the meal seemed substantial and thus eaten less.

Use a bigger fork

It is established from an Italian study that there is a relationship between the fork size and the level of consumption. The research found that diners who used smaller forks ate more than those with larger ones.

Drink water before meals

Drinking water before meals cuts down the level of consumption. It is believed that those who drink two to three glasses of water before each meal lose weight faster than those who drink water after the meal is over.

Eat with men (ladies)

According to psychologists, women eat less if they are around men! Strange, but quite true. It is possible that small food portions signal attractiveness.

Hide unhealthy snacks

Keeping unhealthy snacks out of sight can benefit loads. Chocolates, crunches when out of reach reduce binge eating.

Avoid peer pressure

Be careful about your friends. Even if they insist you on indulging on those fat-filled snacks and heavy meals, refrain. Remember, at the end you will be the only person to suffer if you give into their pressures.

Don't forget to read labels

Remember to read the food labels before you pick up something. Nutrition labels on food packages eat around 5 per cent less fat than those who do not bother to read them.

Avoid snacking at night

Snacking at night often tends to increase your weight. Since there is no form of exercise done at night, this habit will land you in serious problem if you do not put an end to it instantly.

Beware of skinny friends

Thin people have large appetites. Be careful. Since you do not figure on the same chart, you should be cautious about what you eat so that you don't tend to put on more weight.

Berg & Beach Trail Run

When: Saturday, 06 October 2012 to Sunday, 07 October 2012
Where: Hermanus
Categories: Outdoor Events / Sporting Events

Berg & Beach Trail Run

 

The Berg & Beach Trail Run is a 23km Coast / beach and 27km Mountain trail run completed over two days. The run takes place in during the Southern Right Whale breeding season, so you are bound to see them close inshore during the run.

On Day 1 the run starts out on an old 4x4 track along the cliffs overlooking the bay for about 4km before dropping down toward the beach itself. After a couple of crossing over some rocky sections, the beach opens up and runners will be wedged between sand dunes and the water on hard packed sand. The 2 hours before and after low tide will provide enough time for the slowest runners to get to the end of the run before high tide. The area is pristine and runners will often see the "Toby" or Oyster Catcher bird which uses the areas above high tide to nest. Runners are urged to stay on the low tide sand area for this reason. There are numerous other bird species nesting along the coast here.

The river mouth may or may not be open. Right now it is not - rain dependant. If it is, you would need to cross the mouth at around low tide. A safety paddle boat is provided to monitor your crossing. The run will then continue along the beach for another 3km along the cliff path to the Mossel River. The path then follows the river trail under and passing the main road - eventually finishing at Fernkloof Nature Reserve botanical garden.

The Day 2 run starts on a 800m section of tarred road, leading into single track hiking trail for 99% of the remainder. The tracks will contour up toward the top of the Mountain and Fernkloof Nature Reserve, making it possible to actually "run" most of this climb. The views are 2nd to none and you will be traversing valleys, ridges and plateaus rich in fynbos, bird life and higher up, the Klipspringer! Kilometer for kilometer this is one of the best trails you'll ever run along with all its vistas.

The Festival Expo has awarded many small businesses the opportunity to exhibit their goods alongside industry leaders, as well as learn valuable lessons through skills transfer workshops and interaction with larger organizations.
