Teen Best Ways To Lose Weight Without Dieting

Teen Best Ways To Lose Weight Without Dieting

Sure, you can lose weight quickly. There are plenty of fad diets that work to shed pounds rapidly – while leaving you feeling hungry and deprived. But what good is losing weight only to regain it? To keep pounds off permanently, it’s best to lose weight slowly. And many experts say you can do that without going on a “diet.” Instead, the key is making simple tweaks to your lifestyle.

If you’re ready to start losing weight, but you don’t want to follow a diet, I have good news. You can make a few “painless” changes to your everyday diet that will help you eat less, eat smarter, and lose weight!

Don’t Drink Your Calories

Beverages are bottomless these days – you can’t order a soft drink or iced tea at a restaurant without being provided quick, free refills, or having the freedom to get them yourself. To keep from drinking a day’s worth of calories, choose herbal tea, unsweetened iced tea with Splenda (or another artificial, no-cal sweetener), diet flavored-water, bottled or tap water with a spritz of lemon or lime, or diet soda. If none of those better choices suits you, allow yourself one glass of the “real thing” and drink only water thereafter. (Tip: Ask for extra ice in that first glass of soda and you will drink less.) By stopping at one glass, you will save yourself hundreds – or even thousands – of calories.

Always Eat Breakfast

Taking the time to eat could prevent costly mistakes as the day progresses; skipping this important morning meal can lead to an out of control afternoon appetite, oversized portions, poor food choices, and overeating, even later on into the night. Plus, going too long without eating may cause your metabolism to slow down. If you can’t eat first thing in the morning, a healthful, mid-morning snack is a good idea. If you are not hungry in the morning, it could be a sign that you are eating too close to bedtime. Set a cut-off time for evening eating (such as 7 p.m.) and you will probably feel more like eating in the a.m.

Drink Plenty of Water Throughout The Day To Stay Hydrated

You hear it all the time, but you really do need to work in those recommended six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day. Thirst can easily be mistaken for hunger, so you could be reaching for food when you are actually thirsty. Eating water-rich foods like fruit will help you stay well-hydrated, too. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink; try sipping water throughout the day and you may be surprised to find that your appetite seems much tamer.

Add At Least One More Serving of Produce To As Many Meals As Possible

Veggies and fruit are all nutrient-rich, low-cal and filling – just be careful of creamy dips or dressings, butter, cheese sauce, and fried vegetables. Salsa, soups, and pasta sauce are easy ways to work in even more vegetable servings. Keep the skin on fresh produce, such as apples, whenever possible as it contains more fiber. Remember, fiber takes a while to digest so you feel fuller longer after eating it, which will help you eat less in the long run.

Make A Salad Your Starter

Having a salad before your meal will almost certainly prevent you from overeating. Load up all the veggies you like, but just be careful about adding high-fat extras such as pasta salads, shredded cheese or cream-based dressings. (Tip: Spray dressings are excellent for cutting calories as most only have about 10 calories per spritz). Prepackaged, washed salads make it easy to add a salad to any meal without extra effort. Most fast food restaurants offer a reasonably-priced side salad, or some menus offer the option to substitute salad for another side item when purchasing a “combo” or “value” meal.

Be A Better Baker

Start baking immediately following a meal so you will be less likely to sample. Chew flavorful gum like peppermint or spearmint so your mouth will be otherwise occupied. Healthier baking ingredient substitutions help cut fat and calories.

Go For Grains

Whole grains will help you feel full longer than refined carbohydrates. In the morning, fiber-rich cereal like Kellog’s All-Bran, is a good choice, as is oatmeal. Brown rice, whole grain bread, and whole wheat crackers, are all good ways to include grains in your day: A slice of whole wheat bread goes well with a salad; microwavable, single-serving brown rice is easy to add to lunch at the office; keep wheat crackers stored in your desk drawer for when the afternoon munchies strike.

Always Keep Healthy Frozen Meals On Hand

They will be a backup plan for nights when you don’t have time to prepare and cook a healthy meal. Try to choose meals with around 300 to 350 calories. (Tip: Even some of the healthier frozen meal choices are skimpy on veggies, so be sure to add a packaged salad or a microwavable, single-serving frozen vegetable to your “instant meal” to better round it out.

Choose Foods That Will Help You Feel Satisfied Longer

While both protein and fat help you feel sated longer than simple carbohydrates, protein naturally contains fewer calories per ounce than fat. Eggs, lean meats, skinless poultry, and reduced-fat dairy products are ideal protein sources. A snack like yogurt, a boiled egg, string cheese or turkey slices will give you an energy boost and quell hunger pangs. Whole grains also contain protein, so you may find combining an animal or dairy protein with a complex carb such as whole wheat crackers or whole grain bread to be even more effective at keeping your energy up and hunger down. If you don’t eat meat or dairy, there are also several other sources of protein, such as beans, legumes, and nuts.

Catch some “Zs”

Did you know getting enough rest can have a direct impact on your ability to lose weight? Not getting enough sleep can cause you to eat more often or make poor choices (In an effort to compensate for feeling groggy, we tend to naturally reach for higher-calorie, high-fat foods.). Getting enough sleep also ensures that you feel energized enough to exercise and that you work out to your fullest capacity when you do. Even if you can’t add additional sleeping hours, take some time to simply do nothing, practice deep breathing, read, or listen to some calming music every day. Making a point to relax more can keep emotional eating – particularly stress-eating – at bay.

Skin Care With Banana: Remedies At Home

Skin Care With Banana: Remedies At Home

Many people cringe at the sight of bananas. They fear the unnecessary calories they might be piling on. It is common to have them run right past the fruit while at the supermarket. While consuming bananas may lead to putting on a lot of calories, bananas can help care for the body and make quick remedies.

If you have areas of your body that appear cracked, dry and dull, try using a banana on them. This is useful for cracked and dry elbows and also the feet. Mix banana with a little honey, and a little gram flour with beaten and banana. After applying a thick coat of this mixture to the affected areas, leave it on for half an hour, or till the mixture has dried up totally. Wash it off using lukewarm water. This will help make the skin softer and responsive.

How to Use Banana Peel For Skin Care

Use To Help Psoriasis

Rub the inside of a banana peel to the affected area and although it will be red at first, you should notice a difference in your skin within a few days.

Use To Heal Acne

Again, simply rub the inside of the banana peel over your acne, whether it’s on your face or body, and your acne should improve within a few uses. I recommend applying at night so you don’t smell like a banana all day.

Take The Bite Out Of Poison Ivy

Rub the inside of a banana peel onto the poison ivy area and the itching should stop and the inflammation will go down. Reapply as needed. This is a great reason to pack a few banana’s on that camping or hiking trip.

Heal Warts

Rub the inside of a banana peel on the wart every night for a week and you will see improvement. Plantar’s warts have responded well to this, and other warts may as well. If you are in a hurry, try taping the peel to the affected area overnight and you should see dramatic improvement within a week or two.

Make a Facial Cream

* Mash 1/4 of a banana into a small bowl.
* In a separate bowl, whisk one egg white until frothy.
* Add one tablespoon of cornstarch to the egg white and continue to whisk together.
* Add mashed banana and mix well.
* Apply a thin layer of the banana mixture to face and allow to dry for 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
* Any leftover banana facial mixture can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days.

The rear end design, however is influenced by the interior package as there is only the single seat at the rear so it needs window access, as a result they are pulled closer in, thus creating very strong shoulders in the back.
