Lose Weight Without Going Hungry
Lose Weight Without Going Hungry
1. Always Eat a Man's Breakfast
No more Lucky Charms-you want some protein and fat. Scrambled eggs and a few sausage links will keep you fuller longer than an airy doughnut will.
Corbis
2. Eat More!
We're talking three good snacks and three healthful meals. But what do you serve during the bowl game if you can't have chips and dip? Mixed nuts -- especially almonds -- will satisfy your craving for something crunchy while helping to build muscle.

3. Just Say No to Starches
Foods like pasta, white bread, and potatoes make you fat. If you must have pasta, make yours whole-wheat. Same goes for bread, and swap white potatoes for sweet potatoes. Just don't eat too much!

4. Lift Weights
Yes, you have to hit the gym, and no, lifting beer cans during happy hour doesn't count. The muscles you build will not only improve your performance, they'll stoke your metabolism so you burn calories long after your workout is over.

5. Think Before You Eat
Don't just stuff your face with the stale cookies left over from the holidays, eat what tastes good and what's good for you. Take your time eating; you'll stay fuller longer.

6. But Have Fun Once in a While -- or Once a Week
Stifle those cravings for too long, and you'll be miserable and might fall off your new plan forever. Just splurge reasonably -- two slices of pizza, not the whole thing.

7. Go Low-Carb
It's the easiest way to drop weight fast. The cravings are hard at first, but it gets easier -- especially when you see the results.

8. Run Intervals
It's easier to alternate between hard and easy running instead of going for a long run-especially if you don't like running. Plus, you'll be done faster and burn more fat.

9. Never, Ever Drink Sweetened Soda
But go ahead, have a glass of wine now and then. Low-carb beer is fine, too, in moderation.

10. Don't Fear Fat
It makes you feel full, helps control your appetite, and your body needs it.

Losing weight is all about self-discipline and motivation. It is important to combine ballanced diet and a good workout. Both together can provide you with incredible results. Be careful before going on a diet, it can be useful and succesful, but in some cases could also harm your health. Make sure, you always research a lot of information about particular diets, workouts, and weight loss supplements, so that you choose the best for you.The advise of our readers:www.w8loss-tips.com

There are some good points here. Actually there is a very very legitimate program on the web now over at http://www.heavymotivation.com this program is very similar to what is discussed here.I hope everyone realizes that It is possible to lose weight naturally, without pills or suppliments and yes..even without starving yourself. It is a shame how many americans are still being brainwashed by the celeb plans that tell you what you "need" in order to lose weight. you dont "need" anything except your willpower and a little bit of education on how your body works. You can do it all on your own but most of the time, the people that tell the truth get smothered and are made to keep quiet. This program I mentioned helped a lot of people out there. they plan you meals, motivate you and actually care and the whole thing is customized to your specific body. Finally somebody that cares. This article really hits a lot of points and the website heavymotivation.com is all about this stuff. I ho

this is good advise but you also need to detoxify your body with diet and exercise. i take bio lean from www.winlifestyle.com every day and love it. i have more energy and feel better in general. fancy diets like low carb diets are not healthy.
