Quit Overeating And Lead A Healthy Life
January 16, 2009
0ver eating more than once a week can give you a problem with your weight. Unchecked it can become a run away train. A planned approach is an excellent way to take the issue head on. Here are some things you may wish to understand that will help you in succeeding.
For starters by getting that water intake up as high as possible you are flushing the system out which is the first thing one must do. Over eating normally creates a certain degree of water retention in the system so flushing is essential. Next increase your non caffeinated beverages for a couple of days. Milk, Fruit juices, vegetables, fresh fruit, and clear broth soups are what you are looking for.
Salt facilitates water retention with its sodium, so keep an eye on your salt intake. Cutting back on your eating is the game plan so do it prudently. Don’t try a full stop; we do not want the body to shut down. Instead prefer high protein foods which will enhance the metabolism as it is a macronutrient.
Your calorie intake should not drop below 10 multiplied by the weight of your body. So if you are 158 pounds then your intake should not go below 1,580 calories. At the gym surprise, surprise its weights that will get the body working in burning off those extra calories rather than the cardio. Weight training uses stored muscle glycogen. All the extra carbs you may have downed at a night out will effectively burn in a weight training program.
Alcohol is best put aside, but if you must, must never cross the one unit barrier.
On the contrary if you know that over eating will be the order of the next day here are a few things you could do before to address the issue in advance. Do a big resistance training program. Intense weight training depletes the glycogen in the muscle. In the event of over eating the muscle will just suck it back as soon as it’s in the blood stream. High carbs eaten in this manner may actually help in building lean muscle.
The other way to a beat a day of over eating is to reduce your calorie intake (300-500) for 2-3 days before the event. That way the body will handle the over load with ease and some pleasure.
Let not a damp day slip you into a state of weakness. Have a strategy that works for you.
