Secrets To Staying Thin

December 4, 2008

If you are anything like an average man you are about a pound heavier than you should be, at least one day after a party. The reason for this is because you probably just ate your way through a sumptuous feast. When we attend parties, especially buffet parties we tend to overdo it a bit. A bit is as much as 4500 calories. This is double our recommended intake of food.

Then if you are in holiday mode, like around Christmas, you will be consuming about 600 extra calories per day. Keeping this kind of consumption up for a fortnight and you will find that you will gain about 6 pounds under the skin. What you need to know is how to shed that holiday bloat, if you cannot keep away from the food that hovers into view every now and then during the holiday season, or even otherwise.

The secret is to keep yourself active and not revel in the lazy mood with nothing to do. This will only help you eat more and gain more fat. Do the little odd jobs around the house like doing the dishes, mopping and sweeping or vacuuming. Mowing the lawn pr painting the fence is a good way to burn some of those calories.

Do not sit when you can stand. This is a simple rule that aids weight loss a good deal. Scientific research has shown that when we sit for more than five minutes at a stretch our systems switch off an enzyme that prevents fat storage. So stay on your feet as long as you can. Washing a few clothes by hand instead of throwing them in the washing machine is great exercise too.

The secret to staying thin even after eating is to stay active. But abstaining from food is also a great help most of the time.
