Adults gain about a pound and a half of additional weight each year. These possibly explain why people get fatter as the year's pass. However, many want to avoid this. Here are some tips that can be done to improve one's metabolism and control weight gain. Exercise not included.
A study by Cornell researcher Brain Wansink, Ph.D. suggests that dimming the lights and going to places where there is less noise can surprisingly help to lose weight. Wansink said in the "Slim by Design" book that people who ate in fast food restaurant where the lighting was softer and the music was more soothing had about 175 fewer calories than those who ate in the same place with bright lights and loud music.
Psychologists suggest that reducing the size of the plate can also help control overeating. American dishes are usually 11 or 12 inches wide. What is ideal is 10 inches. It will also contribute to use the smaller spoon.
The same study by Wansink suggested that announcing one's snacks will also help in weight loss. Instead of saying "I can't have this" or "I can't eat that," one should say "I am not hungry, but I am going to eat this anyway..". These are like reverse psychology as a deprivation of one's appetite can just let a person think more and more about foods.
Getting enough sleep is one of the most important things to do when wanting to lose weight. It is also happy to keep one's weight monitored and kept a food journal as well. Dr. Terry Shintani in his book "Lose Weight While Your Sleep" said that it is possible to lose weight even when you are sleeping if and only if one is eating the right foods and making the right habits.
Eric Olsen said in his book "Life Fit" an average American will gain about one pound of additional weight annually from age 25, or 35 extra pounds once the age of 60 is reached. These is due to losing about a half pound of bone and muscle mass every year.
Being physically active obviously, help one to be healthy. Nonetheless, it is always best to eat the right foods and getting rid of stuff that cause allergies.
