Stop When you Feel Full In order to make sure that you are not eating too much you could always count calories, and plan out your meals, and I mean this does work, I know I’ve done it, however; there is another option, the idea is to eat until you feel full. The problem is that most people eat until they are stuffed and this is when overeating comes into the picture. The best way to think about it is to rate your hunger on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being starving, 10 being stuffed. You want to stop eating when you reach about a 7 and eat when you get to about a 4. This little trick will greatly reduce the chances of overeating.

Two of the biggest problems in today’s society are unhealthy eating and the lack of exercise. These problems definitely help to explain why the nation’s obesity rates are climbing at a steady pace. Exercising is just as important as what you eat. Exercise not only helps to burn extra calories but also helps to strengthen your heart, immune system, muscles, joints, and helps to keep your body running in tip top shape. Exercise is so important that researchers say that the average person should be getting 30-45 min of exercise a day 3-5 times a week.

Exercising does not have to be complex or work yourself into a coma hard. No matter what type of exercise you chose to do it will be burning calories. Most people when losing weight tend to do exercises that get their heart rate up such as running, jogging, swimming, cycling, or aerobics these help to burn the most calories. You could also join a sports league or just play sports with your friends. Even things such as housework, gardening, cutting the lawn (push mower), or yard work helps to burn calories and counts as exercise.

Sticking to these new lifestyle changes is going to be hard at first, but I can guarantee that as soon as you start seeing results, and make it a habit, you will not want to go back to the old lifestyle that got you overweight or unhealthy in the first place. In order to help keep yourself motivated I would strongly suggest keeping a log of your results, and trying to exercise with a buddy, or group of people.
