Food is a way of life. Tell me the name of the person who doesn’t enjoy eating. Isn’t eating one of the ways in enjoying and celebrating life? However, food can be the reason why they have gained so much weight and thus they are trying to avoid.

Who wouldn’t be able to resist a chocolate bar, a cake, a donut, a brownie, a cookie and I could go on and on forever. This are the foods that make us feel good and shoot up our endorphin levels, the hormone responsible for making us happy. This is a whole lot of sugar and on top of that packed with high calories.

Small frequent meals

This is much better than taking 3 regular meals. Small meals in frequency measure lesser than 3 meals a day and make a 4 hour interval in eating. This is the key to maintaining your weight and not gaining. Never skip meals, it will make your metabolism slower and your body will go defense mode for you. If you do not eat food and suddenly decide that you are going to eat it will go on and store the food you take as fat. Starving yourself will backfire on you, you will not be able to perform on your optimum plus you get irritable.

Satisfy your cravings

Even when you want to lose weight, you can still enjoy food. Gone are the days of bland foods that taste like cupboard and swallowing it is a chore. If you suddenly have the urge of eating potato chips, go ahead and give in. The trick is not to consume all of the contents in the bag but to just not make yourself feel deprived. Take a couple of pieces not half of the bag. Same thing with your sweet cravings, resisting will not work, it will just make it worse. Keep in mind, portion control.

Food is your friend not enemy if food was the culprit in making you fat then definitely food is also the solution in making it go away. Trying to lose weight isn’t as hard as you think it is.
