BBCs 10 Things You Need To Know About Losing Weight

Today SureSlim UK posted on the Facebook Newsfeed a message about this programme that was aired on the BBC last week. I felt compelled to watch and was amazed at the results of some of the scientific tests.
I thought to share it with you all here too.



The 10 Things We Need To Know About Losing Weight are:

1. Don’t skip meals. Your body will crave food and will subconsciously prefer the high calorie, high fat foods over the healthy options. Your brain messes with you when you do not eat your meals on a regular basis!

2. Your plate size matters! Use smaller plates and you"ll likely eat less than you normally would but you feel full just the same.

3. Calories matter too. But we"ve all known that for years!

4. Everybody is different, glucose metabolism is key but it"s not the be all and end all! It can be any number of things that are stopping you lose weight.

5. Protein staves off hunger pangs. Protein will naturally help the body suppress Insulin & correct Glucose Metabolism it will also keep you feeling fuller for longer!

6. Soup keeps you fuller for longer!

7. The wider the choice the more you eat variety is good but keep focused on the things that are good for you!

‎8. Low fat dairy helps excrete fat from your food.

‎9. Exercise goes on burning fat even when you sleep.

10. Keep moving and lose weight.

I can also recommend some interesting books on the subject...

Gary Taubes - The Diet Delusion

Mark Sisson - The Primal Blueprint

If you’re on a weight adjustment plan, I would highly recommend these books. There’s others as well, but that’s for another time.
