How to Lose 10 Pounds

 

Diets are not easy. Losing weight is not easy. On top of that, choosing a diet plan is not easy either. Where do you start? Should you buy a book, join a program, sign up for prepared meals? How much does it cost? Do they offer any kind of support ? What kind of food does it include?

This website will try to help you answer that question.

 

Hi, I am Alice. I am no expert, but here you can you can read my reviews on the different weight loss programs that I have tried. I think that a review by someone who has tried that particular diet program will help you decide what's best for you.

 

You can click on the diet plan you want to learn about, and I will give you my two cents. I do not quote any scientific research, I just give you my honest opinion on the plans that I have tried and hope that you find this information useful. Read what I think about Nutrisystem, Weight Watchers or the Sonoma Diet, my favorite so far.

Love candy too much? Here is how to control sugar cravings

Avoid those minipacks. Why? They are more tempting because

they claim that they are "healthier" and you are led to believe that

having just a bit of those oreo cookies, will satisfy you.

While it is true that smaller portions is the key to healthy eating,
according to a recent study, a small portion or a bite of something

you crave and has made you gain weight in the past, it may only

trigger a desire for more sugary snacks an hour later.

This might be because that chocolate bar may have been a

comfort food in the past, something that was perhaps filling an

emotional need instead of satisfying hunger.

The solution?

Take a small handfull of healthy trail mix instead. The small amount

of sugar from the dried fruits and the oil and protein in the nuts is a

more complete snack from a nutrition point of view.

Drink some water. Very often people confuse hunger and thirst.

If your craving is emotional, take a long walk. Exercise has been

proven to curb cravings for chocoholics. The reason? Walking

briskly releases endorphins (the anti-stress, feel-good hormones

produced by your body when you exercise) Can't walk because

your are at the office? Take the stairs insead of the elevator, and

do it fast.
By the time the oxygen reaches your brain, you will have forgotten

about your sweet cravings.
