Lose weight without Starvation

Weight loss is definitely a challenge, but it can be accomplished without starvation diets and excessive amounts of exercise. Starvation dieting lowers the metabolism rate lowering the immune system, energy level and mood. The key to a healthy dieting is patience and a sound strategy. 

Here are ways to lose weight without starvation:

• Eat protein rich foods. Protein rich foods that are naturally appetite sating and worth emphasizing in the diet include meat, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds.
• Eating after starvation increases weight gain. Hunger pains and diminished health will eventually entice you to eat. You will tend to eat more than normal.
• Eat breakfast each morning. You need the fuel to start your day. Opt for whole-grain cereal, fresh fruit, egg whites and lean protein for your morning meal.
• Begin each meal with a bowl of low-calorie soup to help fill you up. Make homemade chicken, cabbage or tomato soup, or opt for canned versions. Buy low-sodium versions to help reduce salt in your diet.
• Using smaller plates and bowls can help make it easier to eat enough, but not too much.
• Foods like pasta, white bread, and potatoes make you fat. If you must have pasta, make yours whole-wheat.
• Eating more slowly helps ensure that food is more likely to register in the body, and reduces the risk of eating more than is surplus to requirements.
