Tip #1
Eat Breakfast
According to a 2001 Huffington
Post article 31 million Americans skip breakfast every single day and thus to
help maximize their weight gain. Your body has been fasting all night long, so
skipping breakfast puts the body in starvation mode. This results in the body
slowing down its metabolism for the whole day, which creates a larger appetite
for dinner. In order to prevent your body from going into starvation mode,
start your day by eating breakfast, as it is the most important meal of the
day. Breakfast will revive your metabolism from its fasting state, which took
place when you were sleeping, and help curb your appetite throughout the day.
Studies have shown people who eat breakfast tend to be skinner than people who
skip breakfast.
Tip #2
Eat Every Three Hours
Eating every three hours keeps
your metabolism working all day. It helps maintain proper blood sugar control,
which prevents fat storage; and keeps your hunger hormones in check, which
ensures better portion control and no over-eating. Sumo Wrestlers avoid
breakfast and other snacks, and only eat 1 to 2 meals a day. Usually, Sumo
Wrestlers binge eat at night to ensure a great caloric surplus, which increases
insulin release and fat storage, for maximum weight gain.
Tip #3
Get Good Quality Sleep
This is probably asking for a
lot but we as a society are not getting enough sleep. We live in fast paced
society where we are constantly on the go but that lifestyle is also helping in
the obesity epidemic. Studies have shown that poor sleep is an important
indicator of obesity. People who sleep less tend to gain weight due to through
the activation of hormonal responses leading to an increase in appetite and
caloric intake and thus increase the risk of obesity. As there are many causes
on why sleep is important to aid in weight loss just remember 7-9 hours of
sleep is associated better weight loss and weight control than with people who
sleep less than 7 hours a night. Make quality sleep a habit in your life as
this will provide you with a plethora of health benefits.
Tip #4
Do Not Eat a Large Dinner and
Go Straight to Bed
A lot of Americans binge eat at
night, watch TV, then go to sleep. That practice provides no way to maintain
proper glycemic control or to burn off the thousands of calories consumed at
dinner. It also builds bad sleep hygiene practices, which will also prevent
proper weight loss. Eating and going to sleep is exactly how most obese
Americans achieve weight gain. They will binge eat for 3 to 4 hours per night
and go straight to bed; that practice releases large amounts of insulin, which
prevents fat breakdown and aids in fat storage throughout the night.
