Weight is an increasing problem with almost all families in the US, while some are trying to shed a few pounds; others are fighting with a few tens of pounds. Loosing weight is never easy; it requires determination, planning and the will power to stick to the plan, which can prove extremely difficult.

So it's understandable why the modern thinking about losing weight fast is all about starving yourself in order to lose weight. The problem with this thinking is that when you lose weight fast you slow your metabolism. When we skip meals or crash diet, our body is programmed to think it's starving and slows down our metabolism again to conserve energy.

So if starving yourself is doing the opposite of what we want shouldn't we just change our thinking and just eat more to lose more?

Here's my suggestion for "More" eating…

Before I get into the eating more food suggestions, I also suggest you should drink more. Drinking at least 6 to 8 glasses of water everyday keeps your body refreshed. Since weight loss depends on how the body eliminates body wastes, your body must stay hydrated.

Eating breakfast everyday is a big part of losing weight. Eating breakfast increases your rest metabolic rate earlier in the day, and reduces snacking before lunch. In fact, this is what successful weight losers do. Eat less and you will burn less. Eat more and you will burn much more.

Eat more foods rich in fiber as this helps keep food moving through your bowels rather than piling up inside you. Eating sufficient fiber foods, like water, also add bulk to your meals and have you feeling fuller for longer.

Eat more fresh, raw, or canned vegetables with each meal. That means eating green leafy veggies, but no dressing!

Eat more citrus fruits such as berries these foods are rich in vitamins C and E, which will help cleanse and detoxify the liver making it work more efficiently. This will allow your body to easily eliminate fat and toxins that store in the body's tissues. The idea is to release the old food and sugar addictions and give you body what it needs.

And finally eat your food "more" slowly, with each mouthful taking 30 seconds before you swallow. By eating like this you actually taste your food and this helps to stimulate the enzymes needed for digestion, so we absorb our food better. (The majority of us just throw our food without any thought.)

Eating fast without chewing food properly makes you eat more calories, because your stomach does not register how much food you actually consume. This is why you keep eating without feeling full and consuming extra calories.

Finally

Why not start preparing your own food - that way you know what you're putting into your body. So why not pack lunch for work or start cooking in advance for 3 days - example, make a huge bowl of soup on Sunday with a chicken or a bacon bone and lots of veggies and store it in the fridge. This way you've got good healthy convenience food at hand rather than a calorie laden substitute that you should avoid.
