Habits to cut for fat loss are often the most difficult ones to deal with and try to shake of your system, especially since you have grown accustomed to it and has been running your life all these years.

Habits to cut for fat loss need to be addressed

If you feel that you have done everything that you can to lose fat, but is clearly not seeing it no matter what, then for sure there is a point of failure in one or more of your daily activities and sometime unknowingly, it could be a habit that you have been doing in the past.

But truth be told that it is more than just your diet, it also has to do with our lifestyle or your eating habits.

It’s about time to get into grips with reality and stop denying the fact that you may be having some habits that run counter to your quest for fitness, fat loss or even your dream of having those six- pack abs.

Processed food versus whole foods

If you are a fan of canned goods, chips, cakes and cookies, then you should try to consider breaking free from it. Processed foods are high in calories and often have large amounts of sugar in them or other food additives that contribute to fat gain.

If you want to take the route to healthier living and a better body form, then this is something that you have to sacrifice first. Just by cutting down on processed foods, studies show that you will be able to shed of some 10 to 15 pounds in a couple of months.

Eating like someone is chasing you

You better believe it when your mom told you to savor your food instead of just gulping it down as you put it in your mouth.

A study published recently in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests that eating slowly and chewing your food properly lowers the risk of obesity as it aids in curbing down the appetite.

Not getting enough sleep

The stomach produces hormones that stimulate appetite, these are leptin and ghrelin. Ghrelin is the ’hunger hormone’ that is produced in the gastrointestinal tract and signals the body that the stomach is empty and thus needs to have food in it.

Leptin, on the other hand, is the hormone that signals the body when to stop eating.

Too much caffeine

Drinking too much beverages loaded with caffeine like energy drinks or carbonated soda beverages. It increases the production of the hormone cortisol that is responsible for the body to crave for sugary and junk foods.

Not enough water

There’s still no substitute for water. Water is a basic need of the body and could not be replaced by soda drinks, fruit juices or processed drinks that would make you thirsty, instead of quenching your thirsts because of the sugar it contains.

How to Reset After Vacation Like a Boss

how to reset

I recently came back from an awesome little family getaway to Wisconsin. There was good food, good friends, a lake and a boat, family togetherness, sailing (more on that later!) and a whole lot of wine. And while I did eat pretty healthy when I was out there and managed to walk a lot and squeeze one formal workout in, I have to say: I came home ready to get back to my healthier habits. Namely, eating less cheese (when in Wisconsin … ), hitting the gym and making big-ass salads the size of my face again. And I thought …
