The best way to check the imbalance is to measure your
weight daily after getting up in the morning, peeing, and not taking anything
by mouth (as mentioned in some other post). Over a period of 1-week data will tell you whether you are more
at intake or vice versa. Most probably, it is the former case.
First of all, you have to check your daily routine. Is there
any way you can increase your expense, e.g. if you can take long brisk walks,
or do certain things which you usually miss, for example using stairs rather
than lifts or escalators, doing kitchen chores standing up, surfing and
browsing standing up, doing most of your work yourself, etc. While a bird’s eye view of your daily routine will let you
know that you can tremendously increase your expense, whilst keeping intake the
same. It will make a lot of difference. Checking your weight, after increasing
your expense for another couple of days will tell you the difference.
A point of caution here is about two things, which you might
want to adopt, but follow this:
- 1 When you keep your intake the same and increase daily expenses, of course, your body will require more energy and so you will feel hungry hours after eating. This is the proper challenge; you have to say no to any extra intake. Just bear with the hunger. Believe me, there are no adverse effects of these and there is no other way.
- Enthusiastic ladies may want to increase the expense rapidly to such an extent that intake will fall way behind and thus will lead to a strong urge to eat. The body will feel totally energy less, which may lead to over-eating. What you have to do is to change your routine in such a way that things which you were not doing previously now will be adopted by you, no more and keeping the intake the same.
Do it for 3-4 weeks and see the difference for yourself. I
will talk about exercise and its role in reducing weight and living stylishly
healthy in some other post.
