This blog contains lots of useful information and suggestions that, when followed, will improve your health. And for the most part, everything is practical. I always think "would I do that" before writing about something. There is, however, some advice out there that is impractical.
Here is some weight loss wisdom that may be worth rethinking:
- Drinking 8 glasses of water - When I do this I literally have to go to the bathroom every five minutes. It is the most annoying thing in the world. (Well, one of the most annoying)
- Don't eat after 7 p.m. - Yeah right! I don't even get home from work / the gym before 8. Unfortunately this is never gonna happen. Having said that, I eat every few hours anyway so my dinner (late as it is) isn't usually too big. Then I have another healthy snack just before bed so that my metabolism can keep moving.
- Eat only slow-cooked oatmeal. - If I had more than 5 minutes each morning for breakfast, I would use it to sleep. If you're like me and rely on instant oatmeal, try to use the unflavoured kind and add your own berries and some sweetener instead of the sugar-filled "flavoured packets" of oatmeal available in stores.
- Don't weigh yourself. - I can't help this. I weigh myself almost daily when I'm trying to lose weight. My scale also has a body-fat calculator and I use this scale more as motivation. If the numbers go down (including the body fat) then I know I'm headed in the right direction. If they're not, then I need to kick it up a notch.
