Is throwing up really the best way to lose weight? Well, I'll tell ya. If you are one of those who tosses up when you are unhappy or bored, then you might as well just pack it up and go do something else. Believe me, I know what it's like, because I've been there! Believe me, I know how hard it is because I have tried every diet and fad out there, including all those pie-in-the-sky weight loss books that promised me overnight results and never was close to that!
The best way to lose weight? Lose weight the healthy way, that is, by eating right and getting off of your butt and into the kitchen to make some food that tastes like food! Here is why you're not going to see results throwing up all the time. It's because...
All of our food creates toxins within our bodies. Not just the poisons created by industrialized and genetically enhanced food, but the poisons our bodies create from the foods we eat on a daily basis. Our bodies are like machines and they are only as healthy as how well they are run. You may think this seems funny, but it is true.
Think about the last time you had a really bad snack. Did you feel gross, lethargic and overwhelmed after eating that little morsel? No! Did you feel good! That's what food is for. Food gives us fuel for our physical actions!
If you eat unhealthy food all day, your energy will come from unhealthy sources. It won't come from the energy that comes from exercising, whether it be walking the dog or lifting some weights at the gym. You will just be using fat and energy instead of burning it up!
This can affect your motivation to exercise as well. When you don't feel like going to the gym, it will be harder to stick with your exercise plan. And if you don't exercise, your junk food cravings will increase, along with your weight! Throw out the microwave, open a bottle of soda... Have you ever tried to quit one of these? It's hard! The mental aspect alone makes it nearly impossible!
The best thing you can do to combat this problem is to find food labels. All of the major fast food restaurants will have them on their menus now and since they are so expensive, they have to label them otherwise! Go online to find a list of the healthy foods that are in your area. Make a list of healthy foods that you can buy in bulk at the store as well, so that you won't have to go through the drive-through again.
You really can't afford not to clean out the fridge or freezer. Throw all of your junk food away and start eating healthy! Start today by making a few changes to your diet. Don't let them stop you from seeing your new slim body. It's not hard, and you're already taking small steps!
If you have to eat junk food, be sure that you are picking the high fat foods. While you might taste great, junk food really holds onto your calories and doesn't give you very many nutrients. Instead, choose lean meats and whole fruits and vegetables. Throw away those "health bars" that are so popular these days, too!
Look for lean cuts of meat and chicken breasts. Avoid eating processed meats and pre-made meals as much as possible. Get more fish in your diet! There are tons of fish out there that are healthy, low in fat and high in omega-3 fatty acids.
Get rid of all of your sweets. We all need to occasionally indulge in a sweet treat, but for those who want to lose weight, you don't need them! Get some fruit juice and put some fresh, loose honey into your coffee. You will feel healthier and your body will thank you for it!
It's okay if you have bad days. If you cannot control your emotions when you are feeling sick, you may find yourself throwing up at inappropriate times! Remember that everyone has bad days, so if you don't feel like throwing up, you can just drink water instead. If you feel like vomiting, go take a walk or do something that will make you feel better.
