HOW TO GET SLIM - MEANS TO REDUCE WEIGHT
The reason why a person is over-weight, usually consists of several factors. To successfully achieve a goal of weight reduction, you must attack every factor that have made you over-weighted and that are maintaining your over-weight. Here are the things you can do summerized.
1. Eat less fat
If you eat much fat, you must reduce the daily intake of fat, to do so:
* Choose fat poor fish, fat poor meat/beef, chicken, turkey, mushrooms and other food sources with law fat content as the main components for dishes.
* Cut away visible fat from meat or other food sources.
* Do not add much margarine, butter or oil to your food.
* When you fry something, try to use as little fatty smear in the pan as possible.
2. Eat less sugar
If you eat much sugar, reduce your daily intake of free sugar, or bounded sugar as in flour, potatoes and the like:
* Do not add much sugar to your food.
* You may also need to consume less bread, potatoes, peas and beans, if you eat very much of it, but do not stop eating these kinds of food, since they contain valuable nutrients. However, use bread made of full corn.
3. Avoid excessive alcohol consume
Alcohol contains energy, and will be transformed to fat, if you consume too much of it.
4. Avoid preprocessed food with added and often hidden fat or sugar
Some food contains a great amount of hidden fat or sugar, especially fast food, snacks or preprocessed food.
* Therefore you should avoid eating much of products like: cakes, sweet drinks, snacks, chocolate, ice-cream or fast-food.
* You should also buy all the food you use in a natural form, and make your dishes yourself. Then you achieve an absolute control over the amount of fat and sugar in your dishes.
5. Eat less altogether, but do not starve yourself
Having reduced the amount of sugar and fat from your diet, you may fall to the temptation of eating more than before, because the new composition of your food does not satisfy your hunger. You should be aware of, and avoid this trap.
* When trying to loose weight, you should reduce the total amount of the food you eat.
* However, you should not starve yourself. To starve will only make you tired and sick, and then make you interrupt your efforts to get slim.
6. Eat regularly
Regular eating habits will give you a stable blood sugar level, help you control your appetite and normalize your fat burning physiology.
* You should eat three or four meals each day.
* Each meal should contain the same moderate amount of sugar and fat.
* Each meal should contain some protein sources like fish, meat, eggs, mushrooms or protein-rich seeds, and in every means be as nutritionally complete as possible.
7. Increase your daily physical activity
Physical activity increases fat burning and will help you control your appetite.
* Do some daily exercises of a kind that increases energy consumption: Jogging, cycling, swimming, ball play, skiing, and so on.
* Do also some exercises to increase your muscular volume, since muscles will burn fat, for example weight lifting.
8. Find some new hobby or interest
If you find yourself some new hobby or leisure activity, you will avoid boredom and the temptation to over-eat because you are bored. Try also to do interesting activities together with other people. The new activities will also give you less time to only sit eating.

. You still need proteins and some fat and carbohydratesEven though you should reduce the amount of fat and carbohydrates in the diet, you still need some fat. The fat in fat fish, nuts, almonds and sunflower is good for your health in moderate amount. Therefore you should have some of all of these food types in your diet. Variate between all these food types to get a mixture of several good fat types.
You also need carbohydrates as in full corn cereals and fruit, but without added sugar. Therefore full corn cereals, full corn bread, fruit and vegetables should be a part of your diet.
It is also necessary to consume enough proteins. Good protein sources are lean fish, lean meat, mushrooms, seafood and foul.
10. Eat healthy food to increase your fat burning capacity
A generally healthy diet with all needed proteins, vitamins, minerals, fibers, anti-oxidants and essential fatty acids will increase the ability to burn fat. You should also eat food in as natural a form as possible, and avoid industrially processed food and fat, like that fat found in margarine.
Eating healthy food will also help to get rid of excessive water trapped in the body, and also this will make you slimmer.

11. Bring your appetite under control
Many of the measures already listed, will also help you to control your appetite. If this still is difficult, this problem may be attacked by specific means:
* Daily meditation can help to relax your mind and gain control.
* Psychological counseling may be necessary.
12. The ratio between fat and sugar in your diet
The total mount of fat and carbohydrates combined, is a key factor in causing obesity, not fat alone or carbohydrates alone. In some weight loosing regimes, one eats very little carbohydrates, and fairly much fat. In others one eats fairly much carbohydrates, and very little fat. The proponents of each type of regime claim that their approach helps the body to burn fat better.
Probably people are different, and react differently when trying to manipulate the diet in these ways. As a first approach, it is probably not wise to try such extreme approaches. However, if you have brought your eating habits under control, and still not achieved a satisfactory result, you can try to manipulate the fat/carbohydrate ratio to see if this will help. But do not stop consuming fat or charbohydrates altogether. You will always need some essential fatty acids in your diet and some useful carbohydrates called glyconutriens.
13. Get sleep during the whole night
You should should get sleep during the whole night. Night waking has proven to regulate down the the total 24 hours bodily activity, and is a causal factor of over-weight.
14. Avoid night eating
You should also not eat during the night. Meals during night has a greater tendency to be converted to fat.
15. Use of herbs and herbal preparations to ease weight loss
The spices cayenne and ginger have proven to speed up the metabolism. Cayenne also increases the blood flow in tissues. These effects then accellerate the burning of fat and sugar, and can help the slimming effort. Cayenne also helps to regulate an abnormal appetite. It is therefore wise to include these spices in your daily cooking.
Coffeine and coffeine-like compound in many herbs also speed up the metabolic break-down of fat and sugar. A moderate consume of coffee or tea can therefore also help the slimming process.
The herbal ingredient Pinnothine form the south Asian tree Pinus Coreanensis and the herb Hodia Gordonii from Africa has proven to regulate down an excessive appetite.
There are many herbal preparations on the market containing the mentioned and other herbs to help slimming, and using such a preparation during the weight loss project, can be of help.
Herbal preparations can have one or more of these effects: Increased fat or sugar burning, increased vigour and ability to be active, reduction of appetite, reduced fat or sugar uptake from the intestines.
Herbal preparations that reduce appetite, or preparations that reduce the uptake of sugar and fat from the intestines should be used only a limited period and within recommanded doses. Also herbal products to increase fat and sugar burning may be recommanded for use only a certain period, and within certain doses.
16. Pharmacological medicines to ease weight loss
Historically amphetamine and several amphetamine derivates has been used to speed up fat burning and to lower the appetite. Due to the chance of getting addicted and other dangerous side effects, amphetamine itself and several of the derivates are by now illegal for this purpose.
Legal amphetamine-like compounds to ease weight loss on the market today are: Phentermine, diethylpropion, phenidmetrazine, benzphetamine, sibutramine, rimonabant, oxyntomodulin and fluoxetine hydrochloride (Prozac). These preparates work mainly by reducing the appetite, but some of them also increase the metabolic activity.
Such preparates are generally recommanded to use only a short period, and within strict doses, since they still have some of the side effects of amphetamine.
17. Do not over-consume salt
Too much salt in the food is not good for the circulatory health. Salt also binds water in the body, and contributes to excessive water or edema in the body tissues. Reducing salt consume will help get rid of this water and also this will reduce the weight and fat apparence.
Getting rid of the edema will also make the body more capable to get rid of the excessive fat stored in the body.
18. Doing yoga exercises
Some persons report that regular yoga practice has helped them to loose weight. Yoga can make the body work better in every aspect, and it is therefore probable that yoga also will increase the methabolic activities and thereby help to get rid of excessive fat.
It is even more probable that yoga will improve the fluid circulation in the body, and thus help to reduce also excessive water deposits in the body.

SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OVER-WEIGHT AND SLIMMING METHODS
WHAT IS AN EXCESSIVE WEIGHT
Maximum 20 - 25 per cent of the weight of a person should be fat. With a greater percentage of fat on the body, one is over-weighted.
However, a person can also have chronic excessive water gathering in body parts, a condition called edema. Also this condition can make a person thick and appearing fat.
These two components of obesity often exist side by side, and are to some extend enforcing each other. A treatment regime against over-weight must address both these components.
Since it is the percentage of fat that defines over-weight or over-fatness, one cannot just relay on the apparence of the figure to decide whether a person is over-weighted or not.
One can measure the volume of the body by immerging the person in water, and then calculate the physical density by dividen the wight with the volume. Since fat is lighter than the rest of the body, a physical density smaller than a certain value indicates over-weight.
A simple method to assessing the weight state, is taking a skin-fold on the stomach between two fingers and measure the thickness of the tissue one grabs between the fingers If the fold is thicker than 2,5 cm, a person is probably over-weighted.
Also comparing the size proportion between body parts can give a hint. If the midt has a greater circumference than the hips, also the person probably is over-weighted.
THE CAUSES OF EXCESSIVE WEIGHT
If you eat more nutrients containing energy than you need for your daily activities, for the internal processes of your body, and for the burning process that maintains the body temperature, the excessive nutrients can be transformed to fat and stored in the fat depots in your body. The causes of this occurring, and thus of overweight, are one or more of these factors:
1. Consuming too much fat: Fat is the most energy-rich nutrient, and over-consume will cause the excessive fat consumed to be deposited in the body.
2. Consuming too much sugar, starch or other carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are also important energy sources. Over-consume of carbohydrates will cause the excess to be converted to fat and stored in the body.
3 Consuming too much alcohol: Also this substance contains energy, and excessive consume results in fat stored in your body.
4. Consuming too much of preprocessed products: Products made ready to eat or drink, usually have added and often hidden fat or sugar, for example: Sweet beverages, cakes, ice-cream, fast food and snacks.
5. Eating too much altogether: Perhaps your food is not fat- or sugar-laden, but you simply eat too much altogether. Also protein will be converted to fat if it is overconsumed.
6. Irregular eating: If you eat much at one time, little at another time, consume huge doses of sugar at some times, no sugar at other times, or eat at irregular intervals, you can get an uncontrollable appetite, a swinging blood sugar level, or an abnormal metabolism. These physiological problems may make you deposit fat in your body.
7. A still sitting life: If you do not move very much in your daily life and do not exercise, you will burn little fat and sugar.
8. Boredom in your daily life: If you do not have much hobbies or leisure activities, or you isolate yourself from other people, you may suffer form boredom, and excessive eating may be your way of getting entertainment.
9. Decreased fat burning capacity: The body has some capacity of burning some extra amount of sugar or fat. This capacity may be decreased because of lack of vitamins and minerals, and because of an unsound diet.
10. An abnormal appetite: You may feel an abnormal appetite that urges you to eat far more than you need. This abnormal appetite may originate from psychological causes, an unsound diet or lack of exercise.
11. Being awake during night: The habit of being awake during night has proven to be a cause of excessive weight. Night time waking reduces the over-all 24 hours activity of the body.
12. Night time eating: Fat and sugar in meals taken in during night are in greater extend converted to stored fat than nutrients from meals during the day. Therefore night time eating can contribute to over-weight.
ANALYZE YOUR OBESITY PROBLEMS AND MAKE A WEIGHT LOSS PLAN
Before beginning your weight reduction program, go through all obesity causing factors listed above, to find out what factors contribute to your over-weight problem. Go down to details. For example: If you find you consume too much sugar, find out the exact food types contributing to your excessive sugar consume. Write everything down.
With the performed analysis in hand, make a plan for your weigh reduction. Decide a goal for your weight. Decide one or more measures for each component contributing to your problem. Write down your plan.
Having made your plan for your weight reduction, the time has come to carry it out. After each week, go through the points in your plan, and evaluate how well you did. Also check your weight. Write down for every point in your plan how well you did.
WHAT IS A HEALTHY DIET
Here are the most important properties of a healthy diet summerized.
* Eat as natural food as possible, avoid food that has been heavily cooked, heavily fried or chemically processed. Natural food has its content of protein, vitamins minerals and anti-oxidants intact, and these are necessary for the fat burning abilities.
* Each meal should contain enough proteine of high value. Sources of such proteine is fish, poultry, mushrooms, lean meat and low fat diery products. Eggs are also a very good source of proteins and many other valuable nutrients. Eggs contain much cholesterole, however, so avoid eating too much eggs.
* Eat some raw fruit and vegetables to each meal, since these contain vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants you need.
* You may benefit from supplements of vitamins, minerals, herbs, anti-oxidants, as these will make your body more capable of burning fat.
* Even though you must eat just little or moderate amounts of fat, you will need some fat in your diet. The little fat you use in your diet, should be a blending of mono-unsaturated fat, omega-3-unsaturated fat and omega-6 unsaturated fat, and with only little saturated fat and cholesterole. Chemically altered fat, so called trans fat should be avoided alltogether.
To achieve this, the fat you get should come from sources like olive, peanuts, canola, fish, nuts, almonds, sun-flower, flax seeds or oils made from these sources.
Combine or variate between all these sources of good fat, not just one of them. Then you will get a good balance between mono-unsaturated fat (olive, canola, almonds and peanuts), poly-unsaturated fat of the omaga-3-type (fish and flax seeds) and poly-unsaturated fat of the omega-6-type (sunflower, nuts).
Many people use only soy oil for cooking and frying, or palm oil. This is dangerous because you then will get too much omega-6 fat. Omega-6 fat also easily degenerate by heating and convert into harmful substances. By using only palm oil you will get too much saturated fat.
* Avoid fast food, snacks and cookies. These are also ofte cooked using olive oil, palm oil or trans fat, and typically contain very much fat or sugar.
* Consume whole cereals or bread made from whole unrefined cereals.
