During the holidays, I need calorie erasers. I always plan to make good choices, but often the sweets get the better of me. I know of two really effective erasers.
One is water. The more water I drink, the more fat my body burns. I read this somewhere, but before that, I found that drinking water seemed to make a huge difference in maintaining or losing weight. It's not just that the more water I drink, the less I eat. It is not just that often I am more thirsty than hungry and so once my thirst need is met, I don't want to eat anymore. It's all that, and a little bit more. Somehow, drinking the right amount of water helps me lose unwanted pounds.
Another (duh) is exercise. My husband is a skinny man. (You marry a person. . .think they're going to change. . .) When he overeats (and occasionally he does) he exercises more. Why? Because he's consumed more calories than normal, so he burns more calories than normal. (Skinny people. Who can figure them out?)
So that's what I'm working towards:
Increased exercise and water intake, decreased me,
