Here
are some interesting additional ways to lose weight and keep it off.
Creative approaches often work better.
One
sure method of reducing weight is by practising what is known as "fletcherism."
It was discovered in 1898 by american Horace Fletcher. At 40, Fletcher
considered himself an old man. He was 50 pounds overweight, contracted
flu every six months and constantly complained of indigestion and a
tired feeling. After a long and deep study, he made some important discoveries
and prescribed the rules for "Fletcherism" which are as follows:
1. Chew your food to a pulp or milky liquid until it practically swallows
itself.
2. Never eat until hungry.
3. Enjoy every bite or morsel, savouring the flavour until it is swallowed.
4. Do not eat when tired, angry, worried, and at meal-time refuse to
think or talk about unpleasant subjects.
Horace Fletcher followed these rules for five months. As a result he
lost more than 60 pounds and felt better than he had for 20 years, and
many people have followed his advice to health over the years. A weight
reducing programme built on Fletcherism works wonders and is well worth
a try.
Cabbage is considered to be an effective home remedy for obesity. Recent research
has discovered tartroric acid which inhibits the conversion of sugar
and other carbohydrates into fat, so cabbage is of great value in weight
reduction. Variations of cabbage recipes would be the simplest way to
stay slim. A hundred grams of cabbage yields only 27 kilo calories of
energy while the same quantity of wheat bread will yield about 240 calories.
Cabbage is found to possess the maximum biological value with minimum
caloric value. Moreover, it gives a lasting feeling of fullness in the
stomach and is easily digestible, and great for your digestive tract.
We love cabbage.
Try this time-tested recipe for
weight-control without loss of energy: one spoon of fresh honey should
be mixed with a juice of half a lime in a glass of luke-warm water and
taken at regular intervals.
The foods which should be drastically curtailed or altogether avoided
are high-fat foods such as butter, cheese, chocolates, cream, ice-cream,
fat meats, fried foods, gravies, high carbohydrated foods like bread,
candy, cake, cookies, cereal products, legumes, potatoes, honey, sugar,
syrup, soda and alcoholic drinks.
