| Think
thin. Adopt the habits of lean and healthy people, and you'll
soon be lean and healthy too. Eat breakfast, move around, and
eat more foods with a high fiber or water content.
Eat breakfast, because
if you don't you are likely to wind up hungrier later in the
day. Lean and healthy people eat breakfast. They choose nutritious
foods and don't fill up on empty, sweet calories. When you eat
a hearty, lean breakfast such as a cooked, whole grain cereal,
you're telling your body that it has plenty of food. Thin people
know that skipping breakfast is a good way to throw off your
body's metabolic balance. They eat breakfast, and so should
you.
Get up and move around.
Don't think of it as exercise. Just get your blood flowing and
use your body. Even if you're on a deadline at work, take three
minutes to stretch every hour. If you drive to work every day,
make it a habit to park far away from the front door. Even the
small effort that you exert walking from your parking spot to
the office will benefit you. Thin, fit people don't always take
the closest parking spot. Observe the people who get out of
their cars at the curb. They aren't usually fit. .
People who don't
have weight issues tend to eat a lot of foods with a high bulk
or water content. Add fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grain
cereals, and foods like soups and salad to your meals. Chop
up a ripe, organic pear into your oatmeal in the morning. Eat
a banana instead of reaching for a handful of candy. Thin people
often seem to have an ability to appreciate simple, whole foods.
They don't often choose rich foods prepared with lots of creamy
sauces. Allow yourself the luxury of tasting each bite and chew
your food many times before swallowing it.
Choosing whole foods,
taking time to stretch and move around more, and starting off
your day with a wholesome breakfast is a great way to think,
act and become lean and healthy. |
