How to Use Chewing Gum to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

Diet is the most important factor of weight loss. You could be working out hours daily, but without adequate nutrition, your body will not shed fat.Consider cutting out a majority of processed and fast foods. Eliminating sodas, white flour/rice/pastas, candy, fried foods, chips, and cake will not only help you lose weight but help your body in the long run. Eat wholesome, natural foods from the major macronutrient categories:Carbohydrates: ex. sweet potatoes, brown rice, oatsProteins: ex. chicken breasts, lean cuts of beef, beans, greek yogurtFats: ex. salmon, avocado, peanut butter, flaxseedsFiber: ex. broccoli, collard greens, fruits, vegetablesTry to eat a balance- don't go cutting out all the carbs or fats- your body needs each of these despite what the media may tell you.If dieting is new to you and this all seems too much, consider taking it slow- make a list of healthy, processed foods you enjoy eating. Make another list of not so healthy foods you love. Eat 80% from the healthy side, 20% from the other. This way you am enjoy in moderation.As for exercise, it's more important to do something you like and stick with it than doing the exercise that 'burns the most calories'. Consider working out in the gym- incorporate compound movements to build strength like squats, deadlifts, and benching. It will help you out in the field too. However, if that's not your thing, consider walking outside, biking, soccer, or as you already mentioned, football. As long as you keep it consistent and are enjoying it, you will reap the benefits.Overall, the most important piece of advice I can give you is to stay educated. Read articles and books, watch documentaries and videos, visit websites on these topics. Don't let the media convince you what is healthy (special K is not. neither is 'zero calorie' soda). Read your food labels and stay away from something you can't pronounce.
