Here's a quick riddle for you to consider. It's everywhere because almost everyone wants it yet most never achieves it. What do you think it is? It is weight loss and it's hard to get. You can't flip through the pages of a magazine or the channels on television without being bombarded by advertisements for a new breakthrough miracle weight loss solution. It seems like almost everyone has the answer yet there are so many people that are still overweight in our society.
Maybe you've tried some of these "quick and easy" solutions, and maybe one word sums up the way you feel. That one word is frustrated. So, is there anything out there that actually works? The first thing to understand is that there are no overnight "miracles." The hard truth is that the real secret to weight loss is doing the right things consistently for the rest of your life. Doing the right things will cause you to lose weight but as soon as you stop and go back to your old ways, the weight will come back, and come back with a vengeance. And along with that so will the frustration. Sometimes it's referred to as yo-yo dieting.
That's why the most optimal way to lose weight is to become well educated on the subject of nutrition and weight loss. The internet has an immense amount of information. Some of the information is good and a lot bad. That's why your best option is to talk to a healthcare provider that has already helped countless others and can shorten the process for you.
That being said, researchers have found when people eat quickly, they end up consuming more calories than they would have if they ate more slowly. In fact, according to a new study referenced in a February 10, 2010 New York Times article, "scientists found that when a group of subjects were given an identical serving of ice cream on different occasions, they released more hormones that made them feel full when they ate it in 30 minutes instead of 5. The scientists took blood samples and measured insulin and gut hormones before, during and after eating. They found that two hormones that signal feelings of satiety, or fullness - glucagon-like peptide-1 and peptide YY - showed a more pronounced response in the slow condition."
This means you eat less in the long run. The New York Times article also mentioned a study done by the American Dietetic Association that reported subjects felt more full and consumed 10% less calories when they ate slowly as opposed to shoveling down their food. Additionally, a study in The British Medical Journal stated those who ate faster and until full had tripled the rate of being overweight compared with others that ate slower.
What does all this mean for someone like you? This research simply suggests if you eat slower you are likely to feel fuller and consume fewer calories. This of course is not a weight loss miracle but it sure does help someone trying to lose weight. One thing to consider is that feeling full is nice, and eating fewer calories over the long run may lead to weight loss and greater health. Many may think this isn't a big deal. But remember that little hinges open big doors. It's the accumulation of small things done consistently over a period of time that leads to great success. Stop looking for the big home run and start hitting singles to get to the end result. And, educate yourself as much as you possibly can on the subject of nutrition. There is tons of information available for weight loss and health education everywhere.
