For me a fad diet made me lose weight, but that’s the short term weight. In the long term it’s the habit that I form that helped me to lose weight consistently.
Here’s what I did, which I learned from body clock diet:
- You should eat a big breakfast, and end it with light lunch and dinner. Body clock diet insist that foods eaten in the morning will convert into energy and get burned easier than foods eaten at night.
- Start your day with eating high protein breakfast.
- Grains and cereals should be only done in the morning to complement our body clock schedule. While dinner should involves low carbs.
- Get used to wake up at the same time everyday. That will let our body to adjust itself to control the production of melatonin hormone. The melatonin triggered the sleep, so by keeping the same gap between waking up and sleeping will ensure a constant peak of melatonin during the night. This will lead into a healthier life and better sleep.
- Morning sun will heat the temperature in your body. It warms up your body and set your internal clock in tune faster, your body temperature, energy and alertness will be optimized during the day.
While from the Japanese way of living I applied this into my daily life:
Walk more often! Do a lot of walking and climbing stairs on their daily activities.
Reduce my daily servings slowly
Don’t eat until you are full! Eat until you are 80% full.
Consume more fish based foods rather than meat based products.
Eating slower that I used to do.
Of course you still need to do the regular diet stuff, like not eating too much fat and do exercise. but these principles are flexible and should be applied to your life no matter you are dieting or not.
