how to reduce wait 

I don't know if you've tried this, but if you eat protein (rather than sugar or starches) it can help fend off hunger longer.

A couple of scrambled eggs or a scoop of tuna salad can be filling and keep the hunger away. (This, obviously, isn't a whole diet program. Its just a hint about an easy lunch or breakfast that tends to fend off hunger more than, say, toast and margarine or pancakes would.)

If you live under stress you may be hungry because your hormones are under a stress response, causing you to be hungry. Its Nature's way of trying to stop your stress response in order to put you in a healthier state.

One sign of Type II diabetes is being hungry all the time, so if its really bad you should get checked out.

Here are some simple steps you must follow to reduce weight:

1. Stretch your meals to, at least, 20 minutes or longer.
2. Drinking 8 glasses of water a day is important to your health, your normal diet and to help lose weight.
3. Go fat free or low fat diets.
4. Increase your metabolism by as much as 40% by using hot and spicey foods such as hot peppers of all varieties and mustards.
5. Begin a stress management program including some exercise and relaxation exercises.
6. To lose weight faster, reduce your intake of caffeine. Caffeine leads to an increase of insulin in your body, which retards the burning of your stored fat.
7. Increase your intake of fiber rich foods. They will help fill you up faster and will help all the food you eat pass through your digestive system more easily.
8. Exercise is probably the most important key to increasing your metabolism and burning off excess fat.
9. To lose weight quickly, never skip a meal.

It is a difficult task to reduce weight. To reduce weight it is essential that you control your diet and at the same time you go with some weight bearing exercises. But in both the cases it is strictly advisable that you do it under supervision of an expert dietician and a trainer respectively. When you will go for weight bearing exercises, it will stress your muscles and thereby burn your stored energy. If you go for simultaneous diet control, it will help you prevent addition of further weight. Don't go for medication as there might be some side affects to your health.

Well Masood 70% of our weight depends on the food we take. So the best way to reduce weight is to control or food, that is to eat less of fats and oils. Fatty food such as non veg, ghee, butter, fried iteams, sweets, icecreams should be avoided as they put on weight. Along with this doing exercises and yoga can bring back the body into the shape and you feel much energetic then.

First you need to up your activity level even if it's only a half hour extra of walking. Besides depleting calories it builds muscle which burns calories quicker & looks better.

Then you need to learn how to graze. Instead of eating 3 full meals & snacks or eating only one or two late in the afternoon you need to eat all day.

Breakfast is important because your body has been w/o food for 6-8 hrs. or more. Give it something to eat before it says it's hungry. If you wait until you feel hungry you'll overeat. Try cornflakes with half a banana or oatmeal & a glass of oj for breakfast. If you prefer eggs make them poached or boiled. One slice of toast (butter spray or no fat butter) & oj. Coffee black or with unsweetened sugar.

Take your fav. veggies & fruits, cut them up & refrigerate for snacks through the day. Use BBQ sauce, mustard or no fat mayo or dip if desired.

For lunch have tuna, grilled chicken breast or sliced turkey preferably on whole wheat (fiber) with any of the condiments listed. You can even add onion slices, pickles, tomato, lettuce and/or green peppers. A small tomato & lettuce salad with no fat dressing is good as well. Then a glass of grapefruit, tomato, oj, grape, apple, V8, pomegrante juice or unsweetened tea or coffee.

For dinner 3 oz. portion of grilled chicken breast or any other low in fat meat. Then steam or boil your veggies in water using spices to up the flavor. One or two dinner rolls (again u can use butter spray or low fat) and the above drinks.

This sounds like a lot but it really isn't as most veggies & fruit have little to no calories. You're piecing all day so there is no real hunger. If you think it's hunger suck on a peppermint & drink water as dehydration sometimes disguises itself as hunger.

Enjoy your food instead of mindlessly stuffing it in. If indulging don't eat it all. If you enjoy the texture & taste savor it and a few bites will be enough.

If you like bread either use the no fat spray or spread OR low fat jelly. Not both. If you're satified by one slice don't eat two. After dinner put the dishes in the sink or washer & take a brief walk. Stop eating at least 2 hrs. before bedtime or if you must eat pop a few grapes or veggies or suck on a mint & drink plenty of water. It's better for your digestive system.

Most of those like us tend to eat w/o thinking about it or out of boredom or don't get hungry until the afternoon or later. But by grazing you're satisfying the real hunger with good food & not depriving yourself. You didn't gain weight overnight so you won't lose it overnight either. Just as you had days when you were smaller that were both good & bad calorie wise you'll continue to have while attempting to lose them. Don't beat yourself up over it as it tends to make you want to quit trying since you already blew it. Don't make excuses. Just say to yourself it was a bad moment, not a complete loss & get back on track.

You can do it if you really want to. I know because I've been there. Good luck.

Diet quacks announce triumphantly that it takes 35 miles of hiking to lose 1 pound of fat. Who has the time or energy to stroll 35 miles, say the faddists. No one, of course, except perhaps a boxer in training, and chances are that he's in better trim than you or I. At any rate we hope so, for his survival.

It's true that we don't take daily 35-mile jaunts. However if we walk 1.2 miles more per day than we do now, our strolls will add up to 35 miles each month. This amounts to a pound of weight each month, or 12 pounds a year. Chances are that during your ascendancy to obesity you did not gain this much in a single year.

"Walk, do not ride", might very well become America's slogan in routing obesity. Every time you pace off a mile you burn up about half an ounce of food - and it does not matter very much how fast or slowly you walk. The athlete who blazes a mile in slightly less than four minutes grabs the headlines, but the businessman or housewife who ambles the distance in half an hour gains equal benefits without heart strain.

The time has come to stop debunking exercise. If we have to debunk anything, let us debunk the mechanization which has padded so many American housewives with unnecessary fat.

Altogether it is safe to say that the wonders of mechanization make a difference of about 1000 calories a day to you as a modern housewife. Seven thousand extra calories add up to 2 pounds a week. Now it is quite true that you do not gain 104 pounds a year. You eat less food than your mother did because you utilize less energy.

(See our handy calorie counter)

Besides, you could not gain as much as 100 pounds because each new weight gain requires more calories to maintain obesity. The heavier you are, the more you must eat to keep that unattractive fat, and even the most obese people have their limits of food consumption. However, most housewives have not reduced their intake of food in proportion to their reduction of activity around the house. It is reasonable to assume that in many cases weight gains of 10 to 15 pounds a year are attributable to the replacement of human energies by machines.

Exercise Can Help You

I am not pleading for a return to the "good old days" of endless washing, cleaning, and cooking. Your new leisure should be used to make your life richer and more interesting. The hours of freedom should broaden your personality but not your hips. They should provide healthful physical exercise as well as mental stimulation. An occasional eighteen holes of golf, for example, involves about 600 calories of walking, swinging, and despairing. There are added bonuses of muscle tone, and a healthy complexion painted by sun and wind is most attractive.

For the nongolfer, walking is the exercise supreme.

Not so long ago the walk was a social grace. You and your husband, strolling arm in arm through city and country, can gain a new appreciation of your surroundings and of each other. In the process you become trimmer at the rate of 75 to 100 calories per mile.

Dancing is another form of enjoyable exercise usually discarded well before middle life.

This is an especially delightful way to shed 170 calories an hour. It is likely that a renewal of the dancing which was so important before marriage will lead to a rebirth of grace, agility, and coordination. In any case you will gain more from an evening of fox trotting than an afternoon at a charm school - and the bill will be much less.

It is quite true that exercise without regard to eating habits may be of no consequence in losing weight. But the combination of moderate exercise with moderate dieting is irresistible. In fact it is imperative.

As little as 30 minutes of exercise per day will do wonders for your waistline.

hi masood !
Even small weight losses have shown to be beneficial.

Make gradual changes in eating habits. (The human body reacts negatively when calories are reduced by slowing basal metabolic rate. This makes weight loss harder.)

You will lose weight when you burn more calories than you consume. Hence eating less and being more active help in losing weight.

Sound eating habits keep you out of putting on weight.

Stay motivated to lose weight.

Slow weight loss is the safest and most effective. ( one to one and half pound per week).

A person who is moderately active needs daily, 33 calories per kg of body weight to maintain his weight .

Reducing calories intake by 300 per day and increasing the physical activity to burn 200 calories per day results in weight loss of 400 Gms per week.

To satisfy basic nutritional needs eat a variety of foods every day. Choose from each of the five food groups milk, meat, fruit, vegetable and cereals. Balanced food plans encourage making wise choices about everyday food choices. This type of diet helps to stay at your proper weight for life.

Allow for an occasional treat.

Evaluate your eating pattern.

Try to cut down on foods high in fats and sugar.

Most successful weight – loss plans stress on reduction in both calories and the amount of fat eaten

Physical activity:

Determine the type of physical activity that suits your life style.

Regular aerobic exercise like brisk walking, jogging or swimming, is a key factor in achieving permanent weight loss and improving health

Health experts recommend exercising 30 minutes or more on all, days of the week for maximum benefits. The exercises should be moderately vigorous to be most effective but not exhausting.

Incorporate few simple measures to burn calories effectively. Like- taking an after dinner walk, using stairs instead of escalators or elevators, parking the car farther away to have a longer walk etc.

Exercises also improve sense of well being ,decreases stress and decreases appetite in some.

10 Essential Tips

Fry or sauté foods in a non-stick cook wear with low-calorie fat.

Baking or boiling is recommended instead of frying.

Eat high-fiber foods.

Use sugar substitutes while sweetening foods and beverages.

Opt for light menus in restaurants, or purchase low-calorie or reduced-fat products at the grocery store.

Never skip meals. Eat three to six times a day in smaller portions to avoid getting hungry.

Use a smaller plate at mealtime to satisfy your psychological need to see a full plate.

Eat and chew slowly. Stop eating before you feel full. (It takes 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain that it is full!)

Weigh yourself on a regular schedule, but don’t become a slave to your scale.

Reward yourself with pleasures other than food--buy some new clothes, get a different hair style, see a movie, visit a friend, etc.

An easy way to lose weight is to develop two important habits. Eat fewer calories (calories-in) and burn more calories (calories-out).

To decrease weight and get rid of obesity three things must be kept in mind:
