Cravings

Jag samlar ju mer eller mindre allt här.. så jag åtminstone slipper gå in på tio olika sidor för att leta upp allt. Så här kommer en till lista, om man verkligen inte klarar av att träna. [Källa]

This is for those who can’t stop eating and hate exercising:

• Drink lots and lots of cold water.
• Always remove skin from fruit like apples and pears.
• Never have egg yolks, only egg whites.
• Avoid all fried foods.
• Avoid all red meats.
• Stick to chicken or fish (steamed) for protein.
• Avoid all nuts – they are the most trickily high-calorie foods ever. 5 macadamia nuts are a caloric equivalent to one very large apple (WITH skin).
• Avoid dairy, especially cheeses.  Always choose low-fat milk or skim milk.  Half a cup can stave away hunger.  Take calcium tablets with your meals.
• Obviously, no chocolates and chips.
• Avoid dried fruits – eat the fresh fruit equivalent instead!!
• Pile up on your veggies, and eat only pinches of the chicken/fish mentioned earlier.
• Carbs are OK but don’t go overboard.  Try cooked rice the size of your fist.  If you must have noodles, don’t go for those mixed in sauce.  Always go for soupy noodles (clear soups are best) and eat with chopsticks if you can.
• Try to select less sugary fruit.  Examples of sugary and starchy fruit include grapes, bananas, kiwi, mango, papaya.  Have apples, pears, oranges instead.  Cut the fruit and share with the rest of your family.  Preserve with sprinkled salt and store in your fridge.
• Cut out all drinks except brewed green tea and water.  After a week, you’ll really lose the taste for such “flavoured liquids”, I swear.

Similarly if you really can’t bring yourself to exercise and sweat it out, simply offer to do simple chores, tidy up your room and so on. It’s better than nothing. You could walk instead of run, or get yourself to the swimming pool for some leisurely laps rather than vigorous swimming. Just anything to get yourself moving. Always walk briskly (makes life more efficient, anyway), sing and dance in the shower till it becomes a habit, and take the stairs for great legs.
