Healthy Weight Loss Tips

If food is your issue (and it usually is if you’re overweight) then you have to figure out a way to control your intake. Of course food is not something you can just cut out of your life, like cigarettes or alcohol. You have to have food. So you have to learn how to have it, but have the right kind and the right amounts.

The biggest way to get a grip on your food is by first making your environment safe. This means getting rid of all the temptation foods in your home, office, car, etc. You know what they are – they’re the ones you crave, binge on, and comb your cupboards/freezer for.

Bananas are not usually a fruit I go for. I love berries and apples the best, but occasionally I have a super high craving for a banana.

Why? The serotonin and norepinephrine in bananas can boost your mood and make you feel better. The vitamin B6 calms you and helps relieve stress. The magnesium helps your body recover from fatigue. (Bananas are even said to help alleviate PMS symptoms and hangovers.)
