How to avoid late meals and snacks

March 24th, 2009

Snacking behind laptopNeedless to say that avoiding late meals or snacks have tons of benefits that can be easily found in any related article over the web. Instead of re-listing these benefits, I’d love to share a quick tip on how to stop consuming edible content in the evenings based on my own experience. It is a truly simple tip that requires a tiny bit of self-discipline and nothing but your laziness. Here comes the unique “BYTAD” approach. Hmm, seemingly it doesn’t say much to anyone except my silly brain. Anyway, let me reveal the secret behind this complicated non-sense abbreviation. Ladies and gentlemen, it stands for “Brush Your Teeth immediately After Dinner”! :)

Have difficulty to trace logic behind? Well, since I’m too lazy to brush my teeth twice in the evening, I’d prefer to apply a small portion of self-discipline than greatly torture my laziness. Once I had dinner and afterwards immediately brushed my teeth, all I can enjoy onwards is pure crystal water. In other words, brushing my teeth after dinner is acting as a mental prevention for further consumption during that particular day. Trust me, it is not only healthy, but also keeps my PC keyboard absolutely clean ;)

What’s your most efficient method to battle evening snacks?

Losing 6 kg (13,2 lbs) in 3 months

No, I certainly don’t intend to write an handbook on the topic, rather to briefly share my own story on losing 6 kg (13,2 lbs) in 3 months. Probably the numbers are not inspiring you, but since I’m not facing critical overweight problems, I tend to regard my experience as a successfully achieved challenge. Considering my initial weight of 68 kg (149,6 lbs), the final result seems quite significant – 62 kg (136,4 lbs) or 8,8% drop. My normal weight before was around 61 kg (134,2 lbs), but I forgive 1 extra kilo that I possess today for gained muscles. So, not only I almost succeeded to restore my initial weight, there is no longer need to carry 6 kg “luggage” neither.
