Do you know the foods to eat when trying to lose weight and which foods to avoid? Measure it: If you want to improve something, measure it. While a pedometer can seem utterly arbitrary, wearing one and holding yourself to a daily goal can lead to forming powerful habits. Fitbit devices also allow you to create an online account where you can track yourself against friends and co-workers, so you can push each other to exercise. The nice thing about measuring exercise rather than weight is one can become a habit that leads to the desired goal, whereas the other is a lagging and fluctuating indicator. Each day you do your daily exercise you will be aware of what you did and how it made you feel. And those who exercise may have slightly elevated serotonin levels which lead to improved satiety, diminishing hunger.
If you want to get your whole body into better shape, start with some whole grains. According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition , a person's intake of whole grains has an inverse relationship with their percentage of both subcutaneous and dangerous visceral fat. In layman's terms: if you're insistent about eating that sandwich for lunch, get it on multi-grain bread with no HFCS and you can enjoy a healthier body than you would have if you opted for white.
