Are there any easy ways to lose weight? It’s common knowledge that diet, lowering caloric intake, and exercise, increasing calories burned, combine into a formula for losing weight. But sticking to the diet is the hard part. It won’t be 100% simple, but with a little work it sure is possible. Here are some tips to make it easier.
Carry a notebook to jot down everything that passes your lips. Keeping notes helps you eat less. Studies show that people who keep track of what they eat end up eating 15% less. 15% is a lot.
The average American consumes an additional 245 calories per day just from drinks. Make the switch to 0 calorie water. 245 calories a day is nearly 90,000 calories each year. That’s 25 lbs. Water isn’t that bad, is it? Keep in mind too that juice and soda don’t trigger a feeling of fullness, despite their calories.
Eat five or six smaller meals a day instead of three large meals a day. Eating more meals with smaller portions results in eating 30% fewer calories. Furthermore, even the same number of calories eaten in smaller portions during more frequent meals can result in weight loss. You’re less likely to binge because the body releases less insulin.
Get rid of the “fat” clothes. If you don’t have clothing that’s comfortable when you’re fat, you’re more likely to be reminded to keep slim every time you dress. And you’re less likely to gain weight if doing so means having to purchase a whole new wardrobe.
Use smaller plates. It’s proven that people eat what’s in front of them. Use the salad plates instead of dinner plates.
Try serving meals on the plate, restaurant style, rather than in bowls and on trays. When the plate is empty the meal is over, instead of spooning another portion onto your plate.
Don’t eat white bread, sugar or white rice. Those foods are loaded with carbohydrates which lead to higher blood sugar and weight gain. Do eat whole grain breads and brown rice. Don’t worry about the sugar, pretty soon you won’t miss it.
Weight loss isn’t easy, but relatively speaking there are easy ways to lose weight. Don’t think it won’t take a little work. If weight loss were easy everyone would be slim all the time.
