Are there any easy methods to lose weight? Everyone knows that diet, lowering caloric intake, and exercise, increasing calories burned, combine into a formula for weight loss. But the hard part is sticking to a low calorie, and often bland, diet. It won’t be effortless, but with a little work it sure is possible. Here are some tricks to make it easier.
Keep a daily log of everything that passes your lips. Keeping notes will help you eat less. Studies show that people eat 15% less when they track everything they eat. That’s significant.
On average Americans consume 245 calories a day from drinks. Make the switch to 0 calorie water. 245 calories a day is nearly 90,000 calories per year. That’s 25 pounds. Are soda and juice really that good? Another fact is that despite their calories, drinks like soda and juice don’t trigger a feeling of fullness the way foods do.
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. You’re also less likely to binge because the body won’t produce as much insulin which leads to hunger.
Get rid of the “fat” clothes. If you don’t have clothes that are 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.
Switch to smaller plates. It’s been proven that people eat more when more food is available, and they eat less when less food is in front of them. Use the salad plates instead of dinner plates.
Similar to the idea of using smaller plates, serve your food on the plate rather than in bowls on the table. 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. Stick to whole grain breads and dark rice. Don’t worry about the sugar, pretty soon you won’t miss it.
There are a lot of other tips for 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.
