Are there any easy ways to lose weight? Everyone knows that diet, cutting down on caloric intake, and exercise, increasing the number of calories you burn, work together as a formula for losing weight. But the hard part is sticking to a low calorie, and often bland, diet. It won’t be 100% simple, but with a little work it sure is easier. Here are some tips to make it easier.
Keep a daily log of everything that passes your lips. Writing down everything you eat and drink, even water, will help you eat less. Studies show that people eat 15% less when they track everything they eat. 15% is a lot.
On average Americans consume 245 calories a day from drinks. Make the switch to zero calorie water. 245 calories a day is nearly 90,000 calories per year. That’s 25 lbs. Are soda and juice really that good? 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 clothes that are comfortable when you’re heavier, 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. Again, people tend to eat what’s in front of them.
Don’t eat white bread, sugar or white rice. Those are the foods with loads of carbohydrates which lead to higher blood sugar and weight gain. Do eat whole grain breads and brown rice. Don’t be concerned with 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.
