Do easy ways to lose weight exist? Everyone knows that diet, cutting down on caloric intake, and exercise, increasing calories burned, combine into a formula for weight loss.
But sticking to the diet is the hard part. It won't be easy, 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. Taking notes will help you eat less. Studies show that people who keep track of what they eat end up eating 15% less. That's significant.
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 in the course of a year. That's 25 lbs.
Water isn't that bad, is it? Another fact is that despite their calories, drinks like soda and juice don't trigger a feeling of fullness the way foods do.
Grazing, eating more smaller meals during the day rather than a few large meals, is another way to drop weight. 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 clothing that's comfortable when you're heavier, you're more likely to be reminded to keep the weight off every time you dress. And if you have to purchase a whole new wardrobe you're less likely to gain weight.
Switch to smaller plates. It's proven that people eat what's in front of them. Smaller plates mean smaller portions, so put the salad plates into use as the main plate.
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 are the foods with loads of 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.
Weight loss isn't easy, but relatively speaking there are easy ways to lose weight. Don't be intimidated if it's only easier instead of really easy. If weight loss were easy, everyone would be a supermodel. - 15485
