Do easy ways to lose weight exist? Everyone knows that diet, cutting down on food intake, and exercise, increasing the number of calories you burn, work together as a formula for weight loss.
But sticking to the diet is the hard part. 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. 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. That's significant.
The average American consumes an additional 245 calories per day just from drinks. Make the switch to 0 calorie water. 245 calories a day add up to 90,000 calories each year. That's 25 pounds.
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.
Grazing, eating more smaller meals during the day rather than a few large meals, is another way to drop weight. Studies show that eating in smaller portions more often 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.
Make sure your wardrobe only includes the "skinny" clothes. If you don't have clothing that's 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.
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. Again, people tend to eat what's in front of them.
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.
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 effortless everyone would be slim all the time. - 16650
