Change your eating habits and lose your weight

Change your eating habits and
lose your weight
Do easy ways to lose weight exist? Everyone knows that
diet, lowering caloric intake, and exercise, increasing the
number of calories you burn, combine into a formula for
losing weight. But sticking to the diet is the hard part. It
won’t be easy, 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 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.
Switch from juice, soda, and other calorie drinks to water.
245 calories a day is nearly 90,000 calories in the course
of a 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. 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. Make sure your
wardrobe only includes the ’skinny’ 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 if you have to purchase a whole new
wardrobe you’re less likely to gain weight. Use smaller
plates. It’s proven that people eat what’s 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. 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.
