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".
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".
