Do easy ways to lose weight exist? It's common knowledge that diet, lowering food intake, and exercise, increasing the number of calories you burn, work together as a formula for weight loss.
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 possible. Here are some tips to make it easier.
Carry a notebook to jot down everything that passes your lips. Keeping notes will help you eat less. Studies show that people eat 15% less when they track everything they eat. 15% is a lot.
The average American consumes an additional 245 calories per day just 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 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.
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. 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 fat, you're more likely to be reminded to keep the weight off 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 been proven that people eat more when more food is available, and they eat less when less food is 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. Stick to whole grain breads and dark 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 be intimidated if it's only easier instead of effortless. If weight loss were easy, everyone would be a supermodel. - 15266
