Weight Loss Made Easy
Everyone likes to find helpful tips that can be used along with their weight loss program. Here are some simple hints. Some you may have already heard about but if not, give them a try. It may make your effort a little easier and give you an edge in the never ending battle:
1.It helps to put something into your stomach just before you eat. So drink a glass or ice cold water as soon as you sit down for your meal. Or, enjoy a bowl of broth-based soup just before your entree. It will give you a fuller sensation sooner, so you will not eat as much.
2.Again try to put something into your stomach before your meal. About 30 minutes before you eat, precede your meal with an apple, raw vegetables or a salad with reduced fat dressing. Doing so will curb your appetite and give your diet a fiber boost. Remember, fiber is your best friend in this weight loss battle.
3. Try to have something healthy to snack on during the day. Keep your blood sugar (and your appetite) at an even keel all day long by not going any longer than 5 hours without having something to eat. Keep celery sticks, carrots, bell pepper strips close at hand for munchies. The crispy crunch helps weight loss by giving you a psychological boost.
4.Some have had great success by eating multiple, healthy mini meals throughout the day rather than a few large ones. How many times have you starved yourself all day just to binge at meal time? And your mini-meal does not mean a candy bar! We are talking fruits and veggies here.
5.Combining carbs and proteins for a small snack before your meal helps also. Eat a carb and protein-comprised snack 1 to 2 hours before your meal. For example, reduced fat cheese and crackers or cereal with low-fat yogurt.
6.Much of our overeating can be related to emotional eating. Avoid overeating due to emotions by talking to a counselor or close friend, or keeping a journal. Or, log on to a message board or chat room you enjoy to get support from your “virtual” friends. If those are not available, take a 30 minute walk.
7.And here’s one we all know about but most of us hate doing! Exercise! When you feel a binge coming on, exercise is a great way to elevate your mood and get your mind of food. It also relieves stress. Weight loss is never an easy project. Protect your emotional self with plenty of exercise.
8.Finally, here’s a very good tip when you are dining out. When you order ask your server to package up half of your entree in to-go container when he brings your meal. Chances are you won’t open that container and eat the rest there and then. Think about how many times you may have done this without realizing you just one a round in the weight loss battle by eating half the calories you normally would have.
weight loss is a battle we wage everyday, and a good portion of it is done by just implementing a few little tricks.
