Do easy ways to lose weight exist? It's common knowledge that diet, cutting down on food intake, and exercise, increasing calories burned, combine into 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 easier. Here are some tricks to make it easier.
Keep a daily log of everything that passes your lips. Keeping notes helps you eat less. Studies show that people who keep track of what they eat end up eating 15% less. 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 add up to 90,000 calories each year. That's 25 pounds.
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.
Grazing, eating more smaller meals during the day rather than a few large meals, is another way to drop weight. 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 heavier, 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.
Use 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.
Similar to the idea of using smaller plates, serve your food on the plate rather than in bowls on the table. 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. Do eat whole grain breads and brown rice. Don't worry about the sugar, pretty soon you won't miss it.
There are a lot of other tips for 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. - 15432
