Day-after-day, these days, there can be new guidance in magazines and newspapers on how to drop some weight. It could get overwhelming trying to get the valid advice from the rubbish, therefore we turned to the pros.
At lunch, choose a pita. Use one mini whole wheat pita rather than the normal two slices of white or processed wheat bread for your sandwich. Saves 70
Be choosy about nighttime treats. Mindless eating occurs most often after dinner, when you finally sit down and relax. Sitting down with a bag of chips or cookies in-front of the tv is an example of eating amnesia, where you mindlessly eat without being hungry, but out of habit. Either close down the kitchen after a certain hour, or allow yourself a low-calorie snack, like-a 100 calorie pack of biscuits or a half-cup scoop of low fat ice cream. Attempt a cup of zero-calorie tea, implies Perdomo, once you realize that you're usually pleased with the low cal bite.
Snack smarter. Part out the day's snacks in-to pint size zip bags, or purchase single-serving portions. For example, four regular Oreos have 200 calories versus the 100 calorie snack bag variation. Go for the low fat chips: a Lay's Light bag has just 75 calories, while the standard has 150. Saves 175 (over two snacks)
Focus on soup. Individuals who ate a low calorie vegetable soup before a meal consumed 20% fewer calories in the meal, according to research from Penn State Unniversity. Have a low calorie broth based veggie soup before your largest meal of the day to reduce calories and lose weight without feeling hungry.
Do not diet in the weekends. This is another touch of advice. I managed to lose 30 pounds without dieting in the weekends. If I attempted to carry on my diet in to the weekend I found myself tired, miserable, and unmotivated. I believed that Friday and Saturday (my weekend) was a period to observe 5 days of dieting. You might not find this crucial, especially in the first few weeks of the diet. Nevertheless, as many weeks passed, the weekend became a period for me to celebrate my weekly successes and get myself mentally prepared for still another five days of dieting. I considered it a mental re-charge.
Tweak your treat. Instead of a chocolate creamcheese muffin as well as a large caff latte, get a little nonfat latte and a small low fat raisin or carrot muffin. Saves 340
Fill up on low energy density foods. Foods like veggies, salad, fruit, chunky soups, low fat pasta sauces, low fat dairy foods, porridge, vegetable - based lean meat, beans, fish and casseroles are excellent building blocks of every meal and snack. They've a low power density (low amount of calories per bite), most get a low GI (glycaemic index) and all are not only healthy but help you feel fuller for longer. Eat right post-workout. People are notorious for overestimating how many calories they burn during physical activity, that is generally far less than actual calories burned. When you overestimate the calories you burn during exercise, you may consume more than you need, making maintenance and fat loss difficult. High-intensity exercise may drive girls to eat more, and moderate exercise could be the main element to easier weight management. To see how many average calories you are burning during everyday activities and exercise, check out this graph from the CDC. You'll be able to see how easy it will be to eliminate the calories burned during a workout with only a few extra nibbles during the day.
