Do easy ways to lose weight exist? It's common knowledge that diet, lowering caloric intake, and exercise, increasing calories burned, work together as 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 possible. Here are some tricks to make it easier.
Carry a notebook to jot down everything that passes your lips. Taking notes will help you eat less. Studies show that people eat 15% less when they track everything they eat. That's significant.
The average American consumes an additional 245 calories per day just from drinks. Make the switch to zero calorie water. 245 calories a day is nearly 90,000 calories each 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.
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. 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.
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 slim every time you dress. And you're less likely to gain weight if doing so means having to buy a whole new wardrobe.
Switch to smaller plates. It's been proven that people eat more when more food is in front of them, and they eat less when less food is available. Use the salad plates instead of dinner plates.
Try serving meals on the plate, restaurant style, rather than in bowls and on trays. When the plate is empty the meal is over, instead of spooning another portion onto your plate.
Avoid white foods such as white bread, sugar, and 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 effortless everyone would be slim all the time.
