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 losing weight.
But sticking to the diet is the hard part. 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 will help you eat less. Studies show that people who keep track of what they eat end up eating 15% less. That's significant.
On average Americans consume 245 calories a day from drinks. Switch from juice, soda, and other calorie drinks to water. 245 calories a day is nearly 90,000 calories per year. That's 25 pounds.
Water isn't that bad, is it? Keep in mind too that juice and soda don't trigger a feeling of fullness, despite their calories.
Eat five or six smaller meals a day instead of three large meals a day. Studies show that eating in smaller portions more often 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.
Make sure your wardrobe only includes the "skinny" 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 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 worry about 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. - 15255
