Are there any easy ways to drop weight? It’s common knowledge that diet, lowering caloric 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.
Carry a notebook to jot down everything that passes your lips. Writing down everything you eat and drink, even water, will help you eat less. Studies show that people eat 15% less when they track everything they eat. 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 per year. That’s 25 lbs. Are soda and juice really that good? Keep in mind too that juice and soda don’t trigger a feeling of fullness, despite their calories.
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 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 buy a whole new wardrobe.
Switch to smaller plates. It’s proven that people eat what’s in front of them. Use the salad plates instead of dinner plates.
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. Stick to whole grain breads and dark 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 effortless everyone would be slim all the time.
