Simple Weight Loss Tips

• Eat in a small plate, this will allow you to control the amount of food you eat.
• Eat less, more often. Not only will it increase your metabolism through the day, but it will also help you control your diet.
• Chew sugarfree gum. Do it for 15 minutes after eating, and again two hours later, to cut snack cravings.
• Eat raw chillies. They release stress hormones in your body, which boost your metabolism and improve weight loss.
• Eat with others. Research shows people match their food intake to their dining partner. Eating with a lady means 35% less calories.
• Take a calcium supplement. You’ll lose 2.6% more fat than those who don’t.
• If it didn’t grow, walk or swim, don’t eat it. Processed foods have unhealthy transfats and artificial sweeteners.
• Have a laugh. A good laugh for 10 minutes a day increases weekly energy consumption by upto 280 calories.
• Multiply your ideal body weight in pounds by 10 to know how many calories to eat daily. It keeps your eye on the prize.
• Cut out the late night carbs. Bigger men are likely to eat 25% of their calories after their dinner.
• Slice food into strips and pile it high. You will eat less, but feel full.
• Tempted by an all-you-can eat Chinese buffet? Cut calorie intake by 30% by using chopsticks.
• Lose more weight and keep your metabolism fired up longer by doing 3-4 shorter 10 minutes workouts instead of 1 big 30-40 minutes cardio workout.
• Weigh yourself and take stomach measurements daily. Knowing that you will be tracking you progress on a daily basis helps to keep you on track.
• Eat slowly. Don’t rush your meals. Eat slowly and you will be better able to listen to your body and know when it’s time to stop.
• Don’t just eat, taste your food. Most foods are packed with flavour, but we often smother them in high calorie sauces, breading or cheese. Forego these unhealthy toppings and appreciate the great natural flavours of your food.
• Deep fired foods come with high calorie counts, unhealthy fats and are usally layered in breading. They’re a sure way to sabotage your weight loss goals.
• Stress at work is the biggest cause of overeating. Breathing for two minutes and focusing on your diaphragm will dampen hunger pangs.
• Eat breakfast. Those who fail to kick-start their metabolism with a morning meal eat 100 more calories a day.
• Always take the stairs.
