Easy ways to lose weight

Do easy ways to lose weight exist?  It’s common knowledge that diet, cutting down on caloric intake, and exercise, increasing the number of calories you burn, work together as a formula for weight loss.  But sticking to the diet is the hard part.  It won’t be effortless, but with a little work it sure is possible.  Here are some tips to make it easier.

Carry a notebook to jot down 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.  15% is a lot.

On average Americans consume 245 calories a day from drinks.  Make the switch to 0 calorie water.  245 calories a day add up to 90,000 calories each year.  That’s 25 lbs.  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.  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.

Make sure your wardrobe only includes the “skinny” clothes.  If you don’t have clothes that are 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.

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.  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 easy everyone would be slim all the time.
