!!!!!!!!!!!
You don’t have to go for major change in your life style .
Just follow these simple tips and stay healthy .
1.Serve
"Restaurant" Style
When eating at home, try this simple serving trick to reduce
the amount of food you eat at each meal.
Instead of bringing all the food to the table, take only what
you need in your plate, and leave the
rest on the kitchen
counter. When you’re done with your plate, take a breather and then decide if
you really want
seconds. Not having your food in sight will mean you are more to be content and happy with just your first
serving.
2.Get Cooking
Cooking
doesn't take long, not even healthy cooking. It’s the best way to know exactly
what you are
eating
and to have full control over the ingredients and amounts of food you eat.
Restaurants often
use larger plates than the ones we have at
home, which means we eat more, and some people will also
feel bad
if they don’t finish all their food and eat those few unnecessary bites just to
avoid asking
for a doggy bag.
3.Shop From the Outside
When you
go shopping for groceries always use this simple tactic, it's more effective
than you might
think.
Always start your shopping from the perimeter of the store before going to the
inner aisles.
The edges of grocery stores generally house
fresh produce and health foods, while the inner aisles
hold more pre-packaged, processed foods and
sweets. Browsing the perimeter first and getting
everything
you need from there, will reduce the amount of unhealthy foods and unwanted
additives you
buy.
4.Start Eating Blue!
Now I
don’t mean eating blue foods but rather eating out of blue dishware. Research
has found that if the dishes we use to eat match our food color it may prompt
us to eat more than we really need. The color blue has been found to be the
least appealing contrast to most foods and therefore a great appetite
suppressant.
5.Eat More (Healthy) Fats
It's important to remember that we need healthy
fats in our diets as a source of energy and to absorb the fat-soluble vitamins
A, D, E, and K. You can get healthy mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fats
from avocados, olive oil, nuts, coconuts, seeds, and fish. Try eating these
foods with others that are high in fiber. This will also help you feel much
fuller and satisfied after a meal.
6.Use Smaller Plates
Much the last two tips, this one is all about
tricking your brain. Using a small plate instead of a big one can help you feel
fuller with the same amount of food. You might also want to try and spread the
food across the plate, leaving less empty "white space" that will
fool your brain into thinking you are eating less than you really are.
7.Don’t Eat with the TV On
Eating
while watching television is linked to poor food choices and mindless
overeating. It’s not just the mindlessness of watching television that’s bad
for you, the commercials for unhealthy foods may increase your desire for
low-nutrient junk food.

10.Wait Before Ordering Seconds
Our minds
and bodies take time to fully understand and register how much we have eaten
and to give us a feeling of "fullness". Try going on a short walk,
reading the paper or playing a game of cards before dishing up seconds.
11.Hot is Good
Hot
spices cayenne pepper can not only boost metabolism, but also cut cravings for
sweet or salty foods. Sprinkle some spice on scrambled eggs, or spice up a
stir-fry with a little hot sauce for that extra bit of help in burning fats.
12.Chew Gum
While it
won't always help with decreasing your appetite, gum can keep the mouth busy
when cooking up a meal or when socializing amongst a sea of appetizers. The
long term effects of gum chewing on weight loss are minimal but studies show it
can lower cravings for sweet and salty snacks, and decrease hunger levels
between meals.
13.Sip Some Green Tea
Drinking
green tea is a great way to shed a few pounds as it has an amazing ability to
metabolize fat as well as many other healthy uses. In combination with
resistance training, green tea increases the potential for fat loss. Add a squeeze
of lemon for a little flavor and vitamins for even more healthy and antioxidant
effects.
14.Water It Down
If you
can't live without your soda and juice, then you can try this simple trick to
reduce the sugar and calories you take with them. Watering down your drink may
sound entirely unappealing, but if you test it for a bit you can come up with a
mixture that will have more water than the sugar-sweetened drink, and still
taste good.
15.Go For Tall and Thin
Research
shows that people pour less liquid into tall narrow glasses than into their
vertically challenged counterparts. It’s a small change that means you will
ultimately drink less in one sitting. This tip is only recommended for harmful
drinks and not water or natural juices.
16.Brush
Keeping your good oral hygiene habits is not
something you would normally relate to weight loss but if you think about it
for a second it makes a lot of sense. Right after you are done with dinner go
brush your teeth and use some mouthwash. This will keep you from mindlessly
snacking while watching a pre-bed TV show as you'll be more inclined to keep
your mouth clean before bed.
17.Enjoy Your Food
Eating slowly may not fit into a busy workday,
but it pays to pace your chewing and take your time with every meal. The
quicker we eat, the less time the body has to register fullness and chewing our
food well will help our body extract the maximum amount of nutrition from it.
18.Mantras
Another
tip that will make you understand that losing weight is all in your mind is
finding some good mantras to keep you motivated and focused. Hang up an
inspirational poster in your room, write it on a sticky note at your desk or
scribble it on your forehead. Just make sure you remember what you are doing
and what you're doing it for.
19.Add, Don’t Subtract
Don’t
remove foods from your diet, replace them and focus on adding healthy foods to
your menu. Ditching all the “bad” stuff can be a daunting task, one that’s
easier to stick to by focusing on one habit at a time. As you add more and more
healthy habits and foods to your life it will be much easier to get rid of the
bad ones.
20.Sleep Smart
As part
of any healthy lifestyle it's important to sleep well and at regular times.
This will help shave off some pounds because your sleep is linked to changes in
appetite and the metabolism in the body.
21.Get Social
You are not the only person out there trying to
lose weight. Turn to online communities or support groups for sharing progress
and setbacks, getting useful tips and a good pat on the back to keep you going.
22.Stay Positive
Don't
demonize food and the fact that you are on a diet, instead go for a positive
attitude. “I can control my eating” or “I’m proud that I ate responsibly today”
can reframe our relationship with food and our efforts to get healthier.
23.No meal after 7pm.
And last
but not the least avoid late night eating as mentioned earlier in my previous
article in detail , you can go through it also .
I'm sure
that if you follow even half of these tips and stick to a healthy diet - you'll
reach your goal in no time! Read also
