Our Best Weight Loss Tips
- Get the salad first. If you are eating out or in, a low calorie salad can be a great way to curb your appetitie later. Try to keep a nice salad prepared in the fridge at home so you will aways have it to start your meals with. A salad can also make a great snack, and it may keep you from reaching for the bag of cookies.
- Enjoy more fruit. Most of us do not eat enough of it, and fruit is mostly the good kind of carbs with fiber and lots of nutrients. Learn to enjoy a bunch of grapes of ripe banana again. It will be great if you can replace unhealthy snacks with fresh fruit. For breakfast, why not try sliced bananas in skin or soy milk? It’s great.
- Get Enough Sleep. This may seem counter-intuitive, but studies have shown that one symptom of sleep deprivation may be weight gain! Besides, we’re not eating when we’re sleeping!
- Activity. I don’t like to exercise that much either, but I do try to get some activity in every day. It really makes all the difference in the world for me. I am sure it speeds up my metabolism and helps reduce food cravings. One day you might take a half hour walk, and the next day you could spend that half hour mopping the floors, pushing a vacuum, and dusting. Just try not to sit in your chair all day!
- Have healthy snacks you like on hand. Some baby carrots and low fat Ranch dressing can be a diet saver. Celery and low fat cream cheese is yummy and filling. You get the idea. If all you have in the fridge is chocolate cake and hot dogs, it can really be tempting to eat too much when you are hungry. I, myself, am a big fan of lower calorie soy milk. The fiber and protein makes it a filing snack, and I really like it!
- Weigh Yourself. I don’t think that most people have a clear idea of how much they weigh without a scale. You can weigh yourself every day or once a week, but make yourself accountable or you will probably not do so well on any diet.
