1. Restaurants often serve 3 to 4 times what an actual
serving size is. A serving of meat is actually only about the
size of the palm of your hand. Instead of eating the entire
meal, save a portion of it, take it home with you, and create a
couple of smaller meals for later or for the following day.
2. Many times people think they are hungry, when in reality
they are thirsty. Water is vital to almost every body function.
Drinking water will help your body burn more fat for energy.
You should consume more water than the recommended 8 glasses
per day. Drinking water prior to eating will also help fill
your stomach and cause you to eat less. It may be as simple as
keeping a bottle of water at your desk to keep you hydrated
throughout the day.
3. Avoid eating large meals late at night. The later we eat
the less chance there is that we will engage in enough activity
to burn the calories we consume. Eating late causes high sugar
levels in the blood stream and the excess sugar will result to
fat stored under our skin.
4. If you don’t have junk food in your house, you are less
likely to eat it. It’s all about making smart choices, if the
only choices you have are all healthy ones, you can’t make a
wrong choice. This may be harder to do in the workplace because
you do not have as much control. Keep healthy snacks at your
desk to fill in between meals. This will help to eliminate the
chances that you will eat whatever is available if you start to
get hungry.
5. Stay away from canned goods, processed, and refined
foods. Although convenient, these foods as well as table salt,
seasonings, condiments, and many other prepared foods contain
sodium. Sodium, not only raises your risk of heart disease and
stroke, but also causes water retention. This will only make
your belly look that much bigger. Try to prepare fresh foods
such as fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible. With a
little bit of planning and getting used to, preparing these
foods will become a habit and be much easier than you
imagine.
6. Make sure to continue to watch what you eat during the
weekends. Don’t ruin all your efforts made during the week by
binging on the weekends. Research shows that Americans consume
115 extra calories a day on the weekends. Most diet plans
include a cheat day. This gives you an opportunity to reward
yourself for your efforts and splurge a little, but be smart
and don’t go overboard.
7. Keep track of your results. Don’t measure your success in
terms of pounds, use body measurements instead. Measure your
improvements by using a tape measure or caliper (used to
calculate body fat). It’s not about losing pounds, it’s about
losing fat and becoming healthier.
I hope that these diet tips can help you get started on your
journey to losing weight.
