Weight Loss Success
Weight
loss success requires staying inspired
and sometimes giving your weigh loss plan a tune-up.
Drinking more water and eating smaller portions are
effective but boring.
Much of weight
loss success really depends on your attitude.
Staying positive just takes a little creativity and
some diet strategy to keeping your mind and body motivated.
Here are a few calorie cutting tricks that should
help you
lose weight and keep the boredom away.
It takes your brain about 20 minutes to register
that your stomach is full. To slow down your eating
process, try eating nuts that require cracking or
grapefruit that must be peeled and sectioned.
Think of your weight
loss diet plan as a way of eating more
veggies that can in turn create a waistline friendly
result that will make you smile.
Have an appetizer before your meal. Just be sure
it is low-calorie and contains a lot of water, like
soup or fiber, like salad. This will help you eat
less over all. Remember to choose carefully and beware
of cheese and high-fat dressings.
Try something exotic once a week. Something that
is not familiar to you. Maybe a guava (112 calories
per cup) or jicama (49 calories per cup). People don't
tend to over eat unfamiliar foods.
As you begin, taste and savor every bite. This slower
eating experience will reacquaint you with the pleasure
of eating, which is important when you're consuming
less.
Downsize your plates and bowls. By eating on smaller
dishes it may help you consume less food. Researchers
from Cornell University served snack mix in two different
size bowls. A large one and a smaller one. The study
showed that subjects took 53 percent more snack mix
from the larger bowl.
In a second study at the University of Illinois at
Urbana, juice was served in two different size glasses.
One was short and wide and the other tall and skinny.
Both glasses held the same amount of juice but the
subjects who drank from the tall and skinny ones (which
looked larger) poured themselves less juice.
Balance every meal with a serving of vegetables.
Vegetables fill you up so you don't tend to go back
for second helpings.
And last but not least, make an accomplishment list
at the end of each day. It will help you track what
is and isn't working in your diet. It will also help
to acknowledge each success that will eventually lead
to more.
With a little planning, choosing the right foods
and becoming aware of portion sizes you can obtain
the weight loss success you desire. Remember anything
is possible if you believe it can happen.
