Everyday Tips To Lose Weight 3
Welcome to another in my continuing series entitled Everyday Tips To Lose Weight. Here are today’s tips and tricks:
1. Set scheduled times to have meals and stick to it. You can stretch these times by half an hour, but anything more than that is going to affect your eating pattern. The result will either be a loss of appetite or that famished feeling which will make you stuff yourself the next time you eat. This of course will defeat your efforts to lose weight.
2. Eat only when you are hungry. Don’t use food as an excuse to fill time or to comfort yourself. Some of us have the tendency to eat whenever we see food. We use parties as an excuse to stuff ourselves. Understand that the effect of a whole week of dieting can be wasted by just one day’s party food. Whenever you are offered something to eat do not decline it completely, but just take off a nibble so that you appear to be polite and at the same time can watch your diet.
3. Stop snacking between meals! This is especially true if you have to travel a lot. When traveling, you may feel that the only time you can get a bite to eat is snacks and junk food. The main problem with most snacks and junk food is that they are usually less filling and contain a lot of fat and calories. Just think about French fries - tempting but terribly fattening. Remember your goal: lose weight!
4. If you must snack, snack on vegetables. You might get hunger pangs in between meals, but it is something that you can control. Even better, try munching on carrots. They are an excellent way to satisfy those hunger pangs and are good for your eyes and teeth.
5. Go easy on tea and coffee. Tea and coffee are harmless by themselves. It’s when you add the cream and sugar that they become fattening. Did you know that having a cup of tea or coffee that has cream and at least two cubes of sugar is as bad as having a big piece of rich chocolate cake?
6. Try to stick to black tea or coffee. Black tea or coffee can actually be good for you. Personally, I recommend tea rather than coffee. The caffeine in the coffee is not really good for you because it is an alkaloid and can affect other functions of your body like you metabolism.
I hope you are finding these tips useful for your efforts to lose weight. Stay tuned for more in future articles.
