In this slideshow, 22 dieting tips were presented that were fairly easy to utilize. The first tip was to drink lots of water and calorie-free beverages. This year I started carrying my water bottle with me and trying to stay hydrated by drinking 2-3 bottles minimum daily. Many of the other tips involved eating in moderation. It’s okay to enjoy foods, even if they aren’t the healthiest, as long as it is in smaller amounts, Eat more fruits and vegies. I can have more food because it has less calories, and they are a great source of fiber towards the 25g I need daily. It’s a win-win for me try swapping out a cup of pasta for a cup of veggies to cut calories. Try to incorporate protein into each meal. It’s also important to understand portion sizes and read nutrition labels.
It helps me to buy pre-portioned snacks from the store. Avoid eating foods straight out of the bag, to eat healthier, clean out fattening foods, and replace it with healthy food. Then I have no choice but to eat healthy. This is something I actually did months ago, Get sleep; going to bed earlier can help reduce nighttime snacking. Always eat breakfast and try to eat many mini-meals, with supper being the last meal of the day, People who kept a diary 6 days a week lost twice as much weight as people who wrote in the diary once a week. Weight yourself once a week at the same time on the same day using the same scale and wearing the same outfit, the food dairy and weight tracking both promote awareness.
Lose weight slowly; approximately 1-2 lbs per week is realistic. Chew sugarless gum or have low-calorie hard candies when you feel the munchies coming on or to fix your sweet tooth. I stopped chewing gum because I didn’t think I needed it, but I might start carrying it on me again. No one wants to take out their gum to eat something else, spice foods up to be more satisfying and appealing. I’m too young to worry about limiting alcohol. When going out to eat, order children’s portions at home, use smaller plates to make the meal seem larger. This is so smart. I am definitely going to do that. Get help and support from your family and friends, and celebrate your success, not with food though, if I meet my weightless goals, I treat myself to shopping.
