[amdavadis4ever] The Smart Weight-Loss Tips No One Ever Told You

 

Simple Weight Loss Tips You've Never Heard Before Healthy habits are hard to maintain in today's busy, fast-paced world of easy fixes,  where losing weight is harder than ever. But not all healthy habits are grand and life changing - you'll be surprised to hear what a huge impact small changes in your lifestyle can have on your weight. I'm sure you've never heard at least half of these tips, but each and every one of them will have a small and meaningful effect on your weight loss. Start Eating Blue!   Now I don't mean eating blue foods but rather eating out of blue dishware. Research has found that if the dishes we use to eat match our food color it may prompt us to eat more than we really need. The color blue has been found to be the least appealing contrast to most foods and therefore a great appetite suppressant. Shop From the Outside When you go shopping for groceries always use this simple tactic, it's more effective than you might think. Always start your shopping from the perimeter of the store before going to the inner aisles. The edges of grocery stores generally house fresh produce and health foods, while the inner aisles hold more pre-packaged, processed foods and sweets. Browsing the perimeter first and getting everything you need from there, will reduce the amount of unhealthy foods and unwanted additives you buy. Get Cooking Cooking doesn't take long, not even healthy cooking. It's the best way to know exactly what you are eating and to have full control over the ingredients and amounts of food you eat. Restaurants often use larger plates than the ones we have at home, which means we eat more, and some people will also feel bad if they don't finish all their food and eat those few unnecessary bites just to avoid asking for a doggy bag. Serve "Restaurant" Style When eating at home, try this simple serving trick to reduce the amount of food you eat at each meal. Instead of bringing all the food to the table, take only what you need in your plate, and leave the rest on the kitchen counter. When you're done with your plate, take a breather and then decide if you really want seconds. Not having your food in sight will mean you are more ly to be content and happy with just your first serving.  Eat More (Healthy) Fats It's important to remember that we need healthy fats in our diets as a source of energy and to absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. You can get healthy mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fats from avocados, olive oil, nuts, coconuts, seeds, and fish. Try eating these foods with others that are high in fiber. This will also help you feel much fuller and satisfied after a meal.  Use Smaller Plates Much the last two tips, this one is all about tricking your brain. Using a small plate instead of a big one can help you feel fuller with the same amount of food. You might also want to try and spread the food across the plate, leaving less empty "white space" that will fool your brain into thinking you are eating less than you really are.  Don't Eat with the TV On Eating while watching television is linked to poor food choices and mindless overeating. It's not just the mindlessness of watching television that's bad for you, the commercials for unhealthy foods may increase your desire for low-nutrient junk food. Wait Before Ordering Seconds Our minds and bodies take time to fully understand and register how much we have eaten and to give us a feeling of "fullness". Try going on a short walk, reading the paper or playing a game of cards before dishing up seconds. Hot is Good Hot spices cayenne pepper can not only boost metabolism, but also cut cravings for sweet or salty foods. Sprinkle some spice on scrambled eggs, or spice up a stir-fry with a little hot sauce for that extra bit of help in burning fats. Chew Gum While it won't always help with decreasing your appetite, gum can keep the mouth busy when cooking up a meal or when socializing amongst a sea of appetizers. The long term effects of gum chewing on weight loss are minimal but studies show it can lower cravings for sweet and salty snacks, and decrease hunger levels between meals.
