If you're on a weight loss program there are probably times you need a little boost. A change of pace is good for you. You'll become more aware of what you're eating and will eat less. Here are a few helpful easy weight loss tips to get you on the fast track for weight loss.
Use utensils even if you're eating a sandwich. It takes time to cut the meal into bite sizes. The tendency is to chew more as well which is better for your digestive system. And here's another simple trick: put your fork down after every bite. Your brain needs about 20 minutes to register that you're full. The longer you take to eat the less you will probably eat.
The more slowly you eat the less food you'll consume. It takes time for your brain to recognize you're satisfied. Use a teaspoon instead of a soup spoon and it takes longer to eat. A salad fork holds less food than a dinner fork so use a salad fork most of the time.
It's tempting to run out to the nearest fast food joint for a high fat, high carb lunch. If you pack your lunch you have control of what you eat and won't be tempted by a burger and fries. If you have a fridge and microwave at your office, and who doesn't these days, you can serve up a delicious salad and soup lunch. As an added benefit you will save money. The average fast food lunch these days costs around $7.00. And you can use the time you save to run errands, relax or take a walk around the block.
Plan for your snacks. Plan ahead so you won't be hitting the vending machines or the cookie jar. There are lots of prepackaged alternatives at the grocery store that offer low fat, low calorie, but tasty snacks. Prepackaged costs more than the big bags but you get portion control in return. You can also package up your own snacks. Keep the calorie count to about 100. Fresh fruit and veggies are a given, but you can also have popcorn without the butter, saltine crackers with low fat cheese, a cup of soup, a handful of nuts, or pretzel sticks. Put your selected snacks in a zip lock bag and place in the fridge, when you feel the urge, they'll be ready and waiting.
