Six Easy Steps to a Skinnier You

Six Easy Steps to a Skinnier You: Everyone who has ever tried dieting knows that it is not easy to stick to a weight loss program. The feeling of deprivation is often enough to want you to give up. So instead of drastically changing your diet, it is a good idea to do things gradually. Here is a six-step guide on how to eat less and lose more weight.

1. Small but complete meals. In order for you to be satisfied with what you eat, your meal should have the right amount of fat, proteins, and fiber. Failing to strike a balance may make you feel “un-full” which may cause you to eat even more.
2. Never deprive yourself. In conjunction with step 1, drastically cutting down calories may also lead you to feeling hungrier and thus consuming even more food. Set a realistic target such as reducing the size of your food portions by around 20 or 25% initially.
3. Eat tasty food. In order to remain sane, it is always advisable to permit yourself to an occasional treat or a good hearty meal. Eat delicious food every now and again but be sure to eat smaller portions.
4. Avoid drinking calories. You already eat loads of calories as it is, there’s no need to add to your caloric intake by drinking more calories. Drink water or tea instead of sugary fruit juices or soft drinks that have as much as 150 calories per can.
5. Exercise, exercise, exercise. Perhaps one of the best fat loss tips is to have some sort of exercise regimen. Without regular exercise, your diet will not be as effective as you’d want. It can be as simple as jogging a couple of miles every other day.
6. Easy does it. Remember that your brain will need around 30 minutes to process before it tells your body that it’s full. Because of this you’ll need to eat at a slower pace by chewing slowly and by not stuffing your mouth with the next bite until you’ve swallowed everything.
