AND Try these expert
proven weight loss dieting tips:
Best Diet Tip No. 1:
Eat when you are hungry.
Do not starve yourself because when you stop eating your metabolism
slows down and when you start eating again your body converts the
food as storage fat to be used in case you starve yourself again.
Consider whether you're really hungry. Whenever you feel
like eating, look for physical signs of hunger like rumbling tummy
or fatigue. Hunger is your body's way of telling you that you need fuel, so
when you crave something it does not necessarily come from hunger
and therefore eating will never satisfy it. You may want
something to eat but not because you are hungry.
Best Diet Tip No. 2: Eat what you want, what
you like.
If you cut yourself off from the foods you like you will feel
cheated and depressed. Eat the foods that you like to eat not
what you are expected to eat.
Best Diet Tip No. 3: Eat slowly and concentrate
on what you are eating.
Chew your food thoroughly and savour every mouthful. If you
eat when you are distracted by T.V. or by reading while eating you
will eat more than you should. Concentrate on the food.
Be in touch with what you are eating and you will be more in touch
with your body telling you it is full. Your body will always
tell you when you have had enough but you will ignore the signals
if you are distracted. If you stop when your body says you
have had enough then you can go back to tip No 1 if you feel
hungry later.
Best Diet Tip No. 4: When you think you are
full, STOP EATING
When you're done eating, you should feel better -- not stuffed,
bloated, or tired. Your stomach is only the size of your fist,
so only have enough on your plate to fill something that size.
Keeping your portions reasonable will help you get more in touch
with your feelings of hunger and fullness. If you eat more
than this at one sitting then you could stretch your stomach so that
filling it takes more. If you have already stretched your
stomach you must allow it to shrink again so eating smaller portions
is even more important. Eat less at one sitting than you
normally do.
Best Diet Tip No. 5:
Be choosy about night-time snacks. Mindless eating occurs most
frequently after dinner, when you finally sit down to relax. Sitting down with a bag of crisps or
peanuts in front of the
television is an example of eating amnesia, where you mindlessly eat
not because you are hungry, but out of habit.
Either close down the kitchen after your evening meal, or allow
yourself a low-calorie snack like a piece of fruit. Once you find
that you're usually satisfied with the low-cal snack, try a cup of
zero-calorie tea.
Best Diet Tip No. 6:
Try to avoid alcohol. Alcohol is
high
in calories. Avoid pubs, clubs and wine bars. If
you sit down in the evenings have a low calorie drink instead of
an alcoholic one.Also try to avoid drinking and eating at the same
time. If you drink you will want to eat. If you must
drink then eat first and hold the drink until you are finished
eating. Do not start eating again if you drink.
Best Diet Tip No. 7:
Drink plenty of water or other calorie-free
beverages. You may not realise this but you may not really be
hungry at all.
People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. So you can end up
eating extra calories when an ice-cold glass of water is really what
you need.
If you don't like plain water, try adding a splash of
juice, or brew infused fruit teas which have lots of flavour but
virtually no calories.
Best Diet Tip No. 8:
Think about what you can add to your diet rather than
what you should take away. Focus on getting the recommended
5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day (spread throughout
the day not all at one time!) It sounds like a lot, but it is well worth it, because at the same
time you are meeting your fiber goals and feeling more satisfied
from the volume of food.
You are also less likely to overeat because fruits and vegetables
displace fat in the diet.
