Lose weight without going on a diet. Yes, it can be done if you follow this 10 tips:
- Your plate can be a problem. Use a smaller plate than your regular if you want to lose weight. It has been proven that if you eat a fixed portion of food from a large plate, you feel like your portion is a small one and eat more. If you eat the same portion from a smaller plate, the meal seems too much and consistent and you’ll eat less.
- If you use a small fork you eat more. Researchers believe that if you eat with a smaller fork you will feel like you are making slower progress in satisfying your hunger, so you’ll eat more.
- If you are a woman eat with men and you’ll eat less. Women want to look sexy and delicate, and a huge hunk of meat on the plate clearly doesn’t show that.
- Try always to read the label and do so to get used to the healthy dietary choices. It can be in a supermarket two foods that look the same but the fat content is different. If you read the food’s label you’ll eat healthier.
- As I said in another post, drink two glasses of water before every meal. The water fill the stomach and you’ll eat less.
- Avoid light at night, turn off your TV and PC or Mac if you want to stay fit. A study showed that people who are staying into the light at night have gained more than those in darkness.
- Don’t keep supplies of snacks in your home. If you have around chips, chocolate, waffles or any other snacks, you’ll be a thousand times more tempted to eat than if you had to go to the neighborhood store to buy those snacks.
- A study showed that a bowl with salad placed prominently in a school cafeteria increases vegetable consumption by 250-300% per year. So place around a few bowls with fruits and veggies.
- When you eat with your friends you eat more than if you eat alone or with a stranger.
- When you see a fitness ad your mind goes like this: “I can eat anything now because tomorrow I’m going to the gym.” Avoid fitness ads if you want to lose weight without going on a diet.
