Dropping pounds is as easy as consuming fewer calories than you burn. Honestly, it’s the only way to lose weight. However, it’s not always that easy. Putting your body in a reduced calorie state can be next to impossible for some people. But, by following a low calorie diet and using a few tried and tested tips you can effectively cut fat without even noticing.
Eat water dense foods – Water-rich foods include broth-based soups, fruits and veggies. Why should you include these in your diet? Because the water adds density to the foods making you feel fuller longer but without the added calories. Try eating these types of foods at the start of each meal to help ward off your hunger before you get to the more calorie rich foods.
Don’t drink calories – Simply switching from drinking soda to drinking tea or water can really add up. Your average 20 oz. pop contains over 200 calories and if you drink only 1 soda a day that’s 1,750 calories stripped out of your diet in 1 week.
Pass on processed foods – Overly processed items such as chips and crackers don’t satisfy hunger cravings and pass on little to no nutrients. Conversely, whole foods will keep you feeling fuller longer, supply more nutrients and are usually lower in calories.
Use smaller plates at dinner time – It might sound odd, but research shows that people are satisfied with eating whatever amount of food is on their plate, no matter how much or how little.
Adding each of these techniques to your routine over time you will begin to see your weight effortlessly melt away. And don’t stop there. Look at your diet as a whole and see if you can make some more small changes to lose weight and feel great.
