Top 3 Tips For Eating Less

We all know that in order to lose weight, we need to reduce the total amount of calories that we consume in a day. This isn't a new found truth, it is just harder to implement that it is to say. What can you do to eat less? Is it simple a matter of will power? Or a matter of changing your schedule? Are there simple tips that will help me eat less and not change my entire life? Below you will find the top 3 tips to help you eat less.

1.) Eat more meals through the day
This may seem counterproductive, but you can eat more often throughout the day and still lose weight. How is this done? Well, what you need to do is eat more often, but eat less overall. Let's say that you currently eat the standard 3 meals per day. If you break that into 5-6 smaller meals/snacks you will be able to eat less overall, and not be hungry throughout the day. This is an easy eating change that you can do that will also help you avoid the hunger that comes with most diets.

2.) Eat smaller amounts at each meal
So you will eat more meals, but that doesn't mean that you get to eat more food. The goal of this is to have smaller meals that will add up to less that you were eating before. So ideally, you should start with a good sized breakfast to get your metabolism going for that day, then snack every few hours to keep it going and not slow down. You can finish the day with dinner, but you won't be as hungry and you will eat a smaller one. This technique will add up to less overall calorie intake in a day than you had by eating the standard 3 meals per day.

3.) Relieve Stress
This is one that not everybody realizes. But for many people, when you are under stress, you often find solace in food. You may not even realize that you are doing it, but perhaps you find yourself carrying about a bag of chips, or always eating while relaxing with a TV show. If you are under pressure and stress you are likely to eat more as a sort of comfort. What you need to do if first realize if you are doing this, then take the appropriate steps to remedy this. If you can, cut back on work or whatever it is that gives you stress. Or, do some stress relieving activities such as exercise or meditation.

By following the above tips, you will begin the process of eating less that will help you to lose weight and become more healthy overall. So don't tell yourself that there is nothing simple that you can do to lose weight. These are simple tips that can be done by anyone, you just have to alter your schedule a bit and the habits that you have gotten yourself into.
