7 Useful Tips That Will Help You Lose Weight

1. Increase your fiber intake. The body needs a lot of fiber. So
try to include in your diet as many fruits and vegetables as you
can.

2. Go crazy on vegetables. Vegetables are your best bet when it
comes to losing pounds. Nature has a terrific spread when it
comes to choosing vegetables. And the leafy green vegetables are
your best bet. Try to include a salad in you diet always.

3. Control that sweet tooth. Remember that sweet things
generally mean more calories. It is natural that we have
cravings for sweet things especially chocolates and other
confectionary. Go easy on theses things and each time you
consume something sweet understand that it is going to add on
somewhere.

4. Fix times to have meals and stick to it. Try to have food at
fixed times of the day. You can stretch these times by half an
hour, but anything more than that is going to affect your eating
pattern, the result will either be a loss of appetite or that
famished feeling which will make you stuff yourself with more
than what is required the next time you eat.

5. Eat only when you are hungry. Some of us have the tendency to
eat whenever we see food. We use parties as an excuse to stuff
our selves. Understand that the effect of a whole week of
dieting can be wasted by just one day’s party food. Whenever you
are offered something to eat do not decline it completely but
just break of a nibble so that you appear to mind your manners
and at the same time can watch your diet.

6. Quit snacking in between meals. Do not fall for snacks in
between meals. This is especially true for those who have to
travel a lot. They feel that the only time they can get a bite
to eat is snacks and junk food. The main problem with most
snacks and junk food is that they are usually less filling and
contain a lot of fat and calories. Just think about French
fries…tempting but terribly fattening.

7. Go easy on tea and coffee. Tea and coffee are harmless by
themselves. It’s when you add the cream and sugar that they
become fattening. Did you know that having a cup of tea or
coffee that has cream and at least two cubes of sugar is as bad
as having a big piece of rich chocolate cake?
