You Could Shed It!

Losing weight no longer needs to be just a thought floating around in your head. You can make it a reality. Following these simple tips, you will see how easy weight loss can actually be. Don't be intimidated by the thought of weight loss. Losing weight is just within your reach.

Warm, broth-based soups can be a dieter's best friend. They are generally, low in calories and fat. These clear soups help to curb the appetite when consumed as a snack between meals. The added liquid helps one to stay hydrated. Plus, they are very soothing and relaxing for the dieter's frazzled nerves, at the end of the day.

Beans, beans, they're good for your heart... and losing weight! They're high in fiber and protein, and they're so versatile. Blend up some garbonzo beans to make hummus, or cook beans and put them in chili or a bean salad. You can use them to make burgers too! My favorite thing to do is sprout lentils and then add them to sandwiches and salads.

Replace whole milk with nonfat or 1% milk. They both contain the same essential vitamins and minerals that you find in whole milk. The only thing missing is the fat. A cup of non-fat or 1% milk contains 5 to 7 grams less fat than a cup of whole milk. It also has 30 to 50 fewer calories. Over the space of a year, this can really add up. Which can lead to greater weight loss.

One easy way to trick yourself into eating less is to use a smaller plate. When you use a large plate, you have tendency to want to fill it. You can fill a small plate like a dessert plate to the edges without feeling guilty about eating everything on it.

If you're trying to lose weight, try to avoid foods like fried potatoes, garlic bread, and other fatty high calorie sides. Instead, replace them with healthy vegetables like corn, steamed broccoli, peas, or other vegetables. Sides that are just there for filler can sometimes have almost as many calories as the main course!

A really good way to help you lose weight is to run along the beach. Running along the beach is tougher than on grass or concrete because the sand adds resistance. Not only will you be burning lots of calories, you'll have an awesome backdrop right in front of you.

When you are trying to lose weight and are visiting a food buffet, don't go back for a second plate. Fill your first plate with fruits and vegetables and avoid the bread and dessert areas. Buffets are often full of high fat foods and it can be difficult to control portion sizes when visiting one.
