Who said your weight loss system’s diet had to leave you starving? Here are some great ways to shed some pounds without eating kale and rice all the time!
Let’s Talk About Your Breakfast.
Rather than having sugary cereals or doughnuts, family practice doctors recommend fitting as much protein (and some fat) into your first meal of the day as possible. Bacon, sausage, and eggs will leave you feeling more full longer, and they’re better for you.
Go Nuts.
All of the top weight loss programs recommend eating five or six smaller meals rather than three big ones, which many people accomplish by having hearty mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks. Many of these amazing weight loss systems recommend snacking on low-fat nuts like almonds and pistachios.
Stop With the Soda Would You?
If your weight loss system hasn’t already banished soda, then it absolutely needs to! Loaded with sugar and carbs, soda can be a really diet killer. The same goes for beer, sort of. Choose a low-carb beer, like Bud Light or Miller Light.
Think Twice About Seconds.
After you finish eating, wait for about 20 minutes before you go and get seconds. You might feel hungry, but there’s a lag between your stomach and your brain. Chances are your stomach hasn’t told your brain that you’re full yet, and so the brain still thinks your hungry.
Psyche Yourself Out With a Smaller Plate.
One of the best little tricks you can add to your weight loss system is a smaller dinner plate. First of all, it has a visual impact. If you put the same amount of food as you’d normally eat on a smaller plate, the portion size will look much, much larger, psyching you out. Plus, smaller plates will limit how much you can pile on, helping you stick to your weight loss system.
