Small changes are vital for an effective weight loss. When you make simple changes, you will see a drop in weight!
It is not just the big changes you make. It is the small ones
too that add up.
You can cut calories that will result in fat loss
without counting foods, weighing foods, or measuring foods.
Follow
these 5 simple tips to cut calories:
Eat a
medium orange instead of drinking fresh orange juice: Juice is
dense in the sugar fructose that immediately spikes your blood sugar and then
soon will plummet. This will lead not only to inflammation but hunger and
cravings that encourage more calorie intake. The fiber in the orange
helps balance your blood sugar and create a feeling of fullness compared to
simply drinking the juice.
Leave Bites Behind: Practice
an easy way to reduce calorie intake. Better leave bites behind on your plate
at every meal; every bite counts in terms of calories. At the end of the
day you can potentially cut a few hundred calories. This practice also
gives the brain time (about 15 min) to receive the message that we’ve had
enough food. What happens is that we keep eating and ingesting those
calories before we get the message resulting in needless calories.
Include Protein in your
Balanced Diet: Adding protein (about the size and thickness of the palm of
your hand) to every meal to balance blood sugar, maintain and add lean
fat-burning muscle. Muscle is metabolically active and burns
calories even at rest.
Make Veggies the Biggest
Portion of your Meal: Veggies take up a lot of room in your stomach (a good
thing) so you eat less of the condensed caloric foods. When you make
veggies and protein the star of your meals you: balance your blood sugar,
increase your fiber intake (which will make you feel fuller) and increase your
antioxidant intake – all of which lead to less cravings and inflammation.
Drink a glass of water before
each meal: Water not only helps you feel fuller, it also boosts your
metabolism by 3-5% after drinking it. Remember too, that mild dehydration
can cause hunger and cravings.
Bear in mind that
cutting calories can involve creative substitutions or changes in portion
sizes, too. Small changes like these tips here will help create fat loss
success!!
