Mind Games…
Eat while sitting in front of a mirror! Now the mirror doesn’t have to be directly in front of your plate, just attempt to position yourself where you can see your reflection. Studies have shown that people who see themselves eat, consume a third less food than those who don’t.
1/2 Of Your Plate Should Be…
Serve your vegetables first. Fill your plate with lots of vegetables and leave only a small space for a portion of meat and potatoes. Choose cauliflower, carrots, broccoli and other seasonal vegetables. You will be adding lots of fiber and antioxidants to your diet, plus eating veggies is a great way to feel full faster.
It’s Not Just DRINK More Water…
Eat more foods which contain water, and by doing this you are consuming less calories. The water content in these foods will help keep you full. You can also choose to eat more soups, especially if you are attempting to eat at your lower calorie allowance.
Lots Of Color Vs. Plain And Dull…
It is well known that white foods contain more additives and starches. These are the foods which cause you to gain weight and body fat the fastest. When you sit down for dinner, ensure your plate has lots of color in it. What looks better: Grilled chicken, broccoli and carrots with a baked potato OR… French fries and breaded chicken strips?
The Carbs TO Eat…
When it comes to choosing breads, rice and pastas, opt for whole grain (complex carbs) varieties. Brown rice has a delicious nutty flavor and once you have tried it, you won’t go back to choosing white rice again.
Stay Home, Save Money, And Relax…
Try to eat the majority of your foods at home. Eating out is expensive plus you have no control of how the foods are cooked and what fats and oils are added. By eating freshly prepared foods at home, you will know exactly what has gone into your meal. You have the choice to keep the calorie content down and the nutrition level high.
The Gobbler Vs. The Nibbler…
The last tip is to sit and enjoy your meal. Gobbling food down fast does nothing for your digestive system, plus you will feel hungry again soon after. Concentrate on your meal and savor each mouthful. Eating slowly allows you to feel full quickly, and you will begin to eat smaller portions almost immediately.
