Tips to eat less and lose weight!

To lose weight you have to be willing to change what you eat, when you eat, and how much you eat. You also must be willing to make exercise a part of your life.

To live, you have to eat. Food is one of the great pleasures of our society. But to lose weight, you have to make a few changes in regards to your eating.

Eat slowly and chew your food longer

So many people take bite after bite of food and barely chew it before swallowing.

Eat without distractions

Studies show people who watch TV while eating, eat more than people who don’t. Turn off the TV or refrain from reading while eating. Instead, eat at the table and enjoy your meal

Set your table

A nice place mat, napkins, plates and glasses can make a meal more appealing and enjoyable. By creating atmosphere, you become more aware and mindful of what and how much you eat.

Eat smaller portions

If you eat out often or have large plates at home and clean your plate, you’re more than likely eating way too many calories.

Vary your diet

Vary your diet and eat foods with a variety of colours. The taste and texture of different foods makes them more satisfying and more visually appealing.

Don’t eat late at night

Once you have had your evening meal, do not eat again. If you feel like eating something, drink water instead.

Limit alcohol consumption

A drink or two every night can add inches to the waistline. Alcohol equals empty calories. Alcohol is also metabolized by the body as fat.

Now you’re on your way to losing a few extra pounds -all without dieting!
