Employing these 10 little tricks daily will help you lose weight, no gym or diet required.
1.
Always start a meal with a glass of water: You'll stay hydrated and feel fuller instantly, which can help you from overeating.
2.
Make a few simple swaps at every meal: Opting for fresh fruit instead of dried can save you dozens as well.
3.
Reduce your sugar intake:
Instead of opting for the cookies in the break room, quiet your sugar
cravings with a piece of dark chocolate. It may not feel quite as
satisfying the first few times, but as you wean yourself off your sugar
addiction, you'll be glad you're saving calories while having a healthy
yet decadent treat.
4.
Be diligent with portion control:
If you want to lose weight, sticking to the right portions at every
meal is important. Measure out snacks beforehand instead of eating from
the bag, use smaller plates to visually signal that your meal will
satisfy, and put away leftovers, so you're not tempted to go back for
seconds.
5.
Move more: Even if you're not
dedicating an entire chunk of time to a workout, you can burn a few
extra calories by making an effort to move a little more during the day.
Taking breaks to walk around the office, opting for the stairs instead
of the escalator, and parking a little farther from the office entrance
are all simple ways to up your calorie burn.
6.
Don't drink your calories:
It's a common reason why you're not seeing results — those empty
calories from a daily soda, morning juice, or large glass of wine at
dinner can really add up. Stick to water flavored with a fresh
ingredients like cucumber, lemon or min in order to save on important
calories.
7.
Don't go hungry too long: A little
hunger can be good for you, but starving yourself all day in order to
"splurge" on dessert at night is both unhealthy and diet sabotage. Eat
well-timed meal and snacks in order to avoid low blood sugar levels that
cause you to crash.
8.
Snack on high-protein, high-fiber foods:
When it's time to snack, make your food work for you. Steer clear of
the empty, high-calorie options like chips and crackers, and go for
protein- and fiber-rich foods that taste good and fill you up too.
9.
Eat a light, early dinner.
Try to keep your dinner to about 25 percent of your daily calories, and
have it at least two to three hours before going to bed. Eating too
much too late can cause digestion and sleep issues that make it hard to
stick to a healthy routine.
10.
Get more sleep.
Lack of sleep can cause you to eat more throughout the day and not have
enough energy for your workouts, so aim for at least seven hours of
sleep every night. It's an easy and effective way to keep your
weight-loss goals on the right track.
