By following these weight loss strategies you will put yourself (or your whole family)on the road to effective weight reduction no matter your food choices.
#1 - Serve plates at the stove, reduce each serving by 1/4 or even 1/2 for some foods.
#2 - Leave some food on your plate. Forget the old admonition of your parents to clean your plate.
#3 - Don't nibble while preparing meals or while putting away left overs.
#4 - Use smaller plates. You'll feel like there is ample and you'll feel satisfied when you get used to the smaller portions.
#5 - Buy small - refrain from getting the largest pieces of fruit. Buy smaller melons, bananas, etc.
#6 - Cook smaller amounts of food. This goes well with the strategy of smaller portions.
#7 - Stop eating when you are satisfied. Too often we continue to eat past the point of satisfaction because of taste.
#8 - Take longer to eat. Have you noticed that thinner people take a long time to eat. Bolting through your meals contribute to the tendency to over eat.
#9 - This goes along with the strategy to take longer to eat - put down your silverware while you chew and don't prepare the next bite until you've throughly chewed and swallowed the last. This will take some practice to master.
#10 - Eat is a relaxed atmosphere not in front of the TV. If you're single, turn on some relaxing music.
If you have a family, you should all eat together and talk with each other during meals. Try to avoid any unpleasantness.
#11 - Eating in the car is as risky as using a cellphone if you are the driver. You tend to eat faster which gets away from the practice of putting down your silverware between bites. Eating in the car should be avoided.
#12 - Pass up those tempting samples that are being offered at the grocery store. Each time you say No to any temptation, you raise your self-esteem and strengthen your will to continue losing weight.
So, there you have it. Twelve strategies to effortlessly begin losing weight. Let's get started right now!
