Healthy Dieting Tips

Are you looking for a way to lose weight without having to go on a starvation diet? You can lose weight easily and sensible if you just follow these 7 ways to outsmart your stomach and lose weight:


1. Never Eat Until you can Eat No More

How many times do you say “I’m stuffed” after a meal? You are stretching your stomach muscles every time that you do this and increasing your weight. You should never eat until you are about to burst as this increases weight gain. You should only eat until you are not hungry anymore. There is a difference. By eating until you are not hungry any more instead of feeling stuffed to the gills, you will end up losing or maintaining an ideal weight. 

2.  Never Skip Breakfast 

Remember how your mother always told you that breakfast was the most important meal of the day? Once again, she was right. Breakfast is crucial for keeping in shape and will enable you to outsmart your stomach to help you lose weight. When you eat breakfast, you naturally give your metabolism a boost. In order for you to burn off calories, your metabolism has to be able to burn calories. By giving your metabolism a jump start early in the morning with breakfast, you are fooling your stomach into thinking that it needs to go into overdrive because there is plenty of food coming. This works well to help you lose weight especially if you are not used to eating breakfast. 

3.  Eat Smaller Meals

Instead of eating three big meals a day, eat three small meals. Count your calories and do not go over the limit for what you need to lose weight. You need to cut your calorie intake if you are going to lose weight - it is the only way. By eating small meals, you can stave off hunger and lose weight at the same time. 

4. Stay away from Simple Carbohydrates

Simple carbohydrates are foods that are loaded with sugar and have no place in your diet. They are called “empty calories” because you gain no nutritional benefit from them as they are absorbed too quickly into the body.  They also cause your digestive tract to work overtime in eliminating them from the body. They linger around as fat. If you want to lose weight, eliminate simple carbohydrates such as foods with sugar (cakes, cookies, candy, sweets) from your diet. 

5.  Avoid Eating in Front of the TV

If you stuff yourself while watching TV, stop. This is a bad habit and often gets you to eat more than you should because you are not paying attention to what you are eating. If you must eat in front of the TV, make sure that it is healthy snacks like raw celery and carrots. 

6. Keep a Food Journal

Know how many calories that you consume on a daily basis and keep track of what you are eating.  Remember that counting calories and decreasing the amount you are currently eating is the only way to lose weight. Keep a food journal so that you are aware of the calories that you consume on a daily basis. 

7.  Watch What you Drink

Drink water instead of fruit juices, soda, or any other type of sweet drink.  Even so-called healthy drinks are loaded with sugar. Stay away from sugar free drinks as well, especially if they are carbonated. Switch to water and you will notice a difference in your weight by this alone. Many people consume so many calories in what they drink without even realizing it.
