Have breakfast. If you think you can cut calories by skipping breakfast, we’re about to disappoint you: you can’t. People who skip breakfast eat more during the day than those who eat it in the morning.
Close the kitchen for the night. Determine a time after which you will not eat. This will help you avoid late-night snacks and the mindless eating of junk food in front of the TV. Brush your teeth right after dinner so you’re less likely to eat something before bed.
Eat often. Experts recommend eating in small portions but every 3-4 hours. This will help keep your blood sugar levels stable and prevent you from overeating.
Control yourself. Buy healthy foods for home consumption and choose cafes and restaurants that serve healthy foods. If you’re going to a party, eat something healthy at home beforehand. This will help you eat less “unhealthy food” at the party.
Drink water. You need to drink enough water for your metabolism to work as efficiently as possible, and your digestive system to function normally.
Go for lighter alternatives. Opt for light mayonnaise over regular mayonnaise, dark chocolate over milk chocolate, and whole-grain bread over white bread. The cream in your favorite coffee can be replaced with low-fat milk.
Eat more fruits and vegetables. If you eat a lot of low-calorie fruits and vegetables, you will eat fewer foods that are high in calories and fat.
Reduce your portions. You can lose weight by simply reducing your usual portions by only 10%-20%. And replace big dishes with smaller ones so that your portions don’t look too small on a big plate.
Get enough sleep. Try to go to bed early so that your body has enough time to fully rest at night. Sleep deprivation can negatively affect weight loss by causing sugar cravings and reducing the desire to exercise.
Don’t eat if you’re not hungry. Sit down at the table only when you are really hungry. Try not to neglect your breakfast, but if you don’t feel hungry at all, you shouldn’t force yourself.
