Losing weight is as easy as consuming fewer calories than your body burns. Truthfully, it's the only way to lose weight. However, it isn't that easy to do. Putting yourself in a caloric restrictive state is next to impossible for some dieters. However, by following a low calorie diet and using a few tried and tested tips you can effectively lose weight without even noticing.
Eat water dense foods - Water dense foods include broth-based soups, fruits and veggies. Why should you include these in your daily diet? Simple, the water in these foods adds density which makes you feel fuller longer but without the added calories. Try eating water-rich foods at the start of each meal to help stave off your hunger before you get to the more calorie rich foods.
Don't drink calories - Merely switching from drinking soda to consuming water or green tea can really add up. The average 20 oz. pop contains 250 calories and if you consume only 1 pop a day that's 1,750 calories taken out of your diet in 1 week.
Choose whole, natural foods - Heavily processed foods such as candy bars and chips don't satisfy hunger cravings and pass on little to no nutrients. On the contrary, natural foods will keep you feeling fuller longer, supply more nutrients and are usually lower in calories.
Tiny tableware - As crazy as it sounds, studies show people are content by eating the amount of food that is on their plate, no matter the serving size.
By slowly adding each of these tips to your routine over time you will begin to see the fat disappear. And don't stop there. Look at your diet as a whole and see if you can make additional small changes to drop the pounds and feel great.
