These ten strategies really do work and they can work for you. They are simple and if you follow these just eighty percent of the time, you will see success when it comes to weight loss.
1. Are you thirsty or hungry? Try a glass of water first. You may just need to hydrate.
2. Eat your veggies! Get at least 5-9 servings of vegetables a day. 1/2 C cooked or 1 C raw
3. Fruit in moderation means up to 3 servings a day. You gotta watch that blood sugar!
4. It takes good fat to lose belly fat. Avoid hydrogenated oils or trans fats and get at least 1 Tbls. of omega3 fatty acids daily.
5. Exercise – but not too much. Start by walking, build up to strength training. Add some dance moves.
6. Be a planner when it comes to meals. Don’t try to wing it by hitting the drive-thru. You’ll expand!
7. Skip the soda. It’s bad for your digestion and diet soda can make you hungrier for sweets.
8. Spend some time cooking. Make use of your slow-cooker. Freeze meal-size portions.
9. Keep healthy snacks within reach. A little cooler in the car with crunchy veggies and water is ideal.
10. Why eat alone? If you don’t have anyone to eat with, read a book. It slows you down, so you’ll eat less.
