Can you lose weight without buying special foods, joining a gym, or getting involved in an expensive diet club? Yes, and you can even do it without outrageously priced supplements. By making important lifestyle changes, you’ll lose the weight safely and permanently while saving money!
Get enough sleep. When you’re tired, it’s hard to make good decisions, especially about food. Watch your portions. Just because you’re given a certain portion doesn’t mean that amount is what your body needs. Eat only until you’re comfortably full. A little left on your plate each day adds up to a long-term decrease in calories. Don’t ignore your sweet tooth. A hard candy is only about 20 calories and can last up to twenty minutes. A 400-calorie ice cream cone never lasts more than ten minutes.
Personalize your program. Eat what you like, and explore new foods.
Eat during the day. If you don’t, you’re likely to overeat at night.
Eat breakfast. If you don’t, you’ll just lose energy, not calories.
LEARN TO SPICE IT UP. YOU’LL GET MORE FLAVOR FOR YOUR BITE AND MORE SATISFACTION.
Act goofy. Even if you’re too busy for the gym, you can still do cardio. Put on a pair of socks, and slide around the house like a skater. You’ll burn 150 calories in just ten minutes.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. If you have a diet plan that’s too low in calories for your weight and energy level, you’ll slow down your metabolism as your body attempts to conserve calories. Don’t dip below 1,200 calories or aim for more than a one – to two – pound weight loss per week.
Go for it. If you want a cookie, then have it. If you try to avoid your craving by having a slice of toast, it’s not going to satisfy you.
