Easy Ways To Lose Weight

When it comes to losing weight we know that the best way is to take in fewer calories and burn more calories. We also know that most diets and quick weight-loss plans don’t work as promised. If you’re trying to drop a few pounds fast, these tips will make it easy for you to lose the weight quickly.

Some Tips

• Write down what you eat for one week and you will lose weight. Studies found that people who keep food diaries eat about 15 percent less food than those who don’t.
• Watch out for weekends: people tend to consume an extra 115 calories per weekend day, primarily from alcohol and fat.
• Add 10 percent to the amount of daily calories you think you’re eating. If you think you’re consuming 1,700 calories a day and don’t understand why you’re not losing weight, add another 170 calories
  to your guesstimate, the new number is likely to be
  more accurate. Adjust your eating habits accordingly.
• At breakfast, go ahead and drink orange juice.
  But throughout the rest of the day, focus on water
  instead of juice or soda. You can consume an extra
  245 calories a day from soft drinks.
  That is nearly 90,000 calories a year — or 25 pounds!
• Eat three fewer bites of your meal, one less treat a day, or one less glass of orange juice. Doing any of these can save you about 100 calories a day, and that alone is enough to prevent you from gaining the two pounds most people mindlessly pack on each year.
• Wait until your stomach rumbles before you reach for food.
  If you are craving a specific food, it’s probably not hunger.
  If you would eat anything you could get your hands on, chances are you’re truly hungry.
• Sniff a banana, an apple, or a peppermint when you feel hungry. Recent research has found that the more frequently people sniffed, the less hungry they were and the more weight they lost — an average of 30 pounds each. One theory is that sniffing the food tricks the brain into thinking you’re actually eating it.
