Losing weight the EZ way :: here are some fresh approaches. A few food swaps, a bit more movement, and some easy behavioral changes can make a BIG difference.
#1 Make the conscious effort to make more 'moves' on a daily basis :: N.E.A.T. (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) is more important than formal exercise when it comes to losing weight. (according to Researchers at the Mayo Clinic)#2 Try EZ food swaps :: Try lower calorie food substitutions that mimic the originals' taste. At lunch, nix the roll and mayo in favor of sandwiches made with whole wheat bread and mustard :: cuts at least 130 calories.Snack on baked potato chips instead of fried and you will shave off 45 calories per ounce!Indulge in half a cup of chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla topped with hot fudge for a 140 calorie deficit.
#3 Study the habits of successful Losers ::According to The National Weight Control Registry, who have collected data on people who accomplished significant weight loss and kept it off; the following are a few of the weight loss secrets: *78% eat breakfast every day. This means eatng a healthy meal like an egg-white omelet and whole wheat toast, NOT grabbing a donut on the run.
* 62% Watch less than 10 hours of TV per week
* 90% exercise about one hour per day
* 75% weigh themselves at least once a week It a bad weigh-in sends you to the 'cookie jar' instead of the gym for 'revenge', skip the scale and keep an eye on 'how your clothes fit'. #4 Ban the Mindless Nibbling ::Break the nibble habit with this technique ::
"Plate it, Sit with it, Own it" !!
Anything you are tempted to pop into your mouth, whether the dregs of a child's PBJ, or a single kernel of popcorn must first be put on a plate and eaten while sitting down. Do this for a day or two and your nibbling habit will be a thing of the past.
