No one said that losing weight is simple; if someone did then they have most likely lied to you! Weight loss involves making enormous changes in your lifestyle patterns, one of them being your diet. However, in the long run, you should not only focus on your diet, but on the amount of calories you are actually using on a daily basis.
After this we can calculate how much fat we have stored, and how much calories to consume in our daily food intake.
You can get the amount of calories to eat from your diet by deducting the amount of your calories you take in from the amount of calories you burn off doing exercises.
In this article I will tell you three Quick And surefire ways to put a check on your calorie intake.
1. Say ‘No’ To Sugary Beverages:
Drinkin a few is alright. However most sugary beverages are high in calories. You should try to avoid drinking fizzy drinks, sodas or even fruit juices. Not just because they won’t help satiate your diet in any way, but more importantly, they will make you a lot fatter.
You should replace bad sugary drinks with water, as water can actually help you lose weight!
2. Don’t Deprive Yourself!
Some modern weight loss experts would suggest that if you really want to shed the pounds, you will need to forget about the ‘forbidden foods’ that have made you overweight. What these experts fail to realize is that it is near impossible to just “forget” about those tasty foods that we used to consume on a regular basis.
If you deprive yourself totally from these delicious foods, sooner or later you will cheat and munch on them. So it is far better to include a few of these ‘forbidden foods’ in your diet. Of course, you should eat these foods in small quantities, just to satiate your mind and be on the safe side.
You shouldn’t be eating these foods everyday, or at every meal. Focus instead on eating healthy MOST of the time and then eat the things you love at times too!
3. Break Up Your Large Meal:
Unless you are controlling your meal timing such as doing any kind of “Intermittent Fasting”. The number one mistake that most overweight people make is eating a large meal at dinner time and then going hungry throughout the day. This will do you more harm than good and before you even know it. This behavior is bound to sabotage all your weight loss efforts.
An option is to break up that large meal into several smaller meals and eat each small meal every couple of hours. Make sure that the gap between two meals is not too long, as starving can slow down your metabolic rate and as you might know, the slower your metabolic rate, the longer it will take for you to lose weight.
You may also consider filling up the gaps with different types of healthy snacks. Whatever snack you eat, don’t munch on chips and other junk foods as they are very high calorie foods!
These are some basic tips to help control your eating habits. I do realize there is more to this puzzle, of losing weight. If you want some great help from a normal guy who lost weight with a great method I used myself around 5 years ago, try Fat Burning Furnace.
