5 Food Tricks For Easier Weight Loss
Losing weight means eating the right kinds of food to help you feel full. Here are five great tips to ensure you feel satisfied and not deprived when working to lose weight.
1. Serve a fiber-full appetizer before the meal. The fiber will help you feel full faster and prevent over eating. It also encourages portion control.
2. Salad is great, but be careful about what kind of dressing you use. Many salad dressings are very high in fat and calories, and can sabotage what you think is a healthy meal. Most dressings now come in low-fat or no-fat varieties. Personally, I would go for the low-fat, as I’ve found the no-fat varieties to be lacking in taste.
3. Vegetables are great filler foods. Because of their high water content, veggies will fill you up faster and make you feel full longer than protein or carbohydrates. So pile on the green vegetables when you hit the lunch and dinner table.
4. Your mother was wrong. If your mother was like mine and insisted that you always eat everything on your plate, deprogram yourself and start taking half of your food home with you when you eat out.
5. Advance portion control. If you have a hard time deprogramming yourself from your mother’s insistence that you clean your plate, put half of your food in a to-go box before you ever start eating. That way you can eat all of the half that’s left on your plate and not feel like you’re offending your mother!
