Here's expert advice for what really works when it comes to shedding unwanted pounds.
1. Use a smaller plate
Using smaller plates can help you eat smaller portions. By using smaller plates and bowls, you may be able to gradually get used to eating smaller portions without going hungry.
It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
2. Do not stock junk food
To avoid temptation, do not stock junk food – such as chocolate, biscuits, crisps and sweet fizzy drinks – at home. Instead, opt for healthy snacks, such as fruit, unsalted rice cakes, oat cakes, unsalted or unsweetened popcorn, and fruit juice.
3. Weigh Yourself Once a Week
“Same day, same time, same amount of clothing. Remember that your weight isn’t a single number but a five-pound range. Work to move the range down, not the exact number.” — Lainey Younkin, RD, a nutrition counselor and consultant in Boston
4. Follow the 80 Percent Rule
“Eat until you feel just 80 percent full. Pack any extra food away instead of feeling like you have to be part of the ‘clean plate club.’” — Helene Byrne, the founder of BeFit-Mom in Oakland, California
5. Eat high fibre foods
Foods containing lots of fibre can help keep you feeling full, which is perfect for losing weight. Fibre is only found in food from plants, such as fruit and veg, oats, wholegrain bread, brown rice and pasta, and beans, peas and lentils.
This 5-Second Tropical Loophole Dissolves Exces Belly Fat!
I sank from 237 to 131.
Way back, I convinced my husband to finally make the move from Minnesota to Miami, Florida. We were so excited about all the different activities at our new location!
Not only all the lovely trails and scenery, but the area boasts over 100 swimming pools! And Miami-Dade Swim Club is one of the most successful swim teams nationwide.
But one thing was devastating. My scale numbers had slowly crept up, year on year. I found myself at 237 and too ashamed to even step outside.
I suffered sudden, unexplainable plumping up before moving.
After being poked and prodded at the countless doctors visits, everything came back fine, except I was still imprisoned by my body with all the extra thickness that just wouldn't go away!
I felt depressed and lonely. I’d been living like a recluse and was unable to do any of the things I once loved!
That’s when I finally had a major, yet unexpected breakthrough… at my Dentist’s office!
As I sat in the waiting room, I overheard a woman describing her transformation. I was blown away, I needed to know more!
After I asked, she told me about an odd routine which she described as a ‘simple morning ritual'.
I couldn’t believe how the stars aligned. I happened to be in the perfect place at the right time.
Admittedly, first I was skeptical. I thought there’s just no way it could be that simple. But I ran it by my husband and after a bit, we decided we had nothing to lose!
Now all of our friends, family, even neighbors are asking what I did! But most importantly, we can finally play with our grandchildren without pain and struggling to breathe.
After that blessed day, I wish I could meet the woman from the dentist's office again, just to thank her. But I now know it was fate for me to be at that office on that day.
I wish I could repay her. Words can't even begin to describe my gratitude.
So I want to pay her good deed forward here now. After all those sedentary years, I’m finally able to enjoy swimming again!
