Nowadays almost everyone want to have a nice, lean body with six pack abs.
To achieve this dream many people start dieting.
Sometimes it is worthless because they do not know the basic tips, which everyone should know.
This article will tell you about basic tips, which will help you to lose weight.
o Eat only when hungry.
o When eating at home, take smaller portions than usual; go back for more if you are still hungry.
o When eating out, ask for a to-go box at the beginning of the meal and put half of the food in the box before you start eating.
o When snacking, don't eat from a large container (a big bowl of popcorn or a large bag of chips, for example).
Instead, remove the amount you will eat and put the container away before you start.
o Eat at home.
Studies show that meals consumed at home are usually lower in calories than restaurant meals.
o Don't eat in front of the television.
Studies show that people eat larger amounts and less-nutritious foods in front of the tube.
o Eat smaller but more-frequent meals to avoid becoming ravenous between meals, which can lead to eating too much too fast.
o Include at least one non-starchy fruit or vegetable serving in every meal or snack.
o Choose whole grains over refined grains (whole-grain bread versus white bread, for example) because whole grains are more nutritious and satisfying.
o Avoid beverages with empty calories such as soft drinks and "juice drinks," which are mostly sugar.
o Avoid "fancy" blended, sweetened coffee drinks and instead choose a latte with nonfat or low-fat milk.
o Get plenty of sleep.
Studies indicate that sleep loss increases the levels hormones such as cortisol, growth hormone and insulin, which can promote fat storage.
Follow these quick tips and you will be well on your way to lose weight.
I wish you good luck.
