- Just Say No To The Potato
This means fries, mashed, baked, chips – no means no. Potatoes are not only a high source of carbohydrates, they trigger insulin production which signals to your body to start storing rather than burning at. If you must have starch, substitute potatoes with sweet potatoes, not only are they delicious, they are higher in nutrients and fiber. - Read Lables
No, you don’t have to become a calorie counter but know what you are putting in your body. Check out the ingredients list – if “high-fructose corn syrup” is listed, put it back on the shelf. Over time, this sugar substitute alters your body’s ability to taste naturally sweet things to crave artificially sweetened items like soda. - Snack Regularly
Although it sounds like the antithesis to losing weight, snacking between meals is actually beneficial to trimming down. By forcing your body to continuously process food all day, your metabolism works harder. A bonus is you won’t eat as much when you do sit down for a meal. Snack smart though, nuts and fruit are good choices. - Never Say Never
A recent study in the U.K. showed that when women were told to avoid chocolate and put in a room filled with the sweet, they were much more likely to sneaks bites than those where were not told to avoid it. Moral of the story? Don’t forbid yourself a certain food or you will crave it even more. If you’re 95% on target with your eating, 5% spent on a small indulgence is not only satisfying but good for you. - Eat Breakfast Every Day
Yes, your mother was right – breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Not only does it signal to your body to begin processing food and jumpstarting your metabolism for the day, it also regulates your insulin levels so you aren’t hungry all day. Studies have shown that obesity levels are 30-50% less in people who eat breakfast daily. Fill up with egg whites, cereal or oatmeal and get your day started right.Incorporate this small eating changes and you’re bound to see the inches come off your waist!
