7 Weight Loss Tricks You Can Start Doing Today


Losing weight can be a very difficult task to overcome especially for those who are highly motivated. In addition, as a person ages the more difficult it gets to maintain an appropriate weight.
One thing many people wonder is if there are any ways to "reverse engineer" life moments (just my fancy way of saying tricks) to help with weight loss.
Here are 9 weight loss tricks you can start using today:

PAY ATTENTION TO PORTION SIZES

Studies have shown that eating food off smaller sized plates lead to eating less.
For example, studies were conducted in a controlled laboratory setting where they focused on food and eating habits of participants. They found that many participants had no clue of the changes in the portions offered and how it affected the amount they had eaten (1).
This leads to overeating! Don't overeat!

Unfortunately overeating happens more often than we think. So to solve that problem, pay real close attention to your bowls and dishes. Or better yet, ask for a smaller portions if you're trying to to lose weight. Save leftovers in a to-go box. If you've been constantly on the lookout for weight loss tricks, mark that down!

DON'T GET DISTRACTED

The study also explains that the more people get distracted (eating out for example), the more they become unaware of the portion sizes handed to them. People who were served 50% more pasta ended up eating 43% more than those with normal portions. Yikes!

RESTRICT YOUR ELECTRONICS

An average American adult spends approximately 5 hours a day watching television. Now, it's safe to assume that the time could be spent planning meals for the rest of the week or getting more exercise throughout their day!
If you're one of them (Don't worry, I won't tell anyone) here are a couple of ways to make use of those extra hours:
  • Yoga: Doing yoga regularly offers many benefits, including making you feel better about your body as you become stronger and more flexible, toning your muscles, reducing stress, and improving your mental and physical well-being. It also helps with weight loss and you can do it practically anywhere inside your home.
  • Dancing
  • Collect bugs
  • Wash or walk the dog
  • Wash the car
  • Water your garden
  • Write an autobiography or a short story
  • Meditation
  • Read a newspaper
  • Browse the internet
  • Make a weight loss smoothie

EAT MORE FRUIT

Many people often associate fruit with sugar--specifically the health conscious eaters. While it is a source of natural sugar, some fruits are rich in fiber and will work wonders for kickstarting your metabolism.
Here are some examples of fruits with plenty of fiber content:
  • Raspberries
  • Blackberries
  • Apples
  • Oranges
  • Flaxseeds
  • Grapefruit
  • Watermelons

GO TO BED EARLIER

It's commonly known that the longer your body stays up the more time your hunger signals will kick in, signaling that it's time to eat again--leading into a snacking trap. Curb your cravings by going to bed before those evil cravings get the chance to cry over more food!

You can set the alarm clock at an earlier time instead and enjoy the remaining left over time for some exercise, meditation or meal prepping.

PRACTICE THE 20-MINUTE RULE

Basically any time you eat make sure to give yourself the right portion sizes. Once you finish one portion and are craving for more, put yourself on timeout for at least 20 minutes to see if you're still feeling hungry.
Why 20 minutes?
It takes our bodies around 20 minutes to recognize that we're physically full. And if your stomach still isn't happy, feel free to help yourself to more food. This little trick actually works quite effectively.

SLEEP IN COLDER TEMPERATURE

As humans, our bodies can react in interesting ways to temperature changes. The warmer the temperature is, the less energy/calories your body needs to keep you warm.
What does this mean?
When our bodies are in the thermoneutral zone, this is where our body does not have to regulate our body temperature, so we feel less inclined to eat because we already feel relaxed and the need for satisfaction is less likely to be strongly desired.
However, when our bodies are above or below this zone, we increase the amount of energy we spend, which "decreases energy stores", such as fat (2).

The Yummy Watermelon Diet for Fast Weight Loss


The watermelon diet is not only tasty, it also helps you lose weight and detox your body. But the best part about that is that this diet is simple to follow!
There are different varieties of the watermelon diet, but the most popular one is the 3 day watermelon diet in which the dieter simply eats nothing but watermelon for 3 days to lose weight (Depending on how you look at it, it might sound like a dream come true!). After the dieting period is over, the dieter goes back to their regular diet. Tasty, short, and simple.
It's not so surprising to find that the watermelon diet is being used for weight loss. After all, 91% of the content in a watermelon is all water (and very nutritious).
Watermelons also have plenty of fiber in them, which when combined with water helps keep you full longer. And so they make a great companion especially if you frequently feel hunger and struggle with certain diets.
Experts recommend the average person to drink 8 glasses of water a day to keep themselves hydrated, which understandably isn't always easy to do for most people. Watermelons can help greatly as they contain so much water content already. 

HOW DOES THE WATERMELON DIET WORK?

If you've been familiar with clean eating then you're already half familiar with the watermelon diet. The diet is low-calorie and it works by making your body burn more calories than it takes in. You're required to eliminate most processed food while consuming watermelons which helps to detox your body.

Eliminating processed foods is an effective strategy because it helps restore your natural detoxification process. By doing this, you have a better chance to eliminate toxins and waste from your body. Getting rid of toxins is important because they usually get stored in fat cells in order to protect your body. You might ask, "Why would I want to get rid of that?!" Well, more toxins means more fat and while you're burning the existing fat from the diet, you'll also help get rid of all the toxins that were stored in fat, efficiently eliminating them through the body's renewed detoxification system.
While you're going on a watermelon diet you can also benefit from all the fluids you're taking in from these fruits. Just by chewing and swallowing as you eat them your body will think it already ate a good amount of food. But the best part is that these "foods" are all just the rich content of water in watermelons!

The tough outer layer of the watermelon is edible by the way, and they're very nutritious, like apples!

If you're one with a sweet tooth, this watermelon diet can help provide you with 6g of natural sugar per 100g of watermelon.
In order for the watermelon diet to work, you have to stick to the foods that the diet is intended for. That means you should avoid all junk foods, highly processed foods and even alcohol as well.

VARIATIONS OF THE WATERMELON DIET

3 Day Watermelon Fast

In this version you eat watermelon for 3 days straight. The recommended amount to consume is at least 26 cups of watermelon in a day, which equates to 1200 calories--the minimum amount of calories you would need to prevent your metabolism from slowing down.
Find any time of the day to eat your watermelons. You might become bored of the taste after awhile but at least you won't be hungry since you're allowed to eat as much watermelon as you like, :)

To get you started, try aiming for an amount equivalent to 6 cups of watermelon for breakfast, with coffee if you'd like. For lunch aim for 10 cups of watermelon and some coffee as well. And finally, for dinner you can aim for 10 cups of watermelon and some tea on the side.

What is with the random coffee/tea? Well, they're zero calories and it's a technique to help push your hunger signals to stay quiet.

3 Principles to Eat More and Still Lose Weight



Trying to lose weight and going on a diet can become a nightmare for some people. And for others, it might be a normal healthy routine for them. But if you're the first type where dieting is not your cup of tea and love eating too much, then read on.
With so much information out there about how to lose weight fast or how to develop healthy eating habits, it's probably also a challenge to decide on what works best for you since you're bombarded with hundreds and thousands of information from a single search on google.
As a society we all grew up thinking that the way to lose weight fast and most efficiently is to drastically reduce our daily calorie intake, which most of the time just meant eating less food.
But we now realize that we can actually lose weight by eating more, if done in a well manner. Here are the 3 principles to eating more and still losing weight:

EAT FATS

Beginners often feel a bit anxious when they hear that fats should be consumed to stay healthy and lose weight. The fact is there are healthy fats and bad fats. The macronutrients in good (healthy) fats will help kick away your hunger signals, making you feel full quicker. Regularly eating healthy fats can also impact blood insulin levels positively as well as reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. And that should not be ignored, because type 2 diabetes affects nearly 300 million people worldwide and accounts for 90-95% of all adults who had diagnosed cases of diabetes, says a study from the Harvard School of Public Health.

Besides the fats found in processed fats however, all other fats should be just fine for a healthy lifestyle.

Some examples of healthy fats include:
  • Avocado
  • Coconut oil
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Cheese
  • Dark chocolate
  • Nuts
  • Fatty fish
  • Whole eggs
  • Extra virgin olive oil

EAT PROTEIN AND FIBER IN EVERY MEAL

Metabolism gets boosted by consumption of protein, helping you to feel full longer and avoid from bingeing. Fiber is a crucial nutrient that aids in losing weight as it reduces the absorption of sugar in the blood, helping you utilize the carbohydrates (glucose) for energy rather than storing it all as fat.

Berries, chia pudding, cheddar cheese, spinach, and eggs are some of the commonly known sources of protein and fibre. You can also eat salad, chicken, and zucchini noodles.

SET MEAL TIMINGS

Stable blood sugar level is the key to lose weight. To maintain this, do not keep a long gap between two meals. Doing so will end up resulting in a spike in your blood sugar levels, making you overeat. A commonly recommended approach is to eat every 4 hours (because your body transitions into starvation mode around that time) in order to keep your blood sugar levels in check. In addition, it helps to avoid hunger and a bad mood. Also, a study suggested that a schedule for eating helps in reducing body fat accumulation.

THE BOILED EGG DIET, HOW TO LOSE 20 POUNDS IN 2 WEEKS




That’s Right. Lose 20Lbs in 2 weeks on this diet
Eating eggs to lose weight sounds weird, right?

Yet many people are finding that the boiled egg diet is the perfect solution to their temporary weight loss goals.

The boiled egg diet, when used appropriately, allows you to lose weight by adhering to a low-carb low-calorie but protein-heavy diet.

However, it is not a long-term weight loss solution and should not be used to keep weight off permanently.

You should also not eat only eggs while on this diet—the best boiled egg diet is one that incorporates vegetables and other sources of protein for your body.

Many people love eggs and find their taste, protein content, and vitamins and minerals to be the perfect protein and on-the-go snack.

From breakfast food to a dinner solution, eggs are easy to cook, versatile and can provide your body with the protein and nutrients it needs to lose weight.

THE EGG DIET

This egg diet has multiple versions, but in each, you can only drink water or zero-calorie beverages.

You only eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are no snacks, aside from water or other zero-calorie drinks.

I also have a boiled egg diet printable which you can print off and stick on your fridge.

I found this an easy way to follow the plan and organize what I would be eating that week.

WHAT IS THE BOILED EGG DIET?

The boiled egg diet is a diet based on the consumption of boiled eggs rather than scrambled or poached eggs.

The minimum requirement is that you eat at least 2-3 eggs per day.
