There Are Many Easy Ways to Lose Weight

Summer’s coming and that means bathing suit season, less clothes and more heat. It’s almost here and since we don’t have a second to lose, let’s jump right in on these super easy ways to lose weight! I promise you that these are the simplest, most easy ways to lose weight that you’ll ever find and that they all work! And if that’s not enough for you, at the end of this article, I’m going to share the most well-kept secret to losing weight of all! So, without further ado:

A Couple of Easy Ways To Lose Weight

• Drink Water! Water not only cleans out your system by acting as a flushing lubricant but provides your body with a sense of fullness that reduces your hunger while dieting. Plus, staying away from soda and those sugary drinks eliminates 245 calories a day – 25 pounds a year in the average American!
• Trick Yourself! Add 10% to the calories you’re actually eating and use that to watch your caloric intake. This may sound like a cheap trick, but it is! And it works! Soon you won’t even think twice about doing it and you’ll be used to the portions already.
• Take The Stairs! This is just a small part of an effort to get you to walk 45 minutes or more a day, but it can be accomplished in small ways. Take the stairs everywhere. Park at the far side of the parking lot and walk. Go for a stroll after dinner with your loved ones. Walk in the park. Get a dog and walk it!
• Go Blue! This is an odd one, but once again, it works. The color blue is an appetite suppressant so eat on blue plates in a blue kitchen with blue napkins while wearing blue! Well, you don’t have to go that far, but blue plastic plates should be enough. But feel free to try the others, I have seen them work!
• Use Smaller Plates! By making your plate look more full, your mind will conceive it as a full meal even though you are cutting back on portions. This is because of the way our minds are entrained to think about spatial relations.
• Downsize Your Fat Clothes! Once you do lose some weight, take away the safety net. Get rid of the slightly bigger clothes and leave yourself no choice but to keep the weight off or buy more clothes. Believe me, when you’re in the store reaching your fingers into your too-tight jeans trying squeeze your wallet out to spring for new fat pants, you’ll realize keeping it off is much less embarrassing – and cheaper on the wallet!
• Eat With A Mirror! That’s right, look at yourself gorge! Studies have shown that watching yourself eat triggers an inner self-conscious that is much stronger than your inner-fatty!
• Eat Slowly! Rest your silverware down between each bite and take a little sip of water. Talk while you eat. Take that phone call! Anything that you can do to bridge the gap between your stomach and brain. It takes 20 minutes to get the message all the way up to your brain that says you’re full!
• Switch Milk Down! If you’re drinking whole, try 2%. If you’re at 2%, try 1%. If you’re at 1%, try skim. If you’re at skim, well…good for you!
• Sniff, Don’t Eat! Try sniffing peppermint or a banana when you’re hungry. This should trick your brain into thinking you’re eating it and satisfy your craving.
• Be Patient! Studies show that most food cravings last only 10 minutes, so be patient. Wait it out and see if it goes away. If it doesn’t, go sniff something and drink some water!
