Weight Loss tips is a journey made up of a million healthy choices we make each day. So keep these 100 tips in mind to continue on that healthy path, little by little.
Snack Time
- Keep snacks to 150 calories or fewer.
- Aim to consume at least five grams of fiber to really satiate your hunger.
- Go for protein instead of sugar to keep energy levels going strong instead of crashing. Edamame in pods is the perfect snack since it takes some time to eat and a one-cup serving offers 12 grams of protein.
- Always bring snacks on the roadto avoid having to hit convenience stores, fast-food chains, or airport food courts.
- Keep snack centers in the fridge and cupboardto avoid grazing and eating out of containers.
- Make 150-calorie nonperishable snack packs to keep in your purse, gym bag, and office drawer. Nuts are a great option since they keep you fuller longer and boost your metabolism.
- Choose wet snacks such as melon, peppers, cherry tomatoes, or celery. Their water content will fill you up and prevent bloating.
- Nosh on these post-workout snacksto avoid undoing all your hard work.
- For salty-sweet cravings, bake a batch of these roasted honey-cinnamon chickpeas.
- Munch on an apple. It is full of fiber and works as a natural appetite suppressant.
When Eating Out
- Check out menus online before heading out so you have a few healthy options in mind.
- Choose menu items that are grilled, baked, blackened, steamed, or broiled instead of fried or breaded.
- Eat a little something before heading out, like a handful of almonds, so you don’t arrive at the restaurant famished.
- Always start your meal with a salad. It’ll fill you up, making you eat less of the actual meal, and it’s way fewer calories than typical deep-fried or cheesy apps.
- Ask for all dressings, condiments, and sauces on the side.
- Opt for the baked potato instead of french fries, and yes, eat the skin!
- Ask for your entrée to be served on a bed of greens rather than a bed of pasta or mashed potatoes.
- For wine-lovers, order one glass instead of splitting a bottle.
- Before your entrée arrives, ask the waitperson to bring you a to-go container so you can package half to save for later.
- You don’t have to skip dessert. Order one and split it with your dinner partner.
