It is helpful to use a number of strategies to assist you with your weight loss program. There are some simple tips and tricks that can make weight loss easier. One way to improve your chances of successful weight loss is to create a healthier refrigerator. Follow some slim down tips for rearranging and restocking your frig and you will prevent your refrigerator from putting your weight loss goals on ice.
First of all don't feed your temptation. Put last rights lasagna or fettuccine out of sight and put some healthier lighter picks up front in plain view. Take fruits and veggies out of the crisper and move them to the front lines. Prepare them by washing, cutting and putting them in see through containers. Place them at eye level in your refrigerator so they are easy to grab.
Drink your weight loss to success. Prepare a pitcher of ice water for the top shelf of the frig. Add cucumber and mint or orange or lemon slices for flavor. You will want to drink eight to ten glasses of water each day to help cleanse your system and stay hydrated.
Redo your dairy products to decrease fat and calories. Opt for lower fat or fat free milk, yogurt, cheese and sour cream. By replacing full fat dairy products you will lose calories and fat but still benefit from the protein and calcium your body needs. You can also choose artificial sweeteners for yogurt and cut your yogurt calories in half.
Make sure you have plenty of fresh herbs on hand. Items like parsley, thyme, oregano and cilantro can spice up your meals without adding fat or sugar to your diet. We recommend using a clear herb keeper placed on the top shelf of the frig. so you can pinch off a few leaves for that whole wheat pasta dinner dish you are making.
Keep in mind your weight loss goals when stocking up the freezer. Have shrimp, whole grain waffles, veggies and frozen berries at your finger tips. Having these items on hand makes healthy meal prep a breeze.
Low calorie diets to not work for losing weight. If you need more evidence to prove this just look around. Most people trying to lose weight go the low calorie route, over and over again. Have you ever starved your self and didn't lose a pound? I bet you know someone this has happened to.
Your body is pretty smart, actually it's amazing. The minute it finds out you are lowering your calories, it sends a message to your metabolism, "Emergency, Emergency. Reduced calories noted. Move into starvation prevention mode, STAT". Immediately it starts burning fewer calories, it doesn't want to starve.
If you use a calorie shifting diet program, it confuses your smarty pants body into thinking you are eating too much and guess what. You turn into a FAT BURNING FURNACE.
