By following these four simple tips and sticking to them no matter what, you should be seeing results in no time!
1. Never skip breakfast
The most common mistake people make when they are trying to slim down is not having breakfast. Skipping breakfast will make you eat more than usual because your body has been starving from skipping it. The extra calories you will receive in your overeating will be transposed into fat, so you had better think about it for a minute before deciding to skip breakfast the next time.
2. Always eat regularly
Ideally, you should be eating relatively small portions of food throughout the day. When you eat a lot and infrequently, your metabolic rate decreases and this is the main reason for pound gain. In addition, your sugar levels peak and fall abruptly, thus making you feel hungry more often and being more prone to binge eating.
3. Every meal should contain protein
Protein makes you feel full and it doesn't have such a negative effect on your blood sugar as carbs do. Eating moderate amounts of protein and fiber will ensure that you feel full longer. Protein will make your metabolism work nonstop and because of this, more calories are burnt as protein supplies more energy into your body. Also, protein is the building material of muscles.
4. Try to avoid snacking
Common mistake is nibbling on food when you are not hungry. Sometimes, feeling tired or bored is often misinterpreted as hunger. If this is how you feel right after a meal, it is a false alarm and the thing you should do is to drink some water or go for a walk to get your energy levels higher. You should have another meal only 3 to 4 hours after your last meal.
