Please don't make fat loss harder than it may already be. You are doing a great job of keeping healthy foods in the house, exercising regularly and getting enough sleep, but somehow those extra little snacks keep ending up in your mouth! Here are three tips to keep those extra calories out of your mouth and off you tummy and hips.
1. Set yourself up to win. For example, if you drive by your favorite coffee house everyday (even though it actually takes you a mile out of your way) where you buy a coffee heavy in calories or end up with a muffin the size of Rhode Island, then STOP doing that! Don't drive past the the temptation house; keep on driving and avoid the extra calories. How many calories are in a coffee drink that has so many words in it that you must abbreviate it? I looked up how many calories in a Grande Caffe Misto w/ 3 pumps mocha, 3 pumps flavor (say, hazelnut), whipped cream w/carmel topping. Guess how many calories? 295. Add an Apple Bran muffin to pack on another 350 calories. Yummy. You'll be jacked up for an hour and crash hard in two. You will be starving with low energy and your body won't know how to process all that junk, let alone have energy to metabolize fat.
Another example that you've probably heard a million times is don't food shop when you are hungry. Go right after a meal so you are not tempted to buy more than what is on your grocery list. Bonus: you'll save money!
Look for other places in your life that will help you win the war against fat.
2. Get a hobby. Find something to do in your spare time that is fulfilling and rewarding. People eat out of boredom. Don't be bored. Find something to wrap your mind around instead of wondering into the kitchen for your next snack.
3. Avoid mindless eating. How many extra calories are you consuming while standing in the kitchen? It doesn't take long to add a few hundred calories with a couple handful of nuts. Even the good calories can be preventing you from reaching your goal, so be mindful of what you are eating. So plan your meals and sit down to eat.
These are things you can put into practice today. Take control of your eating with these tips and it won't feel so hard to lose the fat.
Good luck and be healthy.
