Plus 3 other dieting do’s that will surprise you
Here are four simple, healthy, and dare we say, fun ways to help you slim down and stay healthy.
Have Your Cake … for Breakfast
Aside from being depressing, the way to maintain weight loss isn't by feeling deprived. Scientists say that the people who started
off the day with a treat and larger meal felt fuller and more satisfied,
and that led to their sticking with the program as the day went on.
Being hungry is no way to start your day, so fuel up with protein and a
morsel of something sweet. And most of all, enjoy!
Sleep Your Way to Weight Loss
Another reason to stop burning the midnight oil is that people who aren't getting enough z’s consume an average of 549 more calories a day
than their more rested counterparts, reports a Mayo Clinic study. If you find it tricky to wind down at night, turn off the
electronics and engage in soothing activities, like taking a bath or
listening to calming music.
Journal to Drop Pounds
The best weapons for a dieter? Pen and paper! Women who wrote down everything they ate lost more weight than those who didn’t track
their food intake. Journaling makes you accountable and more aware of
what you’re eating, so it makes sense that it’ll keep you from
mindlessly munching if you aren't actually hungry.
Even a Tiny Bit of Exercise Helps Your Health
Even 20 to 30 minutes of physical activity most days
of the week (broken up into smaller chunks is fine!) reduces your risk
for all sorts of physical ills. And even 20 minutes a week can
improve your mood. That really stuck with me. It’s easy to beat
ourselves up or burn out if we make goals that are incredibly hard to
achieve, but walking a few times a week is doable—and meaningful, too.
