Do easy ways to lose weight exist? Everyone knows that diet, lowering food intake, and exercise, increasing the number of calories you burn, combine into a formula for losing weight. But the hard part is sticking to a low calorie, and often bland, diet. It won��t be 100% simple, but with a little work it sure is possible. Here are some tricks to make it easier.Keep a daily log of everything that passes your lips. Writing down everything you eat and drink, even water, helps you eat less. Studies show that people who keep track of what they eat end up eating 15% less. That��s significant.The average American consumes an additional 245 calories per day just from drinks. Switch from juice, soda, and other calorie drinks to water. 245 calories a day add up to 90,000 calories per year. That��s 25 lbs. Are soda and juice really that good? Keep in mind too that juice and soda don��t trigger a feeling of fullness, despite their calories.Grazing, eating more smaller meals during the day rather than a few large meals, is another way to drop weight. Studies show that eating in smaller portions more often results in eating 30% fewer calories. You��re also less likely to binge because the body won��t produce as much insulin which leads to hunger.Get rid of the ��fat�� clothes. If you don��t have clothing that��s comfortable when you��re heavier, you��re more likely to be reminded to keep the weight off every time you dress. And you��re less likely to gain weight if doing so means having to buy a whole new wardrobe.Use smaller plates. It��s been proven that people eat more when more food is in front of them, and they eat less when less food is in front of them. Use the salad plates instead of dinner plates.Try serving meals on the plate, restaurant style, rather than in bowls and on trays. When the plate is empty the meal is over, instead of spooning another portion onto your plate.Avoid white foods such as white bread, sugar, and white rice. Those foods are loaded with carbohydrates which lead to higher blood sugar and weight gain. Do eat whole grain breads and brown rice. Don��t be concerned with the sugar, pretty soon you won��t miss it.There are a lot of other tips for easy ways to lose weight. Don��t be intimidated if it��s only easier instead of really easy. If weight loss were easy, everyone would be a supermodel.
