How to Eat Less for Rapid Weightloss

If you want to quickly lose weight, the most important piece of advice you need to follow is to eat less. It is far easier to reduce 500 calories from your diet than it is to burn 500 calories through exercise. So, the less you eat, the more effective your exercise will be. Indeed, even without exercise, a low-calorie diet will help you lose weight. This is within reason, of course. You should never starve yourself, as this not only keeps vital nutrients from your body, but also teaches it to store more food as fat when you do eat.

Instructions

• 1

  Increase the amount of water you drink. This is beneficial in a variety of ways. First and foremost, it hydrates you. However, in terms of food intake, it also makes you feel more full --- if you drink a large glass of water before a meal, you won't physically feel comfortable eating a large amount.

• 2

  Leave some food on your plate after every meal. You should eat most of your food, but if you leave a quarter or so you will easily reduce some calories. The actual amount is dependent on what you are eating, but it is a step towards your 500 per day goal.

• 3

  Use smaller plates. This way, even if you fill the plate, it won't be as much food; this is particularly effective when combined with Step 2.

• 4

  Chew slowly and make sure you chew each bite until it is completely devoured. Ensure you don't take another bite of your food until the one before it is completely chewed and swallowed. By doing this, you will feel more full after each meal, as it takes time for your stomach to tell your brain it's full. Eating slowly will make your brain receive the message from your stomach as you finish eating, not 10 minutes later.

• 5

  Snack on unsalted nuts, like almonds and peanuts, as these are high in protein and low in carbs. The fat they do contain is monunsaturated fat, which is less likely to stay in your body than its saturated opposite.
