People rightly say that weight loss is no cakewalk. It can be a daunting task especially for beginners. Keeping all your favourite delights at bay and not getting instant results can hamper your patience as well.
1. Do not take drastic steps or make any major alteration to your diet. If you have been eating lot of trans-fast in form of fries, fritters, pizza and patty, try cutting down on it right away. As far as the rest of your diet is concerned, if you have been consuming more calories than your body demands, try reducing small quantities from your regular meals.
2. Try not to linger around the table for too long. If you are done eating, take your plate and leave. If you sit on the table for too long, there are greater chances of you wanting to eat more even if you are not particularly eating.
3. There are so many apps and gadgets that you can use nowadays to keep a track of your calories, steps, and nutrient-intake. Employ as many as you can in your weight-loss journey.
4. Eating food in large plates tricks you into believing that you have eaten less since the food is scattered. Opt for smaller plates for a correct picture. Do not eat without real hunger.
5. Do not be too harsh on yourself. When you set goals for yourself, make sure you reward yourself from time to time too. After a week full of dieting, you do deserve that slice of cake. Incentives make you more motivated towards reaching your goal.
These are small but golden steps to lose weight naturally. Just remember, you do not need to revamp your life overnight!
