The battle of weight loss is hard. People always want to overhaul their whole life. Instead make a couple adjustments here and there and watch the weight melt off!
- Weight yourself less
Weight is used as a measure of progress because it’s measured really easily—all you have to do is step on a scale. But weight changes are often unpredictable and can have nothing to do with your habits. Instead, focus on another easy measurement: Getting all their servings of vegetables each day. With this habit, you’re adding something positive and the vegetables will naturally help fill you up.
- Combine Protein and fiber together
Combine foods with protein and fiber. The combo guarantees both fullness and satisfaction, which helps curb cravings and balance blood sugar.
- Use a small plate
Use smaller plates, bowls, glasses, and serving spoons at mealtimes. You eat with your eyes first. If you are using smaller portions of food on a large plate, you may feel cheated. Switch to smaller dishware to match your portion sizes
- Avoid drinking your calories
There is a strong relationship between sugar-sweetened beverages and weight gain in adults and children. If you regularly have a sip of something sweet, you should consider this to be a huge opportunity to lose weight. Research has shown that simply reducing intake of sugar-sweetened beverages can result in meaningful weight loss even if this is the only change you make. If it’s the carbonation you crave, replace soda with sparkling water.

- Drink water before you eat
Have a glass of water before you start eating. Drinking at least eight ounces of water before eating will fill up your stomach, making you feel more full and helping you to eat less without feeling deprived.
- Keep a food journal
This one is hard but simple. The minute you realize what your eating will make you much more aware and conscious of all your food decisions. The more conscious you are the better you’re going to eat.
Even just taking 1 or 2 of these habits and integrating it into your life will reap massive rewards on your health and waistline.
