7 Effortless Eating Habits for Faster Weight Loss

 

1. Have a low carb diet – it is the biggest secret for success in this era of fast and easy weight loss. A keto diet boosts your metabolism and burns fat, so you feel satisfied after eating something carb filled. Carb-free foods are rich in fibre, which slows down digestion and keeps you satiated.

2. Drink protein shakes to make sure that you eat enough of your daily dose of protein – try making one scoop of Greek yogurt with berries or oats, for example, instead of drinking plain milk. You also have different options when it comes to protein smoothies, such as lemonade and chocolate protein shakes. Another option is to blend soy protein powder in water to create a very delicious flavour-packed smoothie.

3. Eat more veggies – vegetables have many health benefits – including lowering blood pressure, boosting energy, improving skin health, reducing inflammation, fighting obesity, promoting healthy bones, regulating blood sugar levels and much more. In addition to being a source of antioxidants, they're high on vitamins and minerals, so they can help boost your immune system too. Also, if you don't like broccoli, then you can easily substitute canned peas or baked beans instead to get the same effect too. If you do not prefer some vegetables but want to add them to your dinner menu, choose a raw salad or a few sliced peppers. Just remember that the best way to avoid calories is to buy frozen vegetables. You can use small pieces – as long as they are fresh and crunchy. On the other hand, you should definitely buy frozen vegetables if possible. Remember to stick to a calorie deficit, but aim for 50 to 100 calories less than your target body mass.

4. Add protein to meals for a protein boost – protein is essential for muscle building, building muscle and repairing tissue with fibres. Protein also improves digestive health, supports skin health and can reduce anxiety and depression. Protein can increase brain formation and protect against degenerative diseases and infections. So a lot of us now prefer to eat steak. What's wrong with steak? Well, there are many negative effects of excessive consumption of meat. Beef contains saturated fatty acids, which contribute to heart disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes, as well as several cancers in men. And beef is high in nitrates, which can cause irritation and bloating and is also linked to increased risk of developing bowel issues and constipation. Instead, opt for grilled chicken or fish instead or lean minced meat. It is also important to note the importance of consuming at least one to two servings a day.

5. Take breaks – taking care of yourself is beneficial for your mental health as well as physical wellness. To promote a balanced lifestyle, it helps to get off track sometimes and even have a time-out of what you are doing. I also think it works great to take extra-long breaks between doing things, especially during the weekends. Even just 15 minutes to grab a drink will give you a jumpstart on your recovery. Having a break will keep your gut happy and feeling good, and ultimately boost your overall mood. Try having an afternoon tea, lunch alone, go for a walk, simply just get away from the crowd to let your mind relax.

6. Don't skip meals – it turns out we have a tendency to snack after each meal. That actually becomes a habit pretty fast. You can take action by trying another recipe or adding ingredients in your recipes. Always opt for snacks that taste better than the ones you usually have after a big meal, and only eat them on special occasions. Make some snacks into breakfast, and watch how easy it is for you to order a pizza once you are more active. Make sure you always pack snacks that are tasty and nutritious. The food you eat should look appealing, not boring.

7. Be consistent – consistency is key. By being consistent, you are able to control what happens to you on a regular basis, so you'll not be tempted to cheat. As for me, I try to follow the following tips regularly: 1) cut down on sweets, and 2) limit carbs. No cheat days, and only cheat in moderation. 3. Do not overdo it – it may seem hard to resist when you feel hungry, but it really comes easier when you're forced by circumstances to be a slave of yourself.
