8 tips for long term weight loss are a cinch to follow

Many of us struggles to shed those pounds which we gain either due to over-eating or less exercise or due to medication- steroids.Some don't like to stick to a diet, as one gets bored quickly eating the same type of food, also the temptations of fast food is too much for some to avoid !

Well, for all such people trying desperately to lose weight, a specialist has said that if we follow these simple rules, it will help.
 

1. Snacking

Do you often find yourself subconsciously reaching for that 3pm snack even when you’re still full from lunch? We are undeniably creatures of habit but it is so important to listen to your body and only eat when you feel hungry. This will ensure you aren't adding unnecessary calories to your daily intake or getting into a habit of eating for the sake of it.

2. Eating whilst cooking

I know the feeling – you’re prepping dinner and the ingredients look so fresh and delicious that you can’t help but snack on bits and pieces as you cook. The problem is you might find that by the time your meal is ready, you’re barely hungry. This habit is a real trap for mums, particularly when cooking an early dinner for the kids and a later meal with their partner.

3. Hidden calories

Sauces can be a great way to add flavour but they are often jam packed full of sugar and hidden calories. Sauces and dressings can undo all the good work you have put into making a healthy meal without you even noticing. Making your own dressing is the best way to make sure you eliminate those hidden calories and know exactly what is going into your food. Don’t forget to experiment with spices too, which help add flavour to a home cooked meal.

4. Too much of a good thing

Avocado, nuts, and fruit - they’re all good for you, right? Absolutely, but try not to go overboard with your favourite ingredients. Don’t forget that moderation and variety is key and too much of one thing is never good for you.

5. Sitting all day

If you work in an office, chances are you’re sitting down at your desk for most of the day. I always tell my clients to keep moving throughout the day to incorporate some incidental exercise into your routine. Why not ditch the car and start walking to work, or even try working from a stand-up desk?

6. Portion sizes

So often, our eyes are way too big for our belly and this means we can load up our plates and feel the need to eat until it’s all gone. It’s important to make sure your portions are a sensible size and not too out of hand, and remember, don’t be afraid to leave food on your plate.

7. Liquid calories

While a bottled juice, can of soft drink or that extra addition of sugar or milk in your coffee might satisfy your sweet cravings, remember that they do nothing to fill you up and might mean you still reach for another snack on top. If you’re hungry, why not opt for a more filling snack like a protein ball to smash those sugar cravings?

8. Supermarket shopping on an empty stomach

I’ll be the first to admit that everything looks all the more enticing when you’re shopping with hungry eyes and an empty stomach, (that box of mac n’ cheese would really hit the spot!) But this is definitely when silly decisions are made, so do yourself a favour and make sure you avoid shopping when you’re starving.

Try to focus on eliminating these old everyday habits in favour of a healthier routine and I guarantee you’ll start to see a difference.
