I know, as soon as you saw the words "easy" and "lose weight" in the headline, you were ready to write this off as another one of those gimmicks or programs sound too good to be true and usually are. But bear with me and you'll learn 3 strategies that I guarantee will help you in your weight loss efforts.
You've probably been conditioned to believe that weight loss had to be tied to countless hours at the gym, the latest supplement breakthroughs or eating nothing but celery stalks and tofu. Fortunately, dropping a couple dress sizes doesn't take anything that drastic. What it does take is making some small changes in the behaviors that led to the addition of those unwanted pounds. Here are 3 lifestyle changes that will immediately help you lose that unwanted fat and get your body back.
1.Stop Eating Out.Think back to when you were growing up. Do you remember what the dinner plates looked like? Now compare that to what the "plates" look like at O'Charleys, Applebees or any of the other chain restaurants. It's no wonder we're gaining weight. There are dozens of studies about eating out and they all lead to one conclusion: if you eat out, you overeat! Not only is it almost impossible to exercise effective portion control when you eat out, but you're also compelled to get you money's worth so you eat everything you're served rather than stopping when you should.
The bottom line is that those who eat out consume more calories than those that don't. Take a break from eating out for the next six weeks and see how easily you can drop a dress size or even two. And you can use the money you saved eating at home to buy a couple of new outfits to showcase your improved body.
2. Eat Smaller Portions.You don't have to avoid the foods that you enjoy - you just can't eat big servings of them. An easy way to do this is to use smaller plates for your meals. This will help you fell like you're not depriving yourself while still exercising good judgment. And don't think that just because something is on your plate, you have to eat it. As opposed to what your mother told you, you don't have to 'clean your plate.' In fact - you shouldn't. Eat slowly and stop when you aren't hungry any more. You'll quickly find that you can enjoy your favorite foods and your skinny jeans at the same time.
3. Make Better Choices.I know I just said that you can eat the foods you enjoy and still lose weight, but that doesn't mean overindulging on processed foods, candy, sodas and chips. The key is moderation. So when you go to the supermarket, do the bulk of your shopping around the perimeter of the store and spend less time in the isles. When you're at work, keep health snacks handy so you don't have to rely on the company's vending machine for your energy boost. But most importantly, make good choices with the meals that don't really matter. Your quality of life won't dramatically improve if you choose a cheeseburger over a grilled chicken salad for lunch, so don't do it. Save the times when you are going to choose foods that might be considered unsupportive for the meals that you really look forward to. Improving your choices will accelerate your weight loss and help you save unnecessary calories without really trying.
Obviously, there is nothing magic about any of these three strategies other than the results that they produce. So start applying these three simple ideas and prepare to get your body back.
我知道,当你一看到"简单"和"减肥"的字眼出现在标题上时,你就会准备把这些字眼去掉,就像另外那些听起来太好以至于不真实,不寻常的(广告)噱头或是计划一样.但是,请允许我介绍,并且我将保证你会学到三个帮助你减肥的好方法.
也许你已经习惯于相信减肥必须是与花费无数时间在健身房，补充突破，或是除了芹菜茎和豆腐外什么也不吃联系在一起的．而我介绍的方法的的确确只是让你在那 些会导致你增加额外重量的行为上做些小改动．下面是三个在生活方式上的小改变，它们会马上帮你减掉多余的脂肪，让你的身材苗条回来．
1. 停止外出就餐．回想你成长的过程，你还记得那些餐盘看起来象什么吗？现在，把那个比作在O'Charleys, applebees 或是其他的任何一家连锁餐厅的盘子的样子．这就不难得知我们为什么会增加体重了．大量关于外出就餐的研究表明：如果你外出就餐的话，吃的过多是必然的！这 不仅仅是因为当你外出就餐的时候，几乎不可能自制，而是你会被强迫去吃掉所有你点的东西,让自己觉得划得来，而不是适可而止．
总体来讲，那些外出就餐的人摄入的热量比那些在家的多．在接下来的六周里，从外出就餐解放出来，看看你减掉一个，甚至是两个衣服码子是多么容易的一件事吧．并且你可以用这些在家吃饭省下来的钱,去买几套服装来展现你改善后的体型．
2. 减少份量．你 不需要避免那些你喜欢的食物，只要你不吃大份量的就行．一个简单的方法就是用小盘子来吃饭．这将帮助你感到并没有丧失自我，依旧有着好的判断力．然而不要 认为那仅仅是因为你盘子里有东西，你就必须吃完．就象反对你妈妈所说的,你不需要＂洗你的盘子＂(舔的干干净净)．事实上，你就是不应该那样．细嚼慢咽， 并且在你根本就不饿的时候停下来，很快你就会发现你能享用你喜欢的食物的同时，紧身裤也能穿了．
3. 做更好的选择．我 知道，你能吃你喜欢的食物还能减肥就象我刚刚说的，但这并不意味着过量的食用加工食品，糖果，碳酸饮料，炸土豆条．关键还在于适度．所以当你去超市时，饶 着商店的周界线买大部分你要买的，少花时间在狭小的范围．当你在工作的时候，随手准备健康的小食品，以便你不用依靠公司的自动售货机来提高精力．但是最重 要的是,在正餐的上做出正确的选择,而做到这个不难．如果你选择干酪汉堡包加烤鸡沙拉做为午餐，就不能说你的生活质量得到大量的改善，所一不要那样.把你 那些用来选购并没有考虑进正餐的食物的时间节省下来吧．调整你的选择将会促进你减肥，帮你免去那些额外的热量．
很明显，除了那些方法会产生的效果之外，这三个方法没有什么好神奇的了．所以开始试用这三个简单的法子,做好恢复苗条的身材的准备吧！
