Simple Weight Loss Strategies Part 3

Losing weight may seem a difficult task, but implementing simple weight loss strategies can help you to reach your objectives. One strategy which is extremely useful is this: eat frequent, smaller meals. The theory behind this tactic is that you will keep your blood sugar levels stable throughout the day and this will prevent hunger.

Of course, it is important to ensure that you eat healthy food if you snack on chocolate and high fat snacks, this wont be effective. Protein is particularly good when it comes to keeping your blood glucose on an even keel and so good snacks would be a few walnuts with an apple or some cottage cheese or natural yoghurt with goji berries.

An alternative, particularly if you eat a salad or a sandwich at work at lunch time, would be to divide this into two portions and have one at around 11 oclock.

When it comes to main meals, you will need to exercise portion control. A good trick is to use smaller plates for everyone. The rest of the family can have more if they want, but if you all start off with the same amount, you wont feel so deprived just leave the table before they tuck in to a second helping and leave the washing-up for them!

Another strategy which works well with more frequent meals, is cutting out carbohydrates in the evening. If you have had a mid-afternoon snack, you could stick to protein with a large helping of vegetables in the evening. It is best not to eat a heavy meal before going to bed when trying to lose weight anyway.

Simple weight loss strategies can make a big difference to your efforts, enabling you to reach your goals with a lot less stress.
