Don't have time to invest in a complicated diet plan like Atkins or Weight Watchers? Losing weight doesn't have to be hard! Try following these easy tips to make small changes in your daily diet. You will lose weight without the added stress of changing your whole lifestyle. You'll also be more likely to keep the weight off long-term as these changes become routine for you.
- Use skim milk instead of half-and-half or Coffeemate in your morning coffee.
- Eat a bowl of Kashi cereal instead of a fast-food breakfast. This high-fiber cereal will make you eat less throughout the day.
- Whatever you do, just make sure you eat breakfast! This super easy trick will ensure you don't pig out later on.
- Use Smart Balance instead of butter or margarine.
- Ask for a child-size soda instead of a medium-sized one if you find yourself at the drive-thru.
- Skip the croutons on your salad.
- Toss your salad with one tablespoon of low-fat salad dressing until every lettuce leaf is coated. You will get away with using half of the usual serving size. This is much more efficient than simply pouring a ton of fatty dressing on the top of your salad.
- Add hot sauce to your food whenever possible. The spiciness will up your metabolism while adding flavor to bland foods.
- Freeze a can of Donald Duck orange juice and enjoy as a dessert. It tastes like ice cream but has fewer calories.
- Replace half the butter in cake or brownie recipes with mashed bananas. Surprisingly, the final product is pretty much the same.
- If you think you are hungry, try drinking water before eating a snack. Our brains often confuse thirst for hunger. If you are still hungry after a glass of water, go for the snack.
