Nutrition - How to lose weight Tip #5



Since weight loss is mainly based on how many nutrient dense calories you take in compared to how many calories you burn during the day, it is essential that we limit our calorie intake to no more than you actually need. The best way to do this is by making sure that you keep all the starchy and fatty food items in the kitchen, and bring out only the salad and vegetable entrees to the table. Plate all the starchy and fatty food items that you need for the meal in the kitchen, so that while you're at the dinner table all you have in front of you is the vegetables. This little tip will prevent you from getting up from the table and walking to the kitchen to get second helpings. Instead you will be more inclined to fill up your plate with salad and veggies if you still feel the need for more food. Also, having fruits at the table will fulfill your dessert craving without spiking your calorie intake. This will also help you meet your daily servings of fruits and vegetables. Make this a daily habit and you feel and see the results in no time. Happy Eating!
