The new year is officially here, and with it come the annual New Year’s resolutions. Are you one of the many people who have set weight loss goals
this year? The journey is not always going to be easy — at times it
will be challenging — but with persistence and determination you will
push through and be rewarded.
Losing weight takes more than just hitting the gym and eating right — although both are essential. You are going to need to follow a routine. Plan and prepare your meals ahead of time, start your morning with breakfast and green tea for a metabolism boost and add some extra walking to your morning commute.
Those of you who find exercising to be boring will be delighted to know that there are many ways to make it exciting. Finding an exercise you enjoy is key. “Regular physical activity has been shown to help people with healthy weight maintenance,” Summer Yule, MS, RDN, says. “You do not have to take up running; if you prefer to walk or dance, that is fine.” Consider finding a workout buddy and attending group fitness classes together.
The “New Year, New Me” journey has begun. Don’t wait any longer, get out there and start working toward your weight loss goals today.
1.“Eat the most filling and nutrient-dense foods first. Protein and fiber help us to feel fuller for longer, and vegetables are some of the most nutrient-dense foods around,” sports dietitian Kelsey Hampton says. “Enjoy your lean proteins and the non-starchy vegetables first to help reduce your appetite for more starchy, calorie dense foods.”
2.Fiber has numerous health benefits. But when it comes to weight loss, eating fiber increases the feeling of fullness. Some foods that contain fiber include apples, green beans, strawberries, chickpeas, black beans, brown rice, oatmeal and avocado.
3. Food shopping when you are hungry is a big no-no! When you’re hungry, surrounding yourself with food is a recipe for disaster. You will end up filling up your shopping cart with extra food, more junk food, and less food containing healthy nutrients. Plus, you will end up spending more money.
4.We tend to eat more when we eat on bigger plates and use bigger bowls. When we see our food on a bigger plate, our mind tells us that we are eating a small portion. Thinking we are not eating enough, we usually get up for a second plate. Try using a smaller plate; this will force you to put less food on your plate, and trick your mind into thinking you ate more food.
5. Finding an exercise that you enjoy will motivate you to stick with it. “Regular physical activity has been shown to help people with healthy weight maintenance,” Yule says. “You do not have to take up running; if you prefer to walk or dance, that is fine.”
