100+ tips to loose weight 4/4

I Promissed you in the Make Your Own Bikini post to help you get a killer body before summer. 

A thight and healthy body needs exercising, healthy food and rest, possibly supported by supplements. I have a few guys who know everything about this and to whom I will introduce you soon ;)

Anyway, I found about 100 tips to loose weight trough your eating pattern. I wont post them all at once because, as you know, I have my exams and need to spend time on them aswell.. For now part 1, the first 25 tips!
One last note, the tips are in random order, so 38 is as relevant as 69. Don't try to remember all of them but find the ones that suit you most.

01
Buy mostly fresh or frozen vegetables. The ones in cans contain a lot of Sodium which causes you to 'blow up' or 'swell up' because of the chemicals. Learn to read and interpret labels of foodproducts. Make sure it tells you: The size of the portion, the amount of portions a package, the maximum amount of portions a day and the Kcal worth, the amount of protein, carbs, fat and Sodium.

02
If you keep loosing weight and performed well, treat yourself to something non-food. Buy the book you wanted for a long time, go see a movie (don't buy candy), buy new clothes or whatever you like and is not eat-able.

03
Don't eat or drink while driving your car or anything like that. Apples excluded.

04
Don't eat or drink while you're watching TV or listening to music. You shouldn't get distracted when you are eating.

05
Avoid sleeping after eating. Try to have some movement, in or outside. Go for a walk instead of sitting in front of the TV. Keep a log of your sportivities, even if it's just a walk around the block. You will get used to this very easy which is exactly the point. In case you didn't do anything all day write 'NO' in your log.

06
Keep your favourites out of the door. Tell your family snacking is not allowed anymore in your house unless it's candy you really hate. Sow only buy candy you don't like.

07
In case you want some sweets and cool, take a ice water shape and fill it with sugarfree syrup. Ban ice-cream from your freezer.

08
If you want a cooled drink, put a cup of orangejuice in the freezer until it's almost frozen. Mix it and you have a healty, cool thirst quencher.

09
Don't go hungry to the stores. Studies show that's makes you buy more bad stuff. Use a list to avoid unnecessary purchases. Buy only non-listed things if it's a really good healthy offer.

10
Freeze left overs or throw them away, don't quickly eat them before sleeping. Food that makes you gain weight easily has be thrown away!

11
For every meal you are going to eat you have to set the table as follow: A tablecloth, plate, knife, fork, spoon and napkin. The thing is, you have to do it before eating anything, for bread, and dinner, but also chips or a chocolate bar, at any time of the day. Chocolate doesn't sound that appealing anymore now, right?

12
Avoid snacks in bite-size like peanuts, chips, cheese or other partysnacks. You will eat more of these little bitches than you planned to..

13
Alcohol is your villain. Not only does it help you forget you're trying to loose weight, it also converts food into fat more fast and slows down the fatburning from your body.

14
Go to a restaurant and look at the fat people there, Get in the skin of a nutritionist. In what way are these people eating, fast or slowly? Are they tasting their food or eating to get a certain amount? Do you look like that when you are eating? Do you want to look like that?

15
Put a mirror in front of you at your dining table. Look at how you look when you are eating. Do you like it or do you notice disgusting habits?

16
Use  children's cutlery and a breakfast-plate. Specially if you cut your meat in small pieces it will look like you have a whole lot more.

17
Try eating with Chinese chopsticks. Eating everything with them will make you loose weight. Can you imagine eating peanuts or chips or a chocolatebar with them? Smoking and drinking is only possible with hollow sticks. Water excluded.

18
Take a salad or bowl of soup before every meal excluded breakfast. Eat slowly, use the children's cutlery or sticks (soup not with sticks). The slow eating is to fool your mind/brain. It takes 20minutes before your stomach signals your brain that the hunger can go. Green salad with vinegar stimulates your digestion. Take the time during you dinner. You need to make these 20minutes. Also a glass of water before the meal can help you take away the (worst) hunger.

19
The tip with the children's cutlery is also to fool your mind. You are still eating the same plate-amount compared to a normal plate but the real portion is smaller. And because it takes you longer it takes the same time as a normal portion. Sounds simple, but it works.

20
If you are invited to a party, ask the hostess for her cooperation in your fight against the fat. Everybody will be prepared to eat some more vegetables or fresh fruits but give her some tips before, which you find on the internet.

21
Attend a party later and leave more early. This makes you wont have to stand the temptations that long. I any case try to be as far away from the snack table as possible. As drink you choose water or fruit juice. Think green Spa, tonic and Ginger-ale contain at least 66k and 10%sugar.

22
In case you are working somewhere where it's usual to lunch outdoors try light things like salads and other more healthy stuff. Be careful with the sauce you put on the salad, best is none.

23
If you really have to go to a dinner-party and you can't get out of it, try not eat that much in the days before. 'Cause promising yourself you will eat less the day after is fooling yourself, way to hard.

24
Eat in case of snacking fruit (little pieces) or raw vegetables like paprika or cucumber and think about what you are eating.

25
At the moment you want to plunder your fridge go for a walk, or at least leave the kitchen. Do something to change your mind. In case you can't stop it, drink a glass of water and try to wait 30minutes before you eat. When the 30minutes past, try to make it 60.

26
Rinse whenever you want to eat something your mouth. Use a mild water, preferably with a bit a sour taste.

27
Put a scale in the kitchen and weigh as much as needed. One prefers weighing once in an while to see the change, to another it keeps them from really eating in case of a binge. Sometimes the scale can't tell you the right things in that case you can see body changes trough your clothes. These are either tighter or more loose. Besides that, muscles are more heavy than fat, so not every weightgaining is wrong.

28
Delay techniques are the best methods to tackle eating impulses. As in point 25 you will bring the delay. It goes like this: Use a kitchen timer that puts you in ten minutes at the moment you get an eat-impuls while it's still not time to eat. Think in these minutes about how much you need tot eat now before the normal meal. Or search in those ten minutes, another recreation not to eat reminiscent.

29
Write everything you eat in a diary, what you felt when you ate and with who you were. Check this after a week or two to see what or who makes you eat. It's better to be warned..

30
Eat only in 1 place like the kitchen table. This prevents mindless eating on the phone or in front of the TV. Automatically eating is a real fattener and therefore enemy nr.1.

31
Make every meal a nice event. Enjoy every bite. Make the table with a nice candle, flowers or beautiful napkins. In this way you can take the bad part out of dieting and the more you enjoy the easier it will be to stay in shape.

32
Fold your table cutlery in a napkin, this makes starting your meal an conscious moment. Start unfolding when others already started eating. In case you eat alone first look at your meal. Does it look good? Can you make it look better? And note that for the next time.

33
Are you left-handed, eat with right and the other way around. Is this more slow? Good!

34
First eat the things you like most (specially non carbs). This will make you feel satisfied more easy.

35
If they serve you to much in a restaurant split it on your plate and put a lot of salt and pepper in the other half. in this way you wont be tempted to eat it anyway. If they thought you in your childhood that throwing food away is a sin, ask for a doggy bag and freeze it at home.

36
Something like the previous is putting lots of salt on your food when you start to feel satisfied. It looks like the above but is slightly different.

EXTRA. Make you plate after cooking and throw the rest away or freeze it immediately. After that share the food on your plate with your pets. In this way you can't eet to much and can't take more after sharing, this will really help.

37
Put you cutlery down after every bite and enjoy it. Taste your meat like it's a flavour-test.

38
Suck on an ice-cube during cooking. Without noticing you will take to many calories by tasting everytime.

39
Drink during cooking a big glass of water, this give you something in your stomach already and will amke you feel satisfied more easy.

40
If you can't keep your hands of the food during eating try eating with a mask or towel against your mouth and nose. This way you will be more aware of what you are eating, how fast and how much. Next to that it will take the smell away which makes the temptation smaller.

41
Never take the whole portion to your plate in the first time. Take the half and after that the half of the half that's left. When you are eating this 2nd part (3/4 of the meal) think if you really need the last part to be satisfied.

42
Use on salads lemon or vinegar dressing. Ask for these in restaurants. It causes faster metabolism and will make you feel satisfied faster.

43
You could buy a little bottle of it to keep in you pocket of handbag.

44
Compare the labels of foods and do not only pay attention to the amount of fat and Kcal but also sugars. In some low-fat foods are more sugars.

45
Notice the portions you eat. A cup of quark 800grams and two protions. Quark is also available in many kinds, low-fat with 90Kcal an 1gr fat or normal with 120Kcal and 5gr fat the portion.

46
Many of these tips are from brochures and pamphlets which you can get at your local healthcare associations. They can also provide you information about the importance of eating healthy and about the way to loose weight and to live healthy.

47
Don't fool yourself. If you buy snacks, you will eat them. So don't buy them! Besides that your family should help you and not snack around you, cause the things you don't see , you can't eat.

48
Eat before going to a restaurants a little soup or some bread. This way your hunger will be less. Tell them at the restaurant what you want on your plate and what not. Sauces are fatteners so they should be apart. Salad has to be with lemon and vinegar, if they make it with oil send it back.

49
Leave the room if a colleague is treating because of his/her birthday. If you can't leave tell them you dont like it, or can't have because of your sugarlevel or something like that. Don't say you are on a diet cause in that case they will try to give you some and make stupid comments like it's only on or you are not fat blabla. If you have to take it, throw it away if they are not looking.

50
Instead of staying in during luch and eating (wrong) things go for a walk. Take the time to relax a bit.

51
Learn yourself a rythm to help you fight against your problem. Learn to eat, sport, work an sleep at specific times. Let this routine be a help, a support to get trough the day without hunger.

52
Avoid places like cafes and bars until you feel strong enough to overcome the allusions about your weight or diet. You should certainly reject many drinks because you just a 'water' drinker and you'll be branded a wimp and if you do not spoil it sucks. And take into account the cocktail nuts etc on the table flirting with you...

53
Do you drink alcohol anyway, try light-beer or a light-cocktail (with lots of soda or ice). Drink beer from a small glass instead of a mug.

54
If you do go out, avoid the salties, chips and other savory. They not only make you more thirsty but you will also eat to much of them. Besides that you wont drink alcohol to much before dinner you can't estimate how much you will need to eat more.

55
In case you go out with a group and they order wine for everyone just talk half of a glass and sip. If you empty your glass it will get filled. Since water is the best just order a bottle of water at all times.

56
Soda and water, one-calorie-drinks, orange- and or tomatojuice are available almost everywhere and at every party. Always have one of those in your hands, it will make you look like you're drinking and it contains little calories.

57
Make your eating habit like the old-Dutch saying:
"Eat like a emperor in the morning, like a citizen in the noon and like a beggar in the evening".
If you can't eat (that much) in the mornings try going to bed without eating, this will make it more easy to eat in the morning. The amount of your breakfast can increase in time. A distribution of calories looks like 40% - 30% - 30% throughout the day. This is only to learn eating in the mornings.

58
In case you have kids, don't take them shopping, but leave the at the neighbours or grandparents. Otherwise they will only drive you crazy by asking for candy and other bad stuff. Stick to the list you made at home.

59
Don't just skip meals! The danger in it is taking snacks to easy. This will not only make you miss the needed necessary nutrients but it also dangers your diet.

60
Make sure you don't have easy-to-prepare foods in the house besides your normal food. If you have to put a lot of effort in making a snack you will be less wanting it than when you only need to open a bag.

61
Never eat lying down or standing. This will make it less easy for your stomach to process the food.

62
If you really want to sin once, make sure someone is with you. SO don't try to hide snacking.

EXTRA
Or choose things which you're allowed to snack of, like raw vegetables or boil a egg.

63
Leave the table if you're done eating. Don't sit there and stare at the other, this will make you keep eating.

64
Also let others get of the table and take their plates with them. This will prevent you from taking rests of their plates or dipping your finger in the sauce. It can be very difficult to loose weight and these small things together are big in the addition.

65
Keep your food in non-see-through boxes and preferably in a difficult to reach or hidden spot. Like the top shelve or in the basement. You make effort to snack which means... remember?

66
Don't buy candy for family or visitors because in the end you will be eating them as well. Or only buy things you really don't like!

67
Never skip a meal. It's not realistic to think you will deal with the hunger. Eat everything permitted within your diet. If you have trouble with your diet ask your nutritional expert to help you or give you some recipes or find on the internet people who are doing the same diet. There are lot's of forums where people discuss dieting.

68
Try to break the routine of your dinner. Experiment with a grill or oven, try raw vegetables or baked potatoes. A salad can also have a very different twist to your meal, it contains, if properly prepared, little calories and can be made with many ingredients. Or search again in the attic old recipe books.

69
Prepare for your dinner outby thinking about it before, think what you will say to the waiter about salads and desserts and what your plate can and can not contain. And drink a large glass of water before to fill your stomach a bit.

70
Skip the 'aperitif' before the meal. For you no drinks or toast, and also no bread and garlic butter. Just do this you have to be alert enough to see the waiter doing this in time. take a glass of water or tea. If you are in a restaurant make sure the waiter doesn't put anything on your plate which you don't want, keep you hand above your plate.

71
Be very precise in removing fatty edges from chicken, beef or pork. Always remove the skin from poultry before you start eating. That's full of fat!

72
If during a business dinner or lunch you 'must' keep eating, you take every other vegetables on your plate. Ask the waiter for extra vegetables, this will always be quickly replenished.

73
Always choose skimmed milk instead of whole. Chocolate is not recommendable but buttermilk is allowed.

74
A so/called fruit/bowl is a good desert if it contains fresh fruit. But mostly it will be made with can/food which are on syrup base. Syrup is nothing more than suger dissolved in water, not smart for a diet.

75
The words LIGHT, LOW-FAT or LOW-CALORIES don't mean that much, since they don't tell you anything about the nutritive value of the product. Something can be low-fat and full of empty calories. Or light with a huge amount of fat instead of sugar. So read the labels!

76
Write your daily experiences into a diary. Describe your meals, what you've eaten, how or by whom they were created, the beautiful aspects of losing weight but also et the difficult things. Let the dietitian read your diary so that he/she can give tips or incentives for you to reach your goal faster or easier.

77
Your body runs on food, if you're overweight then you should walk. Leave the car or bike and walk to a friend or the work or the supermarket. Go every day for a walk or explore the area of your residence. Start with small pieces and make them longer and longer rides.

78
Do more on foot is the rule. An overweight will tend to move less. Walking is something everyone can do and what they can build up quickly at their own pace to an acceptable level. Strolling is of course after your honor. Forward with strong pass!

79
Try not to become a bank ornament but move through the room more. Get up more ofter for something someone else needs and change your position more often. Put if you go to the shop the car not on the sidewalk in front but in that parking spot a little further. The shopping cart of course bring you back to the store.

80
Buy, use and wear sporty clothes. It's nice and you can easily move along. Purchase this clothing not on growth but on the contraction!

81
If this fits into your lifestyle, you should be more sexually active. Love can eliminate many problems but no love is often forgotten by eating. Also the more weighted among us can enjoy a satisfying sex life. More about this here, point 5.

82
Be realistic about the weight you'll be able to lose in a month. Do not worry when there's nothing lost. You then had normal, healthy muscle growth or there is some extra fluid in your body behind. Expect up to two or three pounds a week after the first pounds flew off.

83
Drink ice cold water, which will not only solve your thirst, but also your body needs to work just a bit harder against the cold which will make you burn more calories.

84
Or drink hot drinks. Hot water, tea etc will make you feel filled faster and prevent you from snacking. Definitely a sweet tea will keep you from overeating / snacking.

85
If you really feel like something bad in terms of things like chocolate or something, don't deny it yourself but try to sincerely enjoy and walk an extra time up and down the stairs. If instead you choose anythingjust to give into your sentence, the crave will not go away and you will just eat more.

86
Make sure you have enough sleep. People who sleep poorly are generally thicker inter alia, by lack of proper sleep and eating-rhythm. This makes you not only hungry but because you use less energy because your body doesn't get enough rest and will storage more fat to gain energy from there.

87
Make sure there is between your last meal and your bedtime is about 3 hours time, that way your body has the ability to burn what you ate.

88
Never take too much loose change to work or going out. If you do not have change it becomes much more difficult to buy snacks from a vending machine or something.

89
For nightly refrigerator crackers: Put a glass of buttermilk on your nightstand and put some fruit ready. Also making an alarm bell to the refrigerator light is a playful way of your nightly trips to end because you now awakens your fellow residents as you open the refrigerator and that is often not pleasant.

90
Use your hands. If you are busy painting, embroidering or something else with your hands you can't snack and probably won't eve think about it.

91
Find a weightloser-in-crime to share your fate. Try talking to this person every day about the things that keep you busy. Encourage each other and keep an eye on each other's progress. Isn't there anyone that you can share your problem with try searching on internet forums, or open a topic on my forum.

92
Avoid all despondent, disappointed and negative people which have never been able to achieve what you intend. Think positive, live fully but eat in moderation. You'll get there even if another not succeeded.

93
Think not only positive but also think thin. Set a goal that is worthwhile. Buy a beautiful piece of clothing in the size you have the ultimate goal in sight. So you can automatically see the end approaching.

94
Be firm and assertive. Assertive does not mean aggressive but say what you want without offending.

95
Leave something at every meal on your plate, leaving a bite or a piece gives you the feeling that you can even go with less. There is no greater sin than to eat more than you planned, because you could not leave leftovers. Get yourself over to think in this way.

96
Portion formatting starts in the shop. Get your vegetables in measured portions packaged by the grocer. Get your meat in, according to you only, right quantities at the butcher (or freeze in several portions at home). Take it too lean meat instead of the bargain. It is more expensive but is there a tasty and calorie-poorer piece of meat you'll get out of it.

97
You may not give in to the desire to get very strong laxatives or diuretics, to quickly lose a few pounds. These things are very bad for your intestines and sometimes even your intestines lay quiet, allowing your food, without anything of it contained in the blood to leave your body. You should try to lose weight but stay healthy. With approximately six to seven slices Malsovit you get enough fiber for your bowels to work properly. Also walking helps with bowel problems.

98
Do not expect miracles of yourself or of the method used by you. It takes hard work and lots of blood, sweat and tears to be slimmer. Your habits, your thinking, your diet and your sports to have any effect (otherwise you vainly attempt from the outset). The slower it goes, the better you feel and the longer the fat stays away.

99
See this whole weight loss story as a course. You learn to lose weight naturally. Do not be too hard on yourself. See some sinning through fingers when the sin remains within the acceptable quantities. Expect trouble ahead, they will surely come, so be prepared. Change a lot of little things in your life but be yourself.

100
The last tip I give is that every person who offers food should be treated with suspicion. Saboteurs and feeders can make it very difficult. Avoid them. Trust no one in the beginning until you know feeders. A little paranoia can’t hurt but can save a lot of effort. Read these hundred tips like the other information and work with the aim of becoming the boss of your body.

Besides the tips I came across this link: http://starlounge.celebs.nl.msn.com/index.cfm?objectid=167709 Men most of these girls are way to skinny in my opinion!! And most of the pictures are really ugly..
