7 Easy Weight Loss Tips

It’s  swimsuit season ladies & gentlemen and if you haven’t already started to panic you may once you take your swim suit of its drawer or shop to buy a new one.

You don’t need to compromise your complexion to get the beach body you’ve always wanted – you can lose weight AND wrinkles with this easy eating plan.

#1  SPICE UP YOUR LIFE
Sprinkle, chop, grate and grind at least three herbs and spices on to every meal. You are not only adding extra flavor but also a range of different skin and brain-friendly antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Herbs have medicinal powers as well. It is a way of upgrading your nutrient intake without supplements. Some spices also increase your metabolism, and make you feel fuller and more satisfied.

#2  SNACK ON YOGURT
The low fat (not fat free) variety, not the sugar-filled creamy kind. You can add a teaspoon of sugar-free jam or honey or a teaspoon of cinnamon. High in protein and calcium, low fat yoghurt may also help to burn fat.

#3  EAT FISH EVERY DAY
Because you only want to eat quality protein, try to eat fish every day as well as lots of chicken, eggs and low-fat diary products. Lean cuts of red meats are fine once a week. Fish that are high in beneficial omega fats – especially salmon and mackerel – can be eaten up to four times a week.

#4  MAKE SUGAR YOUR ENEMY
Keeping your blood-sugar level is important for controlling food cravings. Sugar is also aging for your skin. That means eliminating sugar in its many forms. Sugar cans even be found in supposedly healthy snack bars and breakfast cereals.

#5  FEEL FULLER WITH FIBER
High fiber foods are good for keeping blood sugar balanced and helping you feel full. Go for whole grains, such as brown rice and oatmeal, as well as lots of greens, root vegetables, peas, beans and lentils, seeds and nuts.

#6  DRINK WATER
Try to drink around 6-8 glasses  of water every day.
You can also get water from fruit and vegetables: apples, broccoli, grapes, lettuce, peaches and tomatoes are all around 80-90 per cent fluid. If you are hungry between meals have an 8 ounce glass of room-temperature water with lemon or a cup of tea. Wait 20 minutes.
If you are still hungry have an apple.

#7  MEASURE YOUR PLATE
No more than a third of your plate should be animal based (ie protein, like chicken, fish, eggs and meat). the remaining two thirds should be made up of either two or more different vegetables plus healthy whole grains such as lentils, brown rice or pasta.

If you try to follow these seven simple rules not only will you notice a difference in your weight and appearance but you will feel a whole lot better in yourself.
