Try These Weight Loss Tips To Reach Your Goals
Weight loss can be seen as a simple mathematical proposition. It’s all about the calories: eat more than you burn and you gain weight. And the same the other way. That sounds simple, but there are other factors involved.
It is recommended that cardio be done in the mornings before breakfast for maximum weight loss. Studies show that cardio results in more calorie burning when done early on.
Keep track of the calories you eat daily. When you can remove a fatty food, do so. Also, replace fattening foods with those lower in fat and calories.
It is pretty well known that drinking plenty of water is a good way to help with weight loss. Have you also heard that drinking chilled water causes your metabolic rate to increase? When a person drinks very cold water the body has to work harder to bring its temperature back up, which speeds up the metabolism.
Instead of mashed potatoes, try mashed cauliflower. Cauliflower makes a tasty substitute for starchy potatoes. Simply cook them first in boiling water and then put them in a blender to puree. You can also add some chicken or beef stock for added flavor. You will then have a nutritious dinnertime side dish with very few carbs.
French fries are a very addictive snack to have during the day. Many who are wanting to lose weight have failed due to these. Baked fries, however, can be a way of still enjoying french fries while sticking to your diet. Slice your potatoes about a half inch and mix them with oil, put some peooper and salt on them, try a little rosemary and bake them at 400. Use a spatula to loosen them, turn them over and let them bake for approximately 10 minutes. They are absolutely delicious with ketchup, much lower in fat calories, and you will never miss the deep frying. These “French Bakes” are from Laurel’s Kitchen cookbook.
Eating fat calories can increase your weight quickly compared to calories from proteins. Plus, there are some foods that actually burn calories. Review the glycemic index of foods to know which ones are good for weight loss and management. This guide can help you choose your meals.
