Reduce calorie-rich foods and eat a balanced diet rich in nutrients. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains. These keep you satisfied with low calories and provide essential nutrients.
Pay attention to food portions to survive longer. Use a small plate and bowl. Listen for signs of hunger and fullness. Eating in front of the TV or computer can make you overeat.
Add strength training and aerobic exercise to your plan. Get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and stretch training two days a week. This increases muscles and burns calories.
Drink water or herbal tea throughout the day. Sometimes thirst is confused with hunger, which leads to the habit of overeating. Drinking water before meals controls appetite.
Reduce your intake of canned food, sugary snacks and sugary beverages. These have less nutrition and more calories. Choose whole and unprocessed foods.
sleep well. Lack of sleep can cause hormonal imbalance which increases food cravings. Keep to a regular sleep schedule and try to get 7-9 hours of sleep every night.
