Want to
lose weight without really trying? This is not a trick question. If you're exhausted from counting fat grams, blending weight-loss shakes and trying to force down cheerful packages of rubbery diet food, stop! Here are 10 easy, healthy ways to drop the pounds effortlessly--no pain, no gain! 1.Include two fruits or vegetables in every meal or snack. You'll feel fuller and cut back on calories from other foods. 2.Eat breakfast. You'll be less likely to overeat later in the day. 3.Snack every 4 hours. Try oranges, apples, pretzels, string cheese. 4.Eat at regular intervals. 5.Know your portions: 1/2 cup of rice is the size of your fist, an ounce of cheese is a large marble; a 3-ounce serving of meat is a deck of cards. 6.Divide your plate: 3/4 with vegetables, grains, beans and fruit; 1/4 with extra-lean meat or low-fat dairy products. 7.Make room for cravings. Have a cookie now and then; just drop something else that day. 8.Drink water -- a glass every one to two hours will keep you full. 9.Eat slowly. 10.Cut 100 calories a day. Replace that candy bar with an orange and banana, and lose a pound a month. TOP |
