1. SNACKS , OK OCCASIONALLY
Snacking between meals used to be on the weight-loss hit list. But nutritionists better understand now it is better to satisfy a craving with healthy food than ignore it and risk a junk-food binge later on. The best picks are filling, protein-packed snacks, such as one stick of string cheese, a tablespoon of peanut butter on a piece of fruit, etc.
2. TURN OFF THE TELEVISION!
Eating while viewing can make you take in forty percent more calories than usual, reports a recent new study. Texting on the cell phone, driving, or any other distracting activity during a snack or meal can also result in your over-eating. Instead of the usual food binge, make each meal something you put on a plate and sit down to enjoy, even if you are eating solo.
3. CHECK YOUR WEIGHT DAILY
If your regular weight increases several days in a given week, it is a red flag letting you know you need to cut back a little or beef up your workouts slightly.
4. SCULPT THREE TO FOUR TIMES A WEEK
Doing five minutes each of push-ups, lunges, and squats (in thirty-second intervals) will help build and maintain muscle mass over the long term. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will be, so you will torch more calories as you go about your day.
5. REACH FOR YOUR CELL/PHONE
Next time your mind gets stuck on a certain food or craving, call a friend and redirect your brain by asking how his or her day is going. Research shows that cravings only last about five minutes, so by the time you hang up, the urge to devour junk will have subsided. Try it sometime, you might be surprised about the results.
