5 Ways To Cut Calories And Lose Weight
- Treat yourself with low-calorie indulgences: not everything that tastes good is loaded with calories. Lobster, which you may not be able to afford every night, has just 83 calories in a 3 ounce serving. Adding a tablespoon of whipped cream to your fruit instead of ice cream adds just 8 calories to your bowl.
- Eat six times a day: eating smaller meals more frequently can actually help you cut calories because you’re more likely to practice proper portion control if you’re not overly hungry.
- Go blue: the color blue seems to serve as an appetite suppressant, whereas red, yellow and orange can encourage eating. Try using blue plates and tablecloths during your meals.
- Eat off smaller plates: a great way to practice portion control without feeling hungry is to serve yourself less food, but use a smaller plate so it appears you’re getting plenty.
- Add vegetables to your recipes: putting chopped vegetables in casseroles, salads, and sauces will help fill you up without needing to add more high-calorie ingredients. Try adding more onions, peppers and tomatoes to your omelet instead of another egg.
