How To Diet - 5 Smart Diet Tips To Cut Calories And Lose Weight While You Sleep!

We all know that when it comes down to it, there are two ways to lose weight – burn more calories or eat less of them. It sounds simple, right? So why is it so difficult to lose weight? Well, with my top 5 simple smart diet tips to cut calories there are no more excuses... follow these and you'll soon be on track to diet success and your perfect weight. 1 Snack Smart Snack smart means opting for low fat, low calorie snacks like cereal and milk, crackers and breads, popcorn, rice cakes, wholegrain cereal bars, veggie sticks, dried, tinned or fresh fruit and low fat yoghurts. Smart snacking though is really about planning what you eat between meals. Don't leave it to chance and end up having whatever is in the nearest vending machine – when you're going out for the day or when you're at work, make sure you bring your own healthy snacks with you! And make sure your fridge and larder are always well stocked with healthy snacks - it may sound obvious, but if you don't buy those crisps and sweets, you can't eat them! 2 Cook Smart You don't have to say goodbye to all your favourite foods - just cook them in a different way! It can make a huge difference to the calories. So cut back on fried foods and use the minimum of oil when you griddle, sauté or stir-fry. (Use olive oil if you can, it's better for your heart and all oils have the same amount of calories!) Cook your food in the oven instead of in fat! Grilling is great for meat and fish, while boiling and steaming are best for vegetables, when you are looking for low fat ways to cook. 3 Smart Plates Are you a member of the clean plate club? Well, this is one membership you definitely don't need, especially when you are having takeaways or eating out. Learn to stop eating when you are full and leave what you don't need. You don't have to waste half your meal - doggie bags are a simple way to enjoy two decent sized meals instead of one oversize portion – and takeaways can be taken home and half put in the fridge. At home, it's the same – if you need to, practice leaving a little food at every meal. 4 Smarter Starters Starters can be your best friend! Begin each meal with a large salad or a bowl of veggie-packed soup to fill you up and prevent over-eating. And try eating one of these before you go out too, especially if you're off to one of those social events full of those tiny but calorie heavy canapés, which it's so easy to eat just one more…and another…! If you're eating out, try having 2 starters instead of a starter and a main course. 5 Be a Smartie Foodie Learn as much as you can about foods and their calorie, sugar and salt levels. Start reading food labels – you'll be amazed what you'll discover – and quite how many calories there are in some foods. It's easy to get caught out by clever marketing. Read articles on food and nutrition in the newspapers, magazines, books – and on the net. Make sure you have the right nutritional balance in your diet for healthy weight loss - you can't lose weight successfully and safely without knowing the essential key principles of nutrition.
