Diet Tips and Tricks |

| ""I KEEP TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT BUT IT KEEPS FINDING ME", a famous humor about Diet which I heard from my friend when I ask him to practice it. But believe me its easy to maintain. |
| |
| First, we should know and understand the reason we gain fat weight. When more calories are consumed than the body has current use for, it converts those extra calories to fat for storage. |
| |
| When food was plentiful we ate in abundance and when times were lean survival depended on having enough fat stored. If we want to lose excess fat we need to consume fewer calories than our body needs. This is called energy deficit. If one were to consume 100 less calories everyday, or burn 100 more, it would result in over 10lbs of fat loss in a year time. If we want faster results, we have to make the energy deficit greater.

| Avoid Liquid Calories: |
| |
| A can of Coke has 139 calories; an average latte with regular milk has 180 calories; a 471 mL (16 fl oz) bottle of orange juice can have 225 calories. So opt for water (0 calories) and tea (5 calories per 250mL). Just for comparison, a plain donut has 185 calories, and a Subway roast beef deli sandwich has 215. |
| |
| First, Read Food Labels: Find out how much a serving size is; it is often less than we think. Products that boast of being low-fat or fat free are not necessarily low calorie. |
| |
| Do not Skip Your Meals: |
| |
| Try to eat 5-6 times per day. If you eat smaller amounts more often it will keep your metabolism speed up, keep you from over eating at meal times, and help balance your blood sugar level. If you are used to eating only 2 or 3 times a day, try gradually increasing your meal frequency so it does not seem so consuming. |
