Losing weight shouldn’t be as hard as it may seem. There shouldn’t be a need for complex diets and grueling training regimens. These simple tips will help you eat less and control your appetite for weight loss.
1. Use taller, skinnier glasses and tinier plates. Studies have shown that by using taller and skinnier glasses, some people tend to not pour as much to drink. Additionally, tinier plates can make it seem like you have a larger portion of food, which tricks your brain into thinking you’re eating a lot more than meets the eye. Portion control is essential to weight loss, so always opt for smaller servings.
2. Don’t skip meals. By skipping regular meals throughout the day, you increase your risk of overeating at night. Manage hunger better by eating all your meals. If you’re having trouble making time for your usual breakfast or lunch, consider a men’s whey protein shake. Mixing MenScience Whey Formula with fruits like berries and bananas creates a delicious protein-packed smoothie that will calm your hunger pangs. “What is a Men’s Whey Protein Powder?” explains why you should supplement your diet with whey protein.
3. Keep snacks out of your view. Out of sight means out of mind, so hide your snacks to manage hunger better. Pack them away, and put them in hard-to-reach spaces. Over time you will pick the easier, healthier, more accessible option as opposed to the unhealthy one. For a list of great snacks to keep around, check out “Healthy Snacks for Men.”
4. Go grocery shopping on a full stomach. If you go grocery shopping after you finish up a meal, you will spend less money and reduce your risk of impulse purchases. You won’t be as hungry and won’t want to buy everything you lay your eyes on. Another great tip is to avoid the “guilty pleasure” aisles such as the candy or cookie section. Remember, out of sight means out of mind. “9 Healthy Eating Tips for Men” has more advice on making healthy food choices.
5. Stop eating when you’re full. Sometimes, if you make a meal, you will feel obligated to have to finish all of it so it doesn’t go to waste. However, if you’re already full and keep eating, that is when the weight begins to pile on. If you’re not hungry, don’t continue to eat. A few wasted dollars is nothing compared to the lean, muscular body you can achieve.
