The 2 Diet Tips Everyone Should Know
I understand how frustrating it can be to try to stay on track while dieting.
Even though dieting will never feel easy, it definitely doesn’t have to feel terrible.
The reason why people feel extremely hungry is simply because of poor planning and poor meal choices.
This can be easily corrected by making smarter decisions and planning ahead of time.
Despite this, we might still find it difficult to stick to our diet plans.
You see, you have to stick to a certain number of calories to lose weight and there’s no way around it.
What you can do is make it as simple and efficient as you can to stick to your calories.
If you have noticed that you find it difficult to stay on track while dieting, try incorporating the two tips below and hopefully you’ll see the difference over time.
1. Stop Snacking
This is one of the major flaws I see in people’s diets.
Unplanned Snacking between meals. It doesn’t matter if you’re eating healthy snacks or not, if it is unplanned, it will affect your ability to stick to your diet plan.
There are tons of people who skip out on a proper lunch or dinner, and then you see them binging on a pack of chips.
The solution to this problem is simple.
What I want you to do is write down somewhere the number of meals you will eat in a day.
You can write this down on a piece of paper, or just type it down in the notepad of your phone.
This is where you decide how you’ll plan your diet structure.
If you feel you’re someone who doesn’t feel full eating 3 meals a day, write down that you’ll have 3 larger meals and 1 small meal.
On the other hand, you might be someone who prefers 4 equal sized meals.
Write down what you prefer, but remember the more number of meals, the smaller the size of each meal.
Once you have done this, make sure you don’t snack in between meals.
If you wrote down you will have 3 meals, make sure you eat nothing in between those 3 meals.
I can assure you that if you’re eating right, you will not feel hungry.
You might feel greedy, but you won’t feel hungry.
The point of writing this down is that it’ll help you build discipline.
Till you don’t decide and write it down, you won’t be serious about following it.
That being said, the big picture is still your calories.
This just makes it easier for you to stick to them.
Once you get used to a set meal structure, you can follow it even when you’re not in a fat loss phase which will help you maintain your progress with ease.
After all, no one wants to rebound after an effective dieting phase!
2. Stop Drinking Your Calories
There’s nothing complicated here.
Drinking your calories is not a good idea if you plan on getting to and maintaining a low body-fat percentage.
Drinking your calories provides you with very less satiety and can put you over your calorie target very easily.
Simply put, eating an apple will keep you fuller for longer than drinking apple juice.
Same applies for any drink with calories.
Generally, eating something will tend to provide more satiety and this, in turn, keeps you fuller through the day.
What you can do here is simply make it a point to not consume drinks which contain calories if you’re very serious about your diet.
If you’re someone who can manage consuming drinks with a high caloric value and still stay on track, there is no problem.
But if you’re like the majority of people who find it difficult to lose those extra pounds of fat, this is one simple step you can take which can help you reach your goals.
Conclusion
While there’s no way around a calorie deficit, there are definitely ways to make it easier to go through.
A great way to ensure you stay on track is to stop snacking between meals and to stop drinking your calories.
Once you build up these habits, you will find it much easier to lean down and maintain a lower body-fat percentage.
That being said, you don’t have to be perfect every single day.
In the long term, consistency wins over perfection.
