The truth is that when you eat more often, your metabolism speeds up as the body understands there is more food on the way and better metabolism means your body burns off calories instead of storing them.

4, Avoid ready, processed food in which preservatives are used.

5 Easy Ways To Reduce Calorie Intake

Successful weight loss is not about starving, its about fuelling your body with the healthy, low calorie food it needs to help u lose weight.

Going to the gym every morning might not be possible for all of us. And those guilt provoked three days/weekend works out is what you try to fit into your busy schedules. 

In a sense, our ravenous indulgences are ALL IN OUR HEADS.. Some of us know that our desire 

to eat is not always based on our bodies..it may also be based on fluctuating levels of a brain 

chemical known as Serotonin. When its level dip..hunger sets in, cravings intensify and we succumb to those cravings...

But how helpful are the exercise and more over how loyal are you to them? So if your lifestyle
forces you to cheat on your exercise routine, here’s what you can do to keep your weight under
control. We tell you Five simple ways to reduce your calorie intake to keep yourself healthy.

 

Drink water before your meal

Half a glass of water before your meal will fill you up. This way the chances of overeating reduce drastically. This way, you will also reduce the chances of feeling stuffed post the meal.

Switch to skimmed milk

Replace your regular packet milk to a low calorie skimmed milk. Add the healthier milk to your morning cup of java. Another option for you is goat milk as it is tastier and healthier than the regular high-on-cream milk.

Eat slowly

The elders tell you to chew your food for a specific number of times before you swallow it. The trick is that, when you chew your food well, it aids the body in the digestion process. Your body understands the food well and you land up eating almost half of what you would normally eat. Ideally, one should spend a minimum of 20 minutes over each meal.

Select smaller portions

When eating out eat only half the portion of what has been served to you. Share the meal with your partner. Outside foods normally come in large portions and added ingredients like soda and Ajinomoto make the food difficult to digest. So, the next time you go to a deli split your serving with your partner.

Resist the calorific food

When you next visit a Subway avoid adding mayonnaise, cheese to the sub. Initially, the flavour might be difficult to adjust but eventually you would get used to it. Replace the mayo with mustard. Bread is an integral part of our diet these days, switch to a lighter bread that will cut down upto 100 calories at least.

It is always best to carry your own lunch and eat wholesome home cooked food. Eat as many vegetables as you can and also make sure that you add a lot of colour to your platter. When craving for sweets, avoid chocolates or other desserts, binge on fruits or yogurts to satisfy the craving. If you follow these few tips while eating, your calorie count will steadily come under control and you will never have to feel guilty about missing your workout!
