Do you want to lose fat? Have you tried different diets and failed consistently? If you answered yes to these questions, you are in good company. There are a lot of people who have been trying fat loss diets over the years and have failed. The reason they have not succeeded is that they used gimmicks and lose-weight-fast diets that do more damage than good. Here are some sensible things to keep in mind when you try to lose weight.
1. Check everything you eat from the food itself to what you top it with. Condiments and garnishments may destroy a healthy meal since they're generally high in fat.
2. Get a handle on the sweet tooth. It does not mean you cannot consume your confectioneries; but do not have them as a meal. Don't forget that they will end up adding to an area that you do not want them to. Do not deprive yourself either, as after that you will eat twice as many as you should.
3. Fix times to have meals and stick to it. Try to have food at fixed times of the day. You can stretch these times by half an hour, but anything more than that is going to affect your eating pattern, the result will either be a loss of appetite or that famished feeling which will make you stuff yourself with more than what is required the next time you eat.
4. Eat only when you are hungry. Some of us have the tendency to eat whenever we see food. We use parties as an excuse to stuff ourselves. Understand that the effect of a whole week of dieting can be wasted by just one day's party food. Whenever you are offered something to eat do not decline it completely but just break of a nibble so that you appear to mind your manners and at the same time can watch your diet.
5. Try not to snack between meals, but if you must have a snack make sure it is a healthy one. If you travel a lot try to find healthy snacks and not junk food.
6. Vegetables make excellent snacks. These could get you over the hunger pangs when you're suffering them. Carrots are good since they satisfy crave and they're packed with nutrients.
