I found some neat tips from the website Fitbie.com and thought we would share them with you on "Wisdom Wednesday"!
There are simple ways to help cut calories and fat per meal
#1 Select non fat or 1% whole milk.
#2 Dip your fork into your salad dressing, then pick up the lettuce leaves--not the other way around.
#3 Have a high protein granola bar or a high-fiber bar instead of an energy bar
#4 Substitue meats with lean meats such as turkey burgers, lean hamburger and canadian bacon
#5 instead of the whole egg, use only egg whites or use egg substitute
#6 substitue half the oil in a reciepe with applesauce when baking
#7 Try a calorie controlled frozen dinner made with whoe grains, lean proteinm and veggies instead of ordering take-out.
#8 Downsize your plates
#9 wait to have seconds for 20-30 minutes since it takes your body to register that you are full.
#10 water, water, water! If you are not getting enough water, your kidneys turn to your liver for help, which takes away from your fat-burning ability and slows metabolism.
Move on your lunch hour! A brisk 15 minute walk burns about 100 calories and it gives you less time to eat. Walk during your lunch for five days and burn 500 extra calories.
Chew your food! Women who chewed at least 20 times before swallowing ate up to 70 calories less at mealtime.
All this exercise should make you sleep even more on the weekends!
Studies show people who get less than 6 hours of sleep eat up to 300 calories more during the day because a lack of sleep triggers the production of the hunger hormone, grehlin.
Each extra hour of sleep could save you 100 calories. So don't set your alarm on saturday, and if you snooze, you lose!
Never go more than 4 hours without eating! Waiting to long to eat can cause you to become so hungry and irritable that it's hard to think throught the healthiest meal choice, let alone prepare one! And never go to the grocery store hungry!
Try to have 3 meals a day and a protein snack before dinner so you are not hungry for seconds! Protein makes you feel full and last longer till the next meal and you will feel more satisfied!
