Most of the city dwellers usually eat outside and eat too much in each meal. The food we consume each day is converted into calories to give us energy for our daily activities. However, excess of calories which are not expended will stored as fats. Therefore, practicing eating smaller serving of food more frequently will allow our bodies a chance to burn off calories before they are stored as fats.

Determine if you are really hungry or eating for other reasons, like boredom or depression. Once you know your triggers, have a list of alternate things to do when the mood strikes. You may choose to talk to a friend, take a walk, dance in the music etc instead of eating. This will save you from putting 470 calories into your mouth for a blueberry muffin from Dunkin’ Donuts, or 570 calories for large fries from McDonald’s.

Tips for Weight Loss #4: Skip Liquid Calorires
Study showed that liquid calories did not trigger satiety mechanisms. A group of people was asked to take 450 calories of jelly beans each day while the other group was ask to consume same amount of calories in liquid form such as juice or soda.  At the end of the study, it was found that the jelly bean eaters ate 450 calories less than the other group per day.
