Personal Trainer No Sweat 500 Calorie Reduction PART II

Who said you only lose weight when you don't eat? In fact, the worse you could do to mess up your metabolism is by not eating. Calories act as fuel to our body and we could get them through what else but what we take in: FOOD. Losing that extra pound requires that you eat! Yes, eating the right food with the right quantity at the right time. Here is an easy guide for you to eat through to have that lean, fit body you've always dreamed of.

Losing while eating

1.) Start the Calorie Count Early - Begin your day with the end in mind. At breakfast start slashing off the calories by making smart choices. An English muffin is two hundred and twenty calories (220 cal) LESSER than your usual bagel. Swapping your usual pork for turkey sausage and three - egg omelette for two (2) egg whites and one (1) broiled egg is roughly one hundred twenty five calories (125 cal) off your plate. By substituting that glass of whole milk for skim milk, you are taking off seventy calories (70 cal) from your breakfast drink. A cup of a six hundred calorie (600 cal) granola can be traded off with a one hundred twenty calorie (120 cal) high - fibre oatmeal or cereal. Imagine how much calories you could slash off by making wise decisions all that without even starving yourself!

2.) Take Lunch Out - After a busy morning at work, you probably would be looking forward to something: LUNCH BREAK. Before you jump into the idea of eating your way out, think twice. Remember you started counting calories at breakfast; why not take it to lunch as well? Think thin. Instead of using mayo, opt for hummus or mustard on your bread roll. Instead of fries for your sides, choose a salad. This simple swapping could actually spare off that 500 calories for lunch. It is also important that you chew your food well. It takes twenty to thirty minutes (20 - 30) minutes for your body to feel that it is satiated. Chew at least twenty times (20 times) before swallowing your food and slash off at least seventy calories (70 cal) during meals. Additionally, instead of consuming your lunch hour all to eating, take a portion of it say fifteen minutes (15 min) to do a little walking. This 15 min walk is actually burning out one hundred calories (100 cal). Doing it five times a week sums up to 500 calories without even going to the gym.

3.) Small Steps to Fitness - It is all in the mind. What you eat is what you are. When you fill a 12 - inch plate with food, it is your brain's natural reaction to tell you to finish all of what is in it thus letting you eat more than what is supposedly just enough for your body. Try swapping your big plates to a smaller 9 - inch plate. Since it takes thirty minutes (30 min) for your body to register that you are full, simply by switching into much smaller plates; you can cut five hundred calories (500 cal) without even starving yourself.

4.) Eat This Not That - One simple smart decision could save you up to five hundred calories (500 cal). Imagine how much calories you could shed off with each smart choice you make daily. Skipping oil for example could save you from taking in four hundred calories (400 cal)! Instead of chips and high - fat dips, try whole wheat pita or baked tortilla on salsa for substitute. On desserts, try soy based whipped cream for your topping.
