What To Do When You Want To Lose Weight

Weight loss surgery can be effective for some patients. Most people who undergo surgical

procedures are at least 100 pounds overweight. Some insurance carriers, including

Medicare, will pay for lap band surgery, although a great number of patients have to pay out

of pocket.

Take a hike. In addition to enjoying the great outdoors, you will burn a lot of calories. The

amount of calories you burn depends on the type of hiking you are doing. Hiking up hills

carrying weight will burn more calories than a cross-country hike.

If you are someone who likes to snack on foods like potato chips, opt for chips that are baked

instead of fried. Baked chips contain up to 30% less fat and calories, and best of all, the

majority of people can't tell a difference.

Eating a chunky soup instead of a meal can help you lose weight. Never is it a good idea to

get the calories you need from beverages. You will feel like you're more full if you're eating

hearty soups instead of those creamy or pureed ones.

For weight loss, make your meat selections leaner choices than before. If you are a fan of

highly caloric condiments like steak or cream sauce, replace them with salsa or chutney and

see how you like it. This will keep your meat from seeming dry or tasteless. You can get

chutneys in several different flavors, and they open up a world of flavors for your meat.

Keep ice handy and put it in your mouth when you have cravings for food. Eating ice is often

quite useful when it comes to curbing your appetite, as it keeps the mouth busy.

If you are eating meals off a small plate, you will probably eat less. People tend to finish what

is on their plate. Using smaller plates and bowls means that you will take less of a portion.

The only larger bowl or plate you will want to use is for healthy salads. By using a smaller

plate, your portion sizes will look bigger and you'll eat less.

After you shop for groceries, take a few minutes to partition your food out in separate bags or

containers that contain individual servings. You can use baggies and containers to hold the

portions which have been carefully measured. If you already have your food ready when

you're ready, you will be less likely to overeat.

The shoes you work out in must be comfortable. Exercise can be hard on your body,

especially if you are not supporting it with comfortable, properly fitted attire. The shoes need

not be pricey; just be certain to try them on so that you know they fit properly.

A good weight loss strategy to follow is to make use of smaller dishes. You're more likely to

accidentally overeat if you use large dishes. Your meal should fit within a 9-inch plate. Any
