Tried everything from hitting the gym or including a keto diet? Or you just don’t want to give them a try because you have seen many people struggling with that? Or you want to try something else?

Then, this blog is definitely for you. 

So, here is the spoiler: you don’t need to stick to a hardcore regimen. Even simple tricks can do wonders for you in cutting off extra bulges. For example, chewing slowly, eating without distractions, using smaller plates, and eating more fibre. 

Let’s break down these tips so you can break down your unwanted fat.

Chew Slowly & Thoroughly 

You might have heard from your grandparents - chew slowly and mindfully. Have you ever paid attention to that, or why did they say this? Well, this is directly linked to your current goal of losing weight. 

Your brain takes time to process to make you feel you have eaten enough. So, those who eat faster usually eat more to feel full. On the other hand, those who eat slowly or thoroughly eat less as they feel full earlier than usual. This way, they eat less. However, as you are eating thoroughly and properly, there are chances of absorbing more nutrients in the mouth. 

Use Smaller Plates 

Smaller plates mean smaller consumption. Use this technique especially when you are eating high-calorie fats. Smaller plates make even a smaller portion look big, which can trick your brain and prevent you from over-consuming calories. On bigger plates, choose nutrient-dense, lower-calorie foods.

Include Plenty of Protein

Protein helps you in more than one way. 

It promotes a feeling of fullness, increasing the thermogenesis of foods, boosts metabolism, and reduces hunger. So, include more protein-rich foods like chicken breast, Greek yoghurt, quinoa, lentils, and almonds in your diet. 

Go with Homemade Meals

Preparing more meals at home can help you be more aware of the ingredients and control your nutritional intake. Even research reveals that those who eat more homemade meals gain less weight than those who often dine out. 

Eat More Fibre-Rich Foods

This strategy will help you promote a feeling of fullness, reduce hunger and food intake, and provide long-lasting energy. In fibre, some sources (beans, oat cereals, asparagus) form a gel that comes into contact with water (viscous gel). This gel may help in increasing nutrients, absorption time and slowing down the emptying of the stomach.

Eat without Distractions 

Watching TV, phone, or talking with others while eating can distract you from eating and make you eat more. On the other hand, paying attention to what you eat helps you consume fewer calories and be more aware of what you are eating.
