Trick Yourself ... It Works ...

There are better ways to reach weight loss goals. Ever thought of the Trick style ? Usually we eat more than we should because of the mindless margin, but you can use the same principles to subtly influence your behavior and mindlessly eat less.Our brain is easily fooled by shifts in perspective. It’s also more responsive to external cues like an empty plate, than internal cues like a full stomach. Understanding these influences can show you how to tilt them in your favor.What you eat is important, but even healthy food can stop you from losing weight if you eat too much of it.Here are some simple ways to trick yourself into eating less.

Eat Off a Smaller Plate

People who eat off smaller plates eat less food.Think about it this way, and it makes sense: When you fill a small plate and eat it all, you feel like you've eaten a whole plate of food, even when, in fact, you haven't eaten nearly as much as you might have eaten if you'd had a larger plate.

Use taller glasses

Just like less food looks like more food on a smaller plate, height makes things look larger than width, even when the volumes are the same.You can cut down on your liquid calories by choosing taller glasses rather than shorter, fatter ones.

Don't Eat while Watching TV 

We typically eat more when distracted. This is bad news if you enjoy eating while watching television, reading or playing on the computer. Distracted eating is overeating.

Drink Up before Meals

If you want to trick yourself into eating less, drink a full glass of water before dinner or lunch. The water fills your stomach. As a result, you’ll get full quicker from your meal and ultimately eat less. Technically, you can drink any liquid to fill your stomach. However, water is better than sodas, juices and sweet teas. 

Eat protein for breakfast

People love to hype breakfast eating as a miracle weight loss cure, but only breakfasts high in protein have been proven to suppress appetite and reduce subsequent eating throughout the day. Skip the waffles and head to the omelet station instead.

Eat three meals a day

Eat when you're supposed to and you shouldn't need any extra food o!I bet you thought eating many small meals was better than eating three bigger ones throughout the day, but research says otherwise. Though skipping meals can make controlling your appetite more difficult, eating more than three meals a day has not been shown to have any benefit, and may even be worse for appetite control.

Chew thoroughly

It's been observed that most people don’t chew. If you’re one of those guys who chews the minimum number of times before swallowing or shoveling in another fork full, chances are you’re eating substantially more at every meal.Slow down, chew each bite (counting your chews can help develop the habit) and watch as you fill up faster on fewer calories.

Health Claims 

But wait, isn’t healthy food supposed to be better for you? In theory, yes. But truly healthy food - vegetables, fruits an other unprocessed foods—rarely have labels at all. Instead foods with health claims tend to be processed junk repackaged as better for you alternatives.
