You’re slowly but surely chugging along on your track of weight loss.
You’ve figured out by now that it’s not one major thing that works — what works is you implementing a lot of small changes.
Here are some new unusual but equally healthy and effective techniques for you to try to get you on the fast track to Slimville.
And they’ll definitely get you to your weight-loss goals fast. Imagine being able to shed 30 pounds in the next 30 days. Are you ready?
1. Add Flax Seed
Fiber makes you feel fuller longer, and flaxmeal is one of those foods that you can hardly taste but which offers a bulking effect to your food.
Sprinkle it in your smoothie, yogurt, cereal, oatmeal, salad dressing, soups, cooked whole grains, and baked goods.
2. Eat Rainbow Colored Foods
There is something to be said for a plate being visually pleasing that adds to your feeling of satisfaction.
Plus eating a rainbow of vibrant colors also encourages you to eat more variety, which can also make you feel happier and more content.
3. Put Aside a Dollar For Every Pound Lost
Put an empty mason jar on your counter where you see it a few times every day.
Every time you exercise, throw money in the jar — $1 for regular workouts, $5 for longer ones like workshops, hikes, or races.
After the workout piggybank is full, go out and use it to reward your efforts (in a healthy way, of course).
4. Add Protein Powder
Used typically for protein smoothies, you can add protein powder to just about anything, from nut butters to oatmeal, pancakes and waffles, and baked goods.
Getting extra protein will make anything you eat more satisfying, which means you’ll feel less hungry.
And research shows doubling your protein intake can help you lose weight faster.
5. Eat More
Admittedly, that sounds nuts if you’re trying to lose weight, but research shows eating more often — smaller meals and snacks five to six times a day instead of three large meals — can help you lose weight faster. It has to do with boosting your metabolism, which translates to more calories burned per day.
6. Add Grapefruit to Your Water
Cut up a few wedges of grapefruit and squeeze the juice into your water (hot or cold) or place a couple thin slices into your glass.
While grapefruit water itself isn’t a magic weight-loss elixir, the fruit is a low-cal way to add vibrant flavor to H2O.
Grapefruit is also considered a fat-burning food that can kick-start your metabolism and curb cravings.
7. Cook A Week’s Meal in Advance
Whether it’s mason jar salads for lunch, a huge crockpot of soup for dinner, a big batch of whole grains, or a make-ahead breakfast bake, taking a little extra time at the beginning of the week will pay off.
Having meals and snacks ready when hunger strikes can prevent eating junk later.
8. Drink Apple Cider Vinegar
If you enjoy a tart, acidic shot of apple cider vinegar before meals, studies have shown it may help keep you from feeling hungry by slowing stomach emptying.
It also lowers the glycemic index of high-carb foods, helping you feel fuller longer by slowing the release of glucose into your bloodstream.
9. Keep Healthy Snacks On Hand
You know your cravings, whether they’re for cookies, chocolate, or chips.
10. One last thing… you should try this 2-minute “after-dinner ritual” that
burns up to 2 pounds of belly fat per day…
“All
this by a 2-minute “after-dinner ritual?” I asked.
I
met an old friend for lunch last month and I was super impressed with how good
she looked.
She
said, “It’s not so much about the “after-dinner ritual”, but more about how it
gives you a regenerative form of deep sleep that is responsible for everything
we need to dramatically increase our fat burning metabolism and improve our
health and appearance.”
Even
though I was skeptical, I’ve been struggling with my weight over the last few
years, so I gave it a shot and watched the same video she did.
Well,
it’s only a couple weeks later and you know what they say about how “you can’t
transform your body overnight”…
They’re
right – it actually took me 16 days to lose 22 pounds.
Now
it’s my girlfriends asking ME what I’M doing differently 💅
