Go For Tall and Thin
Research shows that people pour less liquid into tall narrow glasses than into their vertically challenged counterparts. It’s a small change that means you will ultimately drink less in one sitting. This tip is only recommended for harmful drinks and not water or natural juices.
Brush
Keeping your good oral hygiene habits is not something you would normally relate to weight loss but if you think about it for a second it makes a lot of sense. Right after you are done with dinner go brush your teeth and use some mouthwash. This will keep you from mindlessly snacking while watching a pre-bed TV show as you'll be more inclined to keep your mouth clean before bed.
Enjoy Your Food
Eating slowly may not fit into a busy workday, but it pays to pace your chewing and take your time with every meal. The quicker we eat, the less time the body has to register fullness and chewing our food well will help our body extract the maximum amount of nutrition from it.
Mantras
Another tip that will make you understand that losing weight is all in your mind is finding some good mantras to keep you motivated and focused. Hang up an inspirational poster in your room, write it on a sticky note at your desk or scribble it on your forehead. Just make sure you remember what you are doing and what you're doing it for.
Add, Don’t Subtract
Don’t remove foods from your diet, replace them and focus on adding healthy foods to your menu. Ditching all the “bad” stuff can be a daunting task, one that’s easier to stick to by focusing on one habit at a time. As you add more and more healthy habits and foods to your life it will be much easier to get rid of the bad ones.
Sleep Smart
As part of any healthy lifestyle it's important to sleep well and at regular times. This will help shave off some pounds because your sleep is linked to changes in appetite and the metabolism in the body.
Get Social
You are not the only person out there trying to lose weight. Turn to online communities or support groups for sharing progress and setbacks, getting useful tips and a good pat on the back to keep you going.
