Food theme: some approaches to weight loss

First tip will be about servings -- I think it's a keystone. Large plates and utensils call for big servings -- try to rethink your kitchen accessories. By the way -- using small plates mean that you can split your daily meals in more parts and always feel some hunger after one. Your metabolism will find alternative energy resources in your body and utilize them completely. It's an easy way to get rid of overweight.

In addition you can shift your ration to fibers -- they are harder for metabolism to get energy from, so it will struggle harder. Try beans, whole grains, fruits and vegetables -- eat them as many as you want, but don't before the run, the feeling of fullness is not what you want before training, you want to be light and fly above your path, yes?

Pay attention at your meals. Listen to the voice of hunger -- maybe it's not hunger at all? We often eat when we want to do something else -- play, walk out ore sleep. Eat can hardly be a complete substitution to sleep or play activities so think twice before going to the fridge.

And talking about the fridge -- try "do it yourself" philosophy at getting food -- you not only will eat tastier food, when prepared by you and for yourself? but in addition it can be healthier because you can choose all ingredients.
