Over the years, you may have frequently heard of hearsay weight loss advice, such as squeezing celery juice, preparing unknown mixtures, and rushing to prepare weight loss recipes to lose weight. The sad part is that these tips are promoted and spread by people without any health expertise as if they are the definitive solution.
If you want to lose weight, try these five simple tips backed by Mayo Clinic experts.
1-Never Eat While Watching Television
Studies have shown that watching television for at least two hours a day is associated with increased weight gain. The main reason: When you are inactive, there is a high probability of swallowing or chewing unconsciously.
2- Eat Real Food Most of the Time
Limit processed foods and fill your diet with as much fresh, real food as possible.
Stop Eating Out
The difficulty of controlling portions and planning meals when you eat out will make or break your weight loss efforts.
Do More, More Frequent Activity
Make it your mission to do your best to move every day, it's really, really important!
5. Set More Realistic Goals.
Most people focus on an end result when setting a weight loss goal: "I want to lose 30 pounds." However, the real "performance goals" are action-oriented ones, for example, goals such as "I will walk 30 minutes every day" or "I will eat four portions of vegetables" encourage the person to take steps towards the goal.
Plan what actions will take you to the ideal for your weight loss goal and write them down in a notebook. For example, performance goals such as "Eat breakfast every morning" or "Take the stairs instead of the elevator" will help you succeed on the diet.
Finally; There is also evidence from a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine in November 2019 that getting support from a dietitian during this process can help you lose weight with greater compliance with the plan.
