20 ways to lose the disgusting thing called FATS

1. Drinking tea daily will hydrate you and makes you feel full.

2. Eat until you are 80% full and eat slowly, because it takes the brain about 20 min to register that you are filled.

3. Replace your half and half creamer with skim or 2% milk, such as HL or Daisy high-Low.

4. Eat An Apple Before Dinner so as to fill your stomach with fibre to keep you full so that you eat less for dinner. The calories from an apple is only about 80Kcal, so it will be a good tradeoff for the fullness it can sustain you.

5. Get creative with your favorite cheat food. For me, I love anything that goes with cheese, so i use low fat cheese with anything to go along with. If you like chips, look for the low in fat ones!

6. Cut Out The Colas, and replace it with the diet ones ( only when you are craving for coke)! why sustain that unecessary 100Kcal for that can of cake when you can get one at 0Kcal?

7. It has been proven that music boosts your mood. Therefore use it to your advantage. Add your favorite songs to your workouts to make them more effective and longer, burning more calories and having fun while you do it!

8. Don't be lazy, walk more! all the short distances adds up! It's free and keeps you agile, fit, and you can do it anywhere!

9. Replace The Candy Bowl With A Fruit Bowl. Vitamin and fiber packed fruits will fill you up without the guilt of empty calorie candy.

10. Substitutes - instead of a whole fat cheese, use low fat cheese, you will save about 3g of fats per slices. Instead of ground beef for your hamburger, use ground turkey instead. And you can do the same with hotdogs by substituting the real high fat ones with low fat low sodium turkey hot dogs.

11. The More Colourful You Eat The Healthier You Are: Well with fruits and vegetables that is! Aim to eat as many different colors that you can to make it fun and interesting while keeping all the taste without the calories.

12. Eat Healthy Fats To Lose Fat: In my previous entry i have touched on this before. Focus on walnuts, avocadoes, olive oils, and fish containing Omega-3 fats. These healthy fats will make your body work harder to metabolize the fats, but in moderation. You will shed those unwanted pounds while feeling full and not deprived.

13. Instead of butter, salt, oil, and frying foods to make them taste good, stock up on salt free seasonings and lemon to make your food taste great without all the unnecessary calories.

14. With your salad that is. Instead of the pale iceberg lettuce that has little nutritional value, switch to dark, colorful greens which are vitamin rich.

15. Chew Your Calories, Don't Drink Them: Instead of guzzling about 300-400 calories in about 3 gulps (Starbucks anyone?), enjoy chewing and tasting your calories, it keeps your chewing crave away and keeps you fuller! And just sticking with water and forgoing those expensive calorie high drinks you will for sure lose weight.

16. Just switching the way you cook or order food can save you hundreds of calories! Opt for a grilled chicken salad instead of fried and watch the pounds melt off! Steam Steam Steam everything!

17. Get Jumping - It has been proven that jumping rope is one of the most effective and efficient calorie burners that you can do anywhere! They are light to pack, fun to use, and jumping rope gives you results.

18. Stop Snacking At Night - Aim not to eat after 8:00pm or 2 hours before your bedtime. If you do get uncontrollably hungry, have a small serving of a high fiber cereal with skim milk. This will fill you up without derailing your diet efforts, and also keep your metabolism running while you are sleeping.

19. Sleep Off The Pounds: Feeling tired? Then instead of grabbing a sugary snack to get you going, take a quick 10-20 minute power nap. You will feel more energized without loading up on calories.

20. Don't Commit Diet Adultery: Instead of an entire "Cheat Day" which you could eat up to over 4,000 calories, enjoy a small treat that won't derail all your efforts.
