1 Watch the Salt
One thing restaurants (and individuals) typically overdo it on when cooking is salt, and that can easily cause unhealthy bloating and weight gain.
In fact, one British study found that for every additional 1,000 milligrams of sodium you eat a day, your risk of obesity spikes by 25 percent, so ditch the salt and stick to metabolism-boosting spices such as cayenne and mustard instead.
2 Say No to the Value Meal
When grabbing grub at a fast-food restaurant, the "combo" or "value meals" are typically less expensive and make you feel like you're getting a better deal, but oftentimes they're also nutritional nightmares. A study in the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing shows that compared to ordering à la carte, you pick up a hundred or more extra calories by opting for the aforementioned cheap "value meals." That's because, when you order items bundled together, you're likely to buy more food than you need or want, and end up overeating as a result. To keep your weight in check, order your food piecemeal instead.
3 Don't Drive to Work
Driving to work may be easy, but it's also part of what's inhibiting you from losing weight. According to a study in the British Medical Journal, those who drive to work gain more weight than those who take public transportation. Per the research, commuting by car slaps an extra 5.5 pounds on your body, whether you exercise or not. And a Japanese study found that people who take public transportation to work were 44 percent less likely to be overweight, 27 percent less likely to have high blood pressure, and 34 percent less likely to have diabetes. If possible, consider leaving the car in the driveway and walking, biking, or commuting to work via public transportation a few times per week.
4 Forget those Unhealthy Food Videos
Thanks to an increased interest in food and food trends, recipe videos are likely dominating your social media feeds. And their constant presence could be hindering your weight loss goals, especially since many of the brief clips spotlight unhealthy dishes and sweets. "The internet and social media sites are basically making you fat," Lisa Hayim, MS, RD, and founder of The WellNecessities, told us in The 30 Worst Flat Belly Mistakes Women Make. "If it isn't 25 ways to eat tater tots then it's [another] national [something] day. The internet has made it basically impossible to stay away from cravings and indulgences. These are not excuses to eat unhealthy food." Next time you see one of these videos, scroll quickly past.
5 Store Leftovers ASAP
When you're done cooking, portion out just enough for your meal and pack the rest away. Putting your food away asap will not only keep it fresh for future meals but it will also deter you from mindlessly nibbling and eating more than the desired portion size. Same goes for when you're dining out: Ask for a to-go box along with your meal, that way you can pack away the leftovers and aren't tempted to overeat. When noshing on the leftovers at your next meal, you can also experiment with adding some additional fiber or protein to give the dish a nutritional boost.
