1 Take It, Black
If you're a java devotee, here's an easy way to slim down your order: Just ditch the creamer! Splashing two tablespoons of heavy cream into your cup adds 100 calories. Assuming you down two cups of Joe a day, passing up dairy can help you drop 10 pounds in just under six months!
2 Swap Cheese for Veggies in Your Omelet
If you're accustomed to shredding muenster cheese into your eggs, try swapping it for your favorite veggie. One ounce of cheese packs in about 110 calories while a half cup of steamed broccoli boasts 15 calories. Making this morning switch will nourish your body with extra satiating fiber and nutrients, as well as save your waistline from added inches.
3 Choose Plain Yogurt
While protein-packed Greek yogurt makes for a perfect meal when paired with chia seeds, antioxidant-rich berries, and crunchy nuts, you could be sabotaging your weight loss goals if you choose the wrong tub. A plain cup of Chobani contains about 50 fewer calories than the fruity options, saving your belly from extra flab.
4 Make Grapefruit Your Go-To
In a study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, researchers found that noshing on half a grapefruit before each meal helped participants lose a significant amount of weight in addition to improving insulin resistance.
5 Buy a Reusable Water Bottle
Before you begin the habit of refilling your water bottle several times a day, make sure yours isn't laced with BPA. A Harvard study found that adults with the highest concentration of BPA in their urine had significantly larger waists and a 75 percent greater chance of being obese than those in the lowest quartile. No wonder why drinking out of plastic bottles is one of our 40 Bad Habits That Make You Fat! To avoid weight gain, make sure your bottle is BPA-free and be particularly wary of plastics that sport a #7 recycling symbol on them, which is an indicator that BPA may be present.
6 Buy Organic
Even if you're stocking up on fruits and veggies, buying inorganic may be doing your body a disservice, thanks to the pesticides. "They have been shown to poison the mitochondria so it cannot burn fuel," says Walter Crinnion, N.D., chairman of the environmental medicine department at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Phoenix in Weight Loss Tricks You Haven't Tried. "Fuel that is not burned turns to fat." If you're worried about breaking your budget at Whole Foods, start by stocking up on these 17 Cheap Organic Foods You Must Buy.
7 Cut Carbs at the Right Time
Cutting carbs altogether can often cause a guilt-ridden binge that will leave you unmotivated and packing on the pounds. Instead of prohibiting yourself from eating the foods you love, set a carb curfew. "For dinner, contestants always have a high-protein, high-fat meal with plenty of fibrous veggies," Chris Powell of ABC's reality series Extreme Weight Loss tells us in Chris Powell's Behind-The-Scenes Extreme Weight Loss Tips. "If they have a post-dinner snack, they stick to protein-rich, high-fat foods like almonds or 2 percent milkfat string cheese." Nixing carbs at night flips the fat-burning switch by increasing the amount of fat-burning hormones released while we're asleep, Powell adds.
8 Limit Variety
When many of us have too many options to choose from, we often become flustered and make the wrong decision. The same goes for food. If you have a few different boxes of cereal and a handful of flavors of potato chips, you're likely to eat more of the packaged stuff. Limiting your options to just one can cut down on your grazing habits and prevent a snack attack.
9 Pick Red Fruits
Red fruits such as watermelon, Pink Lady apples, and plums have higher levels of nutrients called flavonoids—particularly anthocyanins, compounds that give red fruits their color, which have been shown to reduce fat-storage genes.
10 Choose Whole-Grain Cereal Over Granola
"This seemingly-innocent food is almost always loaded with added sugar. In fact, most companies use synonyms or alternative words for plain old 'sugar' to disguise it. " Lisa Hayim, registered dietitian and founder of The Well Necessities tells us in 37 Worst Breakfast Habits for Your Waistline. And she's right: Choosing a cup of Kashi Indigo Morning Organic Corn Cereal over ¾ cup of Kashi Organic Promise Cranberry, Spelt, and Flax Granola, will slash 160 calories off your breakfast!
11 Wear Jeans
University of Wisconsin researchers discovered that participants who wore jeans to work walked almost 500 more steps throughout the day than those who dressed up. As if we needed another reason to look forward to casual Fridays!
12 Daydream
Who knew that fantasizing about eating your favorite candy can actually result in real-life weight loss? A study found that daydreaming about eating an entire packet of sweet stuff before indulging may cause you to eat less of it. To come to this finding, researchers asked participants to imagine eating three M&Ms versus 30. Then, they conducted a taste test where participants were able to nosh on the chocolate orbs. The results? Those who imagined eating lots of M&Ms ended up gobbling down the least!
13 Order an Appetizer
While appetizers seem to add more calories to your meal, a series of Penn State studies found that biting into an apple or sipping a broth-based soup before eating out can reduce your dinner's total calorie intake by a walloping 20 percent. So before you slice into that charbroiled steak, don't forget to pregame the protein with some soup.
14 Try Tahini
"Tahini is an oft-forgotten option for nut and seed butter, but it sits front and center in my fridge because it delivers major creaminess to sauces and smoothies and packs a powerful flavor punch," says Willow Jarosh MS, RD co-owner of C&J Nutrition. "Although some advice against eating the spread because of its high omega 3:6 ratio, the super high intake of omega-6s in the average American's diet isn't due to things like tahini—it's mostly from not eating a variety of fats or consuming the majority of fats from fried foods and packaged snacks. As long as you're also eating foods rich in omega-3s, your end-of-day ratio should be nothing to worry about. Plus, tahini is loaded with tons of healthy nutrients like copper, which helps maintain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant responses in the body. It also provides six percent of the day's calcium in just one tablespoon."
15 Sprinkle Chia Seeds
"Chia seeds aren't just a pet, they're a party in your mouth. I'm a huge fan of them because they're chock-full of heart-healthy omega-3s, fiber, protein, and calcium," Sarah Koszyk, MA, RD, founder of Family. Food. Fiesta. tells us in 26 Most Overlooked Ways to Lose Weight. "Chia seeds are easily absorbed by the body, so they're very nourishing and satiating. Every day I add them to my breakfast smoothie or pair them with yogurt or cottage cheese along with some blueberries."
16 Cook Up Some Kamut
Kamut, also known as Khorasan wheat, is an ancient grain native to the Middle East that packs in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and protein while remaining low in calories. In fact, a half-cup serving of the stuff has 30 percent more protein than regular wheat and only 140 calories. A study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that noshing on Kamut reduces cholesterol, blood sugar, and cytokines (which cause inflammation throughout the body).
17 Brew Green Tea
A study published in The Journal of Nutrition found that after just two weeks, those who sipped four to five cups of the green brew daily in addition to working out for 25 minutes lost more belly fat than those who didn't sip. We can chalk up these favorable results to the tea's catechins, a type of antioxidant that hinders the storage of belly fat and aids rapid weight loss.
18 And Black Tea
"Oolong, or 'black dragon,' is a kind of Chinese tea that's packed with catechins, nutrients that help promote weight loss by boosting your body's ability to metabolize fat. A study in the Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine found that participants who regularly sipped oolong tea lost a pound a week, without doing anything else to change their diet or exercise habits," Kelly Choi, author of The 7-Day Flat-Belly Tea Cleanse tells us in How To Lose 10 Pounds Fast.
19 Eat Almonds Before a Workout
Before heading to the gym, don't forget to reach for a handful of almonds. A study printed in The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that these subtly sweet nuts are rich in the amino acid L-arginine, which can help you burn more fat and carbs during workouts.
20 Blend Hummus
Many commercial hummus tubs are jam-packed with waist-widening additives. To avoid the unnecessary ingredients, whip up your own hummus at home and use it as a dip for crunchy veggies such as carrots and celery. The spread's main ingredient—chickpeas—contain satiating fiber and protein to keep hunger pangs at bay.
