Lose Weight

You should be aware of all the triggers that cause you to stray from your weight loss plan and eat when you're not even hungry? Discover how to fight the simple cues that cause you to lose willpower and beeline to the refrigerator. Find some guilt free tips below that will help you lose weight quickly.

- Studying Tedium always sets in while studying and it's natural to think of something pleasurable such as eating. However instead of fighting the urge, plan ahead. You can plan 2 or 3 servings of your favorite low fat snacks. For example, fat free potato chips, fruits, low fat cheese and crackers, light microwave popcorn ( 1/3 bag ) or sliced veggies with low fat dressing and a glass of always about.

- Boredom Boredom is the #1 reason for snacking. Find enjoyable activities during your free time such as surfing the Internet or reading my blog. (hehe) Never have snacks visible, even in the refrigerator. Once seen, your subconscious will trigger a pleasure response. Next thing you know, you're eating!

- Procrastination Procrastination is a big culprit to snacking. This type of snacking cushions the pain of beginning a difficult task. Food is soothing and hard work is painful.

- Anger or Depression Acknowledgment is the best defense from overeating when angry or depressed. Evaluate your emotional state. If it's not good, be prepared for a sudden urge to eat. Eat only at your regular meal time and plan good between meal snacks. Carefully control food portion. Emotional imbalance will cause you to want more food on your plate. Avoid long periods between meals. For quick weight loss, eat more! Eat small, nutritious snacks every few hours between meals; this will keep you full and reduces those trips to the fridge. If you don't, you set yourself up to overeat because when we are really hungry we eat more.
