Simple Diet Tips That Work For Everyone

By Ali Bautista

Weight loss doesn't have to be complicated! Diet strategies that really work are those that fit into your daily life.

The diet strategies listed here can be used by literally anyone, despite your workout routine or program affiliation. You have to make some lifestyle changes if you want to have a healthier body, but it doesn't have to be complicated.

The first effective strategy is to properly time your carbohydrates. Your body needs carbs because they are your main source of energy over the course of the day. Without them, you will struggle through workouts or even through the demands of your daily life. Don't fear them; just understand and control them.

Here's the secret to carbs: your body needs to use them for immediate energy or they will be stored for later use in your fat cells. That means if you eat a carb-rich meal and then sit on the couch all day they are likely to be stored rather than used. Similarly, if you eat more than your body needs for your current energy level they will go to your fat stores as well.

So, try to eat carbs before the most active parts of your day and don't go overboard. Small amounts of carbs in the morning and before workouts can deliver higher energy levels and a slimmer waistline.

Proper Fluid Intake: You know that sodas are sugary drinks are not good for you, but do you understand why? There is a reason that heavy soda drinkers who give it up completely easily drop 30 pounds or more in a single year.

Drinks with a lot of sugar and high in calories do more than make you fat. They keep your body craving more sugar and more carbohydrates, and they actually make you feel thirstier so you drink even more.

There is power in giving up these drinks and going with water. It may be less exciting to drink, but you will find that you are less thirsty, less hungry, and that you have a lot more energy once you start drinking water instead.

Water doesn't dry out your mouth and will quench thirst, rather than creating more of it. It is also completely calorie free and can be used as a safe appetite suppressant.

Try drinking a glass or bottle of water about 10-15 minutes before you eat a meal. You will feel less hungry and therefore eat less at that meal.

If you can drink more water all throughout the day in between meals, you will find yourself feeling more satisfied in general, especially when on a calorie restricted diet plan.

Timing your carbs and drinking more water may seem rather simple, but often it is the simple things that pay off the most with weight loss. One small change leads directly into another and before you know it, you've changed your entire lifestyle. - 17273
