Six Simple Ways To Keep Your Weight Down This Summer
Take your time
It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to register that you’re no longer hungry, so if you scoff your meal quickly you’ll eat more than necessary. Chew slowly and enjoy.
Get blotting
Using a kitchen towel to blot away excess fat and oil on foods like pizza and chops will save you calories.
Go natural
Fruit yogurts contain anything up to 4tsp of added sugar, but you can dump it by buying non-fat, plain yogurt and adding your own fruit.
Cut out the condiments!
The average person consumes 3,000 calories a month in dressings like mayonnaise so cut out, use homemade lighter versions or use less!
Burn fat
Three or four portions of low-fat dairy products daily (such as skimmed milk) can speed up the rate your body burns fat.
Drink water with dinner…
…or even before! Those who drink alcohol with a meal tend to consume 350 more calories, so stick to the soft stuff when you’re eating.
