Hearye. Hearye. Prepare yourself for the most earth-shattering weight loss diet advice. Well maybe not earth-shattering, but at the very least dazzling. Well maybe not exactly dazzling, but we can call them astonishing. On second thought maybe we should just go with fantastic. You know what, they may not be earth-shattering, dazzling, astonishing or even fantastic, but they will get the job done, so here they are.

Drink cold water. This may seem like a minor thing, but it adds up like doubling a penny for thirty days. Since your body has to warm up the water to make it useful, calories have to be burned, and every calorie burned brings you closer to your goal. For convenience, carry your container in an insulated pouch. If you have a container with a narrow spout, you can also pick up an ice-tray specially designed to freeze water in long strips as oppose to cubes.

Add more fiber to your diet. Fiber is a dieter’s best friend. Why? When you consume fiber, no calories are added to your meal. This is because fiber is an indigestible carbohydrate. By increasing fiber in your diet, you will get that full feeling without the cost of added calories.

Eat smaller portions. Believe it or not, a portion size is not a Big Gulp soda. For drinks, it’s eight ounces; for meat it’s three ounces; for fruits and vegetable, it varies from about a half to a full cup. When you cut down on portion sizes, you automatically eliminate unnecessary calories.

Never shop hungry. Shopping when you’re hungry opens you up to those impulse buys. Things you typically could pass by, now become irresistible. That being said, you should never go grocery shopping when you’re hungry. At the very least, you should have a nice healthy snack before you go. Also, to further avoid any urge that may arise, avoid aisles with foods that will knock your diet out of sync.

Make your house into a healthy zone. Having easy access to junk food is an easy way to put a dent in your diet. To resist these temptations, empty your house of all brownies, chips, sodas, cookies and that candy bar hidden in the back of your cupboard. If you get a craving for something sweet, eat some grapes or keep some unsweetened apple sauce handy.

Refrain from heavy eating before you go to bed. When you eat a heavy meal before you hit the sack, the food doesn’t have time to fully digest. Remember, when you eat during the day, you are still walking and doing other activities. This doesn’t happen at night. Try to eat at least 2 to 3 hours before you hit the sack. Plus, go for a walk if you have the time. Just don’t try doing anything to strenuous. Some people have trouble going to sleep after a hard workout.

As I said before this weight loss diet advice may not be “earth-shattering”, but if you incorporate them as part of your diet, they’re sure to turn out useful.
