Step 1
Keep a diet journal. Write down everything that you eat and drink. This will help you to see places that you can make changes to help you lose weight.
-
Step 2
Have your largest meal for breakfast. Lunch should be a medium sized meal and dinner should be your smallest meal. By doing this, you have all day to exercise to burn the majority of the calories that you eat.
-
Step 3
Pick healthy foods. It is important to read nutrition labels to find out the calorie and fat content of the foods you pick. You should aim to eat low fat and low calorie foods so that you can lose weight. Keep in mind that your body needs some calories and fat to function properly. Talk to your health care professional to find out the proper amount for you.
-
Step 4
Eat only when you are hungry. Dehydration is sometimes mistaken for hunger. When you feel the urge to eat between meals, try drinking a glass of water. If you still feel hungry ten minutes after your drink, go ahead and have a healthy snack such as an apple.
-
Step 5
Consume foods in the right order. Your plate should be at least 2/3 vegetables. If you eat the vegetables first, you will be less likely to overeat the other foods.
-
Step 6
Exercise to burn off calories and increase your metabolism. Simple exercises such as walking or swimming can rev up your metabolism. When you increase your metabolism, your body can burn calories more effectively.
-
Step 7
Focus on measurements instead of weight. If you are losing inches but staying at the same weight, you are probably gaining muscle mass. Muscle weighs more than fat and burns more calories.
