Why weight Loss Tips From Real Women

Everyone has their own weight loss tips. Here are a few dietary tips from real women who say they really work. I drink a full 12 ounces of water before I sit down to eat. It satisfies me and I do not overeat. - Monica, 22 My secret weapon is sugar-free gum. Whenever I have a craving for a snack or a snack, I put it in my mouth and start chewing. It always works like a charm. -Maddi, 43 Knitting works wonders. I used to eat like pork while watching T.V. at night. Ever since I started knitting, I have lost about 50 pounds [10 kg], and I know this is because my hands are too busy to pull things out of my mouth. -Liz, 25 It tastes bad, but it really works. My grandmother told me to take one teaspoon of cider vinegar before each meal to eat fat. - Diane, 21 peer support! There is no such thing as a guilty conscience by letting your friends do the chores. I do tennis days or I go for a walk - there is no going back when someone trusts me. -Cara, 22 Okay, this will sound really silly but - when I have to lose weight, I only eat food that I can eat with chopsticks. I'm not very good at it so I don't eat too much. -Lisa, 32 When I'm sitting in a crowd or at my desk, I do strenuous exercises. Just pull on your stomach, hold the number 20, and release. Do that 20 times and you can really feel it. - Sheila, 52 Water. I drink a lot of water when I eat. It helps to drain the system and keep me feeling young. It also helps with bad breath that I get when I eat high protein foods. - Dena, 34 I always rush out the door and forget my breakfast, and end up eating at my desk in the morning. I now keep a box of Carnation Instant Breakfast in the lounge, and get one ready as soon as I get to work. No more delicious food at 11 a.m. -Deb, 45 When I eat food, I keep fresh fruits and vegetables all cut and ready to go into small containers for snacks. If I go to all the work to do it, I will eat them instead of holding a bag of chips on the trip. -Amy, 16 I undress and stare at myself in the mirror at least once a week. It is easy to see the progress I have made, and how much I still need to do. Vinnie, 34 I buy myself something smooth and hang it where I see it every day. The trick is that it can only be one size too small - if it is smaller than that, I just stop. But when the "just" goal is at hand, it is a real motive. -Shanae, 24 Do you have a favorite food tip? Make your own list, or ask your friends to fill in a few. The more strategies you use to help you stay on your diet, the more likely you are to succeed.
