Do easy ways to lose weight exist? It's common knowledge that diet, lowering caloric intake, and exercise, increasing calories burned, work together as a formula for losing weight. But the hard part is sticking to a low calorie, and often bland, diet. It won't be easy, but with a little work it sure is easier. Here are some tips to make it easier.Keep a daily log of everything that passes your lips. Taking notes will help you eat less. Studies show that people who keep track of what they eat end up eating 15% less. 15% is a lot.On average Americans consume 245 calories a day from drinks. Switch from juice, soda, and other calorie drinks to water. 245 calories a day is nearly 90,000 calories each year. That's 25 pounds. Are soda and juice really that good? Keep in mind too that juice and soda don't trigger a feeling of fullness, despite their calories.Eat five or six smaller meals a day instead of three large meals a day. Studies show that eating in smaller portions more often results in eating 30% fewer calories. You're also less likely to binge because the body won't produce as much insulin which leads to hunger.Get rid of the “fat” clothes. If you don't have clothing that's comfortable when you're heavier, you're more likely to be reminded to keep slim every time you dress. And you're less likely to gain weight if doing so means having to purchase a whole new wardrobe.Switch to smaller plates. It's been proven that people eat more when more food is in front of them, and they eat less when less food is in front of them. Smaller plates mean smaller portions, so put the salad plates into use as the main plate.Similar to the idea of using smaller plates, serve your food on the plate rather than in bowls on the table. When the plate is empty the meal is over, instead of spooning another portion onto your plate.Don't eat white bread, sugar or white rice. Those foods are loaded with carbohydrates which lead to higher blood sugar and weight gain. Do eat whole grain breads and brown rice. Don't worry about the sugar, pretty soon you won't miss it.There are a lot of other tips for easy ways to lose weight. Don't be intimidated if it's only easier instead of really easy. If weight loss were easy, everyone would be a supermodel.
