When you eat, you are required to pay attention to the meal and allow yourself enough time to chew every bite. Proper chewing not only helps with digestion but makes you conscious of how much you have eaten and enables you to sense the satiety signals from your brain better.

Much research has been conducted on this and it’s fairly clear that faster eaters have a higher likeliness of becoming obese than those who take time finishing their food.

 

 

Flavor your meals with spices

Who doesn’t like a bit of flavor in their meals? Go ahead and experiment by adding spices to your salads or other preparations. Along with enhancing the taste, you will also be increasing their nutrients content.

Don’t forget to top your whole-grain pizza with some sliced paprika and jalapenos. These have a compound known as capsaicin. Capsaicin boosts your metabolic rate and your body’s ability to burn fat. It also reduces appetite and, thereby, calorie intake.

 

 

Use coconut oil instead of fat

Coconut oil is rich in a type of fat known as medium-chain triglycerides which the body metabolizes differently than it does other fats.

Many studies have proven that coconut oil improves metabolism while also reducing your daily calorie intake. It can be even more helpful if your problem area is mostly belly fat.

Do take a note that you are not being advised to add coconut oil to your diet. You have to replace your other unhealthy forms of fat such as butter with this one which is comparatively healthier.

 

 

Eggs are a must

Nothing supports weight loss as much as eggs do. They have very low calories, are dense in protein and other essential nutrients, and are friendly on the pocket too. Plus, they take hardly a few minutes to cook and taste better than most of the other equally healthy foods.

Protein-rich foods are linked to increased feelings of fullness and reduced appetite. On the other hand, foods low in it are digested quickly encouraging overeating.

Substitute the bagels or croissants you have been having for breakfast with some soft-boiled eggs and see how easy it becomes for you to keep your daily calorie limit in check.

 

 

Eat from a smaller plate

Yes. You read that right. The size of the plate does affect the portions you eat. Several studies have found that when people eat from a smaller plate, they tend to eat significantly less. This is so because we fill our plates only as much as we normally do irrespective of their size.

It is just a matter of perception, but it helps immensely in overcoming overeating or other eating disorders.
