Here are 21 eating hacks that will lead to greater fat loss:
1. Avoid drinking alcohol. It has negative calories, ruins sleep, and makes you hungrier while lowering your energy and focus the next day.
2. Chew your food until it becomes liquid. This improves digestion and increases your feelings of fullness.
3. Eat from smaller plates as this tricks your brain into thinking it had more food.
4. Stop eating in your car. Stop eating with a phone in your face. Stop eating in front of a TV. Avoid all forms of distracted eating to be more mindful of your feelings of fullness.
5. To lower cholesterol levels add psyllium husk to water or your protein shakes.
6. Don’t eat until you’re stuffed. Make a habit of eating until you’re 80% full to improve digestion, energy levels, and weight loss.
7. Take a walk after a meal to improve digestion and energy levels.
8. Drink water before and after your meals to increase your feelings of fullness.
9. Try to avoid drinking water with meals to avoid eating your food faster.
10. If you have trouble snacking at night, it’s because you didn’t have enough nutrition earlier in the day.
11. Brush and floss your teeth after dinner to prevent nighttime snacking.
12. Volumize your food with vegetables to feel fuller at each meal.
13. Dine on blue plates. Research shows people eat less if there is a high contrast in colors between the plate & the food with blue being the color people ate the least.
14. When cutting weight use potatoes as your carb source. Potatoes are the best at improving fullness levels.
15. Drink soup before meals. Research shows drinking low-calorie-dense soups at the start of a meal can reduce food intake by as much as 20%.
16. When eating out avoid the bread bowl. This adds unnecessary calories while amping up your appetite before eating a meal.
17. Stop eating foods that cause you to overeat. This sounds simple but there are some foods you can’t stop eating when you consume them. Avoid them.
18. Eat similar meals every single day. This makes eating simple, removes decision-making, and helps you hit your macros and calories consistently.
19. Avoid eating things out of the bag as this can cause overeating. Instead, put your portion on a plate and put the bag away.
20. Stop eating your emotions. This will only numb them, which causes them to come back later.
21. Instead of trying to avoid “bad foods” focus on eating healthy ones. This helps create an identity that eats healthy foods.
