3. Don't sit or linger around the dinner table once you are full. If you are there for a longer spell, you may feel like eating more, even if you are not particularly hungry. But this also does not mean you rush through eating. Make sure you eat your food slowly and chew well. Eating hurriedly may upset digestion which may induce weight gain.
4. Watch shows or follow social media accounts that talk about healthy and clean eating to feel motivated. A study published recently said that following healthy eating and fitness videos may help sustaining weight loss.
5. It is a good idea to detox your kitchen too. Toss away the fattening condiments, spreads, oils and dressings and make way for healthy, fresh and low-fat ingredients. If your fridge has left over pastas and burgers from previous night, it is definitely going to be difficult for you to stick to your resolve. On the other hand fresh vegetables may motivate you to cook healthy and clean food for yourself
Keep these pointers in mind, they may help you and your weight loss goals in a big way.
