Here are 4 of their top tips to help us all decrease our winter waistline in prep for those warmer months:
Keep a log of everything you eat.
The food choices we make change when we hold ourselves accountable for every calorie we are consuming. Studies show that people who write down or log everything they eat and drink lose twice as much weight as people who don’t. And it doesn’t matter how you log it—scrap paper or a mobile app. What is important is that you maintain the record.
Don’t get too hungry.
We often end up overeating. The average recommended calorie intake is only around 2,000 calories per day. Light snacks throughout the day will prevent you from going overboard at mealtime.
