To be successful with your weight loss, here is an assembled list of proven diet that you can follow.

Keep your body hydrated

So that you will not confuse thirst with hunger and end eating more than you needed, you should drink plenty of water, 8 to 10 glasses a day. You can put variation in your water by adding a splash of juice or citrus or brew-infused teas like peach or mango.

Adding more fiber in your meal

Fruits and vegetables are very good sources of fiber. Eating the recommended daily intake of 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables everyday will leave you more satisfied. Another benefit is that fiber will replace fat in your diet and you can get phytochemicals from the fruits and vegetables that can help you fight various diseases.

Knowing when you are hungry

Keeping tab of your hunger is also important. That is why; you need to look for possible signs that will show that you are really hungry and not just craving for something to eat. Eating food when you are craving will not satisfy it because it is not physical hunger but emotional hunger. You will possibly overeat because you will keep on looking for the food that will satisfy it. When you are really hungry and you eat, you will feel a lot better after because your body has taken the fuel it needs to enable you to think and perform tasks.

The fact is that your stomach is only as big as your fist so it does not require several plateful of food to fill it. By keeping your food portions reasonable will make you full and satisfy your hunger without the excess calories.

Choosing healthy nighttime snacks

Eating in front of the television can break your diet because you will not be able to monitor the amount of food you are shoving to your mouth. Nighttime snacking is a habit that can give you lots of excess calories because you have already eaten the amount of food that your body needs. If you cannot avoid this, opt for a low-calorie snack like a low-fat ice cream or a pack of low-calorie cookies then drink tea which has no calories afterwards to help the digestion of food.
