Fat Loss Tips at the Coffee Shop

January 30, 2009 by mrogers · Leave a Comment 

When you stop at the coffee shop for a pick-me-up, consider these fat loss tips to get your caffeine, but avoid extra calories and fat:

1. Choose cappuccino over a latte. The foam in a cappuccino makes it lighter and has fewer calories per fluid ounce than a latte. You can save 40 calories by choosing a cappuccino.
2. Instead of ordering a larger size to get more caffeine, request a double shot of espresso in the smaller size. You’ll get the same amount of caffeine as the larger drink, but with few calories.
3. Finally this fat loss tip – request skim milk rather than 2 percent or whole milk. You’ll get more bubbles since the milk foam won’t be weighted down with the extra fat.

Enjoy your favorite cup of coffee and follow these fat loss tips so that you can also enjoy losing weight.

Fat Loss Tips at the Buffet

January 13, 2009 by mrogers · Leave a Comment 

The next time you’re faced with a buffet, follow these fat loss tips to help you make healthier choices.

  • Take time to look at everything offered at the buffet before filling your plate. You’ll make better choices if you know what is available.
  • Sit in a spot that looks away from the buffet.  You’ll be less tempted to go back for seconds if you aren’t looking at the food while you’re eating.
  • Sit in a booth rather than a table. Booths are more difficult to get out of, so you’re less likely to get up and get more food.
  • Take the time to chew your food carefully. You may have heard this fat loss tip before, but studies have found that normal weight diners usually chew each bite 15 times, vs. obese diners who usually chew each bite 12 times.
  • Don’t clean your plate. When you’re full, stop eating. Don’t feel pressured to eat everything on your plate.

Follow these fat loss tips the next time you’re faced with a buffet and you will find it easier to stick to your weight loss goals!

3 More Fat Loss Tips

November 26, 2008 by mrogers · Leave a Comment 

Every little bit helps when you’re trying to lose weight, so consider these fat loss tips:

  1. Avoid alcohol.  A glass of wine may taste great with dinner, but it’s likely to help you over-indulge as well as add extra calories to your meal.  You’re better off choosing to drink water with your meals.
  2. Fidget.  Pace the floor as you’re talking on the phone, wiggle your legs as you sit in a meeting, tap your pencil as you’re reading a book.  These extra movements add up and help your weight loss.
  3. Reduce stress.  A fat loss tip that many overlook is this one.  Your body tends to crave more food, and hang onto weight during stressful times.  Find an activity that lowers your stress level and you may find yourself losing more weight.

These fat loss tips should help you as you get healthier.  Remember to try new things regularly so that you can find the things that work best for you.

Five Fat Loss Tips

October 21, 2008 by mrogers · Leave a Comment 

When you’re trying to lose weight, any fat loss tips will help.  By changing a few smaller things, you can see big results!  It can also be easier to make minor modifications to your routine, which can help prolong your efforts and see lasting results.  These five fat loss tips should help you get started on your weight loss journey:

  1. Eat some protein every few hours to help your metabolism increase and also increase your fat loss.  Choose lean protein — grilled chicken breast, egg whites, turkey breast.   Don’t forget to eat a small portion right before bed.
  2. Drink more water.  This is one of the best fat loss tips!  Increasing your water intake helps flush toxins and fat from your body, as well as keeping you well hydrated.
  3. Eat small, frequent meals.  Instead of the traditional 3 meals a day, eat 6 meals a day.  Spread out your calories throughout the day to avoid blood sugar crashes and hunger pangs.  You will be less likely to binge on unhealthy foods if you eat more frequently.
  4. Avoid alcohol.  Alcohol provides your body nothing but empty calories, and will not help you in your weight loss efforts.
  5. Build at least six cardio workouts into your week.  Cardio workouts help boost your metabolism.  These workouts must be consistent in order to help you see maximum fat loss.

Following these fat loss tips should help you be well on your way to a lower weight.  Good Luck!
