1. Avoid skipping breakfast. Eat meals in regular intervals.
You might think that skipping meals is an ideal way to lose weight. However, we think that this will just make you miss out on essential nutrients you need to function.
You also might just snack a lot throughout the day because you’re hungry. You might even end up eating food that is high in sugar and calories, which might make you gain more weight.
2. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
You should watch not just the amount of food you eat but also what you eat. Stock up on fruits and vegetables because they’re low in calories and fat.
They’re also very rich in fiber. This is important for successful weight loss.
Not to mention it has a lot of vitamins and minerals that are good for you.
So go on that farmer’s market run or even have groceries and fruits delivered. Your body will thank you later.
3. Use smaller plates and bowls.
Using smaller plates can encourage you to eat smaller portions. This might help you get used to eating smaller portions without getting hungry quickly.
They say that it takes about 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain it’s full. So try to eat slowly.

If you’re not a gym buff, yoga and Pilates might be a great alternative. This will make you more flexible and even help with your mental health.
Some even like going to studios for dance lessons to help dance the calories off in a fun way. Other options include walking, running, and swimming.
In Calgary, there are great community centers you can visit that have countless activities you can enjoy that will help you burn calories and not even notice.
