I go to Italy for my birthday in 8 weeks time. I have some belly fat to lose and I am really self-conscious about it. I'm not bothered about scale-weight but I want to look and feel visibly slimmer. I'm exercising for roughly an hour 3 times a week but my diet is the issue. Anyone have any tips? Ways to stop hunger pangs? Cravings? Healthy snacks, how to reduce calorie intake?
Thanks!
Keep a tub of fresh veg - carrots, cucumber, yellow/green peppers - to nibble on when you feel hungry. Eat smaller portions and eat with chopsticks where possible as they force you to take smaller bites and make you feel full faster. Do not eat seriously less than normal, your body still needs around 2000 calories to function normally, eat foods that have reduced fat and sugar content, eat vegetarian basically.
Drink ALOT of water. Eat ALOT of salad. I lost 10 pounds eating just large salads without the dressing, just olive oil, chopped carrots and chopped mushrooms. Dont much else besides salad, low calorie popsicles help ed my cravings. They were sugar free and 15 cal. Smoothies get rid of craving, natural fruit smoothies with no added sugar. Small spoon fulls of peanut butter help cravings too, pb is high in cal so be careful. Some things you could try would be , breakfast: instead of cereal , chop fruit such a cantelope or apples and soymilk/coconut milk. Lunch: salad with olive oil , Mrs. Dash (substitute for any dressings) and any other vegetables (ad much salad ad you want) ,dinner: any green vegetables or salad. Popsicles and water between meals. Your excersizing and i just rum once e week so you should see better results. My results happened in almost two-three weeks so it should work. Vitamins keep you from binging , getting week and so on. Good luck.
