When the subject is to lose weight, there is no miracle plan that works for all organisms. But some strategies tend to be more successful than others. With that in mind, here are some tips for you to change your habits and get there:
1. Stop focusing on what you shouldn’t do
Forget that old mentality of diet and slimming: you can’t do this or cut that. Instead, focus on all the wonderful foods you can eat, the activities you can do, and the benefits you’ll gain from the combo.
2. Write down your meals or record them in an app
Keeping track of everything you eat and drink can be a difficult task, especially if you, like most women, have a hectic schedule. The tip, then, is to write down (or save in the app) what you are about to eat and how you feel during those moments. This can give you a new perspective on your eating habits and, from there, reconsider your choices.
3. Create a hunger scale before and after eating
Before you bite into that piece of pie, measure the levels of hunger and satiety on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being absolutely satisfied. The trick is to start the meal at hunger level 3 or 4 and stop between hunger levels 6 or 7.
4. Treat breakfast as the most important meal of the day

Who has never heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, throw the first tapioca! Therefore, opt for a protein-rich coffee (from 25 to 30g) to improve satiety and, in addition, avoid gluttony attacks throughout the day.
5. Make breakfast your biggest meal of the day
Eat a lot for breakfast, a medium portion for lunch and a little for dinner. Most calories and carbohydrates (healthy) should be consumed until the afternoon. Therefore, the first meal of the day will leave you satiated and avoid the famous jacadas in the afternoon and evening.
6. Avoid eating in front of screens (TV and cell phone)
This habit directly interferes with your ability to feel full and often leads to overeating. For this reason, treat the moment of the meal as a ritual and pay close attention to the food you put on your plate.
7. Don’t forget the fruits and vegetables
Aim to eat nine fruits and vegetables every day (4 fruits and 5 vegetables, for example). Each meal and snack must include a fruit and/or vegetable. The increased intake of fibers makes you less hungry.
8. Hydrate before sitting down at the table

To drink water before a meal has the same effect as eating a salad for starters: it helps you feel fuller and eat less when it’s time for the main course.
9. Allow yourself a diet escape
If you want lose weight, include two pleasurable foods (which are not part of the diet) per week in your routine. It could be ice cream, a piece of cake, a slice of Pizza or a hamburger. The key to success is keeping these indulgences within one meal, not an entire day.
10. Eat every three hours
Who divides what they eat into five meals a day accelerates metabolism between 5 and 15%. Imagine if you still manage your portions: it’s slimming for sure because you avoid hunger spikes.
11. Add green foods to your menu
Dark green vegetables – like spinach and kale, for example – are low in calories and fat and high in fiber. But many do not like them because of the bitter taste. Is it your case? Include them in your smoothie, salad or soup.
12. Choose hard-to-peel snack items

Those who bet on ingredients like nuts and orange end up consuming fewer calories. The reason? Peeling off the shell causes you to take longer between bites. Result: more time chewing and less amount consumed.
13. Tell a friend
Want to boost your motivation? Get a friend (or family member) to help you get there. How it works: At the end of each day, jot down notes (text messages, phone calls, emails… whichever is most convenient) with three points: what were the positive aspects of the day, the temptations or weaknesses you faced, and what you want improve the next day. So, when you think about giving up, the friend comes into action and prevents you from running away from your goal. Strength, girl!
14. Bet on smaller dishes
Serving meals on small plates can be a good strategy to trick the mind. The habit makes the brain believe that you are eating more.
15. Be patient and realistic
Losing weight is not a quick process. Therefore, you need to look beyond the scale and see the positive changes that are happening to your body: did your old clothes fit again? You are walking longer? Did you stop taking some meds? Positive point for changing habits.
