99 Simple, Healthy Weight Loss Tips 🍔

001. Eat more fiber-rich foods

002. Try to go for a long walk every other day

003. Avoid greasy and sugary food; they’re very easy to overeat

004. Avoid eating anything “enriched” or “bleached”

005. Avoid refined flour; it makes you hold onto to stomach fat and bloat up

006. Gum makes you bloated and wreaks havoc your digestive system

007. Find an exercise (or several) that you genuinely enjoy, and stick to doing those

008. If you don’t enjoy a certain exercise, don’t force yourself to do it. You’ll get burnt out and want to stop exercising entirely

009. Diet soda makes you bloated and is worse for you than regular soda

010. Replace your dairy based milk with plant based milk (like almond milk); it has way less calories, and way more calcium

011. Take the stairs instead of the elevator

012. If you have kids, go outside and play them instead of watching them play on the floor

013. Jumping on the trampoline is a fun exercise that burns a lot of calories

014. If you live within 60 minutes of your job (or less), try bicycling to work 3-4 days of the week, every week

015. Please don’t purge your food! You can’t get up all of the calories anyway

016. If you don’t like exercising, just walk. It burns around 300 calories per hour, and is super easy to do a lot of

017. Eat at least 2-3 hours before bed

018. Avoid the midnight munchies

019. Eat 3 balanced meals and 1 snack; eating a bunch of snacks and tiny meals will only spike your insulin and make it harder to lose weight

020. Make sure that you’re sleeping for at least 7 hours every night

021. Don’t stay up later than 11:00pm

022. For every 15 minutes that you watch TV or Netflix, do 10 reps of any exercise (squats, lunges, jumping jacks, etc)

023. Sneak dark leafy greens and vegetables into your fruit smoothies

024. If you don’t drink smoothies….start

025. Jumping rope burns 10 cals per minute. Do it every day for 10 minutes, twice a day, and you’ll burn 1,000 cals a week

026. Dab the oil off of your pizza / burger / fries / greasy food

027. Skip meat as often as you can; it’ll make you bloat up

028. Make 80% of your plate healthy foods, and the other 20% unhealthy foods. Eat your healthy food first, and if you’re still hungry, then you can eat the unhealthy food

029. Replace your grain-based pasta with bean/legume based pasta

030. Your body works harder and burns more calories to use protein, so eat lots of it

031. Chew your food slowly! 80+% of the digestion process happens in the mouth

032. Eat until you’re 80% full, and then stop

033. Replace your high cal ice cream with low cal options like OutShine Popsicles or Halo Top ice cream

034. Taking a shower burns 62 cals every 15 minutes

35. Drinking 1 8oz glass of water burns 8-12 calories. Drinking 1 gallon per day is ideal.

036. Bake your fries in the oven instead of frying them in oil

037. 1 tbsp of oil has 120 cals… Just sayin’

038. Replace your cooking oil with water

039. Eat veggie noodles (like zucchini) instead of pasta

040. Treat yourself once a week to avoid cravings and binges. Don’t eat the whole box and you’ll be fine

041. Singing at the top of your lungs (belting like Ariana Grande) burns 200 cals per hour

042. Believe in yourself! If you don’t believe that you can do it, how will you ever achieve your goals?

043. Tell your friends and family about your new lifestyle change / diet. If more people know, you’ll be more motivated to put in the extra effort required for people to notice your weight loss and progress

044. Bagels are worse for you than donuts. One glazed donut has 255 cals, whilst one bagel has around 320-330 calories

045. Donut holes have 59 calories per individual cake donut hole, and 55 per individual glazed donut hole

046. Keep small dark chocolate squares on your freezer to nibble on when you have cravings

047. If you love to swim, you should know that its a full body exercise that burns around 600-800 calories per hour

048. Replace your sugar with zero calorie, plant derived sweetener (like Stevia, Splenda or Truvia)

049. Take before and after photos for motivation

050. Don’t weigh yourself more than once a week; this way, you won’t become obsessed

051. Always weigh yourself on an empty stomach

052. You burn an extra 150-300 calories (depending on the person) on your menstrual cycle. Don’t eat any more than usual, and you’ll be effortlessly burning more!

053. “Light Life” has a meatless veggie hotdog with 7g of protein and 50 cals per hotdog link (1 serving)

054. Corn and soy tend to make most people bloat up; take notice of your body’s reaction

055. Green tea is an appetite suppressant that also burns calories

056. Green tea burns calories, but Oolong tea burns even more calories

057. I think that we all know that coffee is an appetite suppressant; it works even better if you hate the taste. Nobody wants sweets after drinking bitter bean juice

058. Never add milk to your tea. It eliminates the weight loss benefits / properties, and has the opposite effect of unsweetened tea

059. Avoid drinking fruit juice. It may sound healthy, but it isn’t. It has no fiber at all and is loaded with sugar. If you want juice, either make your own at home using veggies and fruits, or eat a whole piece of fruit

060. Weight loss pills are a scam and a waste of money. They don’t actually work, and no one pill will ever make up for a bad diet

061. Don’t waste your money on “weight loss tea”. Tea naturally helps you burn fat and boosts your metabolism. That’s just a scam to make you waste extra money.

062. When you order food at a restaurant, ask for a to-go box before your meal. When your meal arrives, put half of it in the to-go box and save it for another meal

063. Instead of ordering fries or another unhealthy food as a side dish or appetizer, order mixed fruit or veggies, or a side salad

064. If you don’t want to drink plain water all of the time, infuse your water with fruits, spices, herbs and vegetables

065. Always eat the peelings of your veggies and fruits. They contain the most fiber.

066. Adding lemon or lime juice to your water and tea adds flavor for 0 cals

067. Weight lifting won’t make you bulky (if you’re a girl). It will, however, make you burn more calories than cardio, make you replace fat with lean muscle, and make you burn more calories while resting / doing nothing.

068. Oh, and weight lifting is especially important if you’re severely overweight. Skip the intense cardio until you’re such smaller / a healthier weight. Cardio will leave you with lots of baggy skin, but weight training will help tighten that skin.

069. Eat more oatmeal / porridge. It has 150 calories per ½ cup (uncooked) and contains fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals. It also helps you to feel fuller for longer, which will make you eat less throughout the day

070. Drinking apple coder vinegar in your water helps you to burn more calories

071. Air popped popcorn is a very low calorie snack that’s healthy and full of fiber

072. Eat more beans and legumes for healthier, plant based protein and fiber

073. Cauliflower rice is an excellent healthy, low calorie replacement for rice and potatoes

074. Seaweed is another healthy, plant based, low calorie snacks

075. Avoid eating dried fruits. They are packed with sugar and calories, and are extremely easy to overate. Opt for whole fruits instead.

076. If you really want something crispy to munch, try freeze dried fruit. It has the texture of a chip, and the flavor of a sweet treat!

077. Weight loss is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. Squats and pizza won’t work as well as vegetables and walking.

078. If you eat eggs and poultry, try adding spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms and bell pepper to your scrambled eggs or omelette

079. Gluten isn’t bad for you unless you have an allergy or intolerance, but it can sometimes make you hold onto that last tiny bit of belly fat. If you’re already almost at your goal weight (within 10-20lbs), try cutting out bread / pasta / etc to shed those last few lbs

080. Be aware of how much you’re eating. Its easy to over or underestimate your calories, so try tracking them for 2-4 weeks, just so you can become more aware of the foods that you’re eating when you don’t count, and so that you can become better at estimating

081. Eat on a small, blue plate. Our brains are naturally turned off by the color when we eat, so this will help you to eat less overall food.

082. Speaking of small plates, its also helpful to use a small plate to trick your brain into feeling full. You could eat the same amount of food on a bigger plate, but still feel hungry be because your eyes send a message to your brain that the plate isn’t filled up. Switch to a smaller plate to trick your mind into thinking you’re eating more than you actually are.

083. It takes 20 full minutes for your stomach to realize that its full, so eat SLOWLY

084. Chew your bites thoroughly. 50-60 chews per bite is ideal, but 40 is good, too.

085. If you get tempted by restaurant food, avoid eating out with friends until you can gain better control of yourself

086. YouTube has tons of healthy recipes and easy workouts

087. Negative calorie foods don’t exist. No matter what anybody tells you, food just doesn’t work that way. Not even celery.

088. Eat your fruit / carbs last. Eating them first makes you absorb more calories from your foods. Try starting the meal with healthy fats.

089. Oil is not good for you. Not even olive oil. Oil is essentially liquid calories and fat that have been stripped of all vitamins, minerals, and nutritional value. Eat fats in their whole form, like olives instead of olive oil, coconut instead of coconut oil, etc.

090. Premake / meal prep your food in order to stay on better track with your eating and snacking

091. If you want to take up exercising, try getting a gym buddy to workout with you. This can be really motivating for some people.

092. If you’re like me and you go into “leave me alone” beast mode while working out, try working out by yourself for better results

093. Back to workout advice, keep your headphones in with some of your favorite music playing. Upbeat music or music that makes you feel powerful is ideal. Create your “bada$$ boss b!tch” playlist beforehand, for best results

094. If you’re nervous about going to the gym, workout at home. YouTube some has great workouts for at home space!

095. Nut butter is a great snack, but if you love it as much as I do, you know that it is very easy to overeat. Try measuring your nut/seed butter when you eat it

096. In fact, if you don’t want to track calories, measure all of your portions, just so you have an idea of how much you’re eating

097. Never eat whilst standing up or doing other things. Turn off your phone, your TV, and any other distractions, then sit down and eat your food. Eating while distracted is a huge factor in overeating.

098. Drink 2 big glasses of water at least 10 minutes before you eat. Drinking water before a meal or snack helps you to digest your food better and make you want to eat less

099. Practice self control by saying “no” to junk food half of the time, or you can start by only saying “yes” once a week

Ana tip

I NEVER binge!! I bet you wanna know why. Okay so I eat 3 meals a day. BUT BEFORE YOU SCROLL AWAY!!! I usually eat about 800-500 cals a day while still eating 3 meals a day. And they are still full sized meals! My tips so you can never binge as well:

1. Get rid of all your junk food in the house. NO EXCEPTIONS! GET RID OF ALL OF IT!

2. Get healthy snack alternatives. My favorites are

– skinny pop popcorn (3 ¾ cups=150 cals)

– delightful bread (45 calories a slice)

– rice cakes! You can get the flavored ones that taste like candy! (Anywhere from 35 cals to 50 cals)

– crunchmaster multi-seed chips (13 chips= 140 cals)

3. My salad recipe is a full bowl for 93 calories. Here’s what’s in it:

Lettuce- 8 cals (one cup, Romaine)

Cauliflower- 10 cals (half of 1/3 cup)

Celery- 6 cals (one stick)

Green beans- 13 cals (half of 1/3 cup)

Cucumber- 16 cals (one cup)

Dressing- 40 cals (one tbsp of kens steak house lite raspberry walnut vinaigrette) ((ITS SO GOOD!!))

4. Cauliflower rice! Basically you grate cauliflower, steam it, and put a little bit of butter in it and BAM great substitute for rice! It’s 25 cals a cup I believe

5. I drink 3 cups of green tea a day (one before each meal)

6. If you’re craving something sweet, take the bread a mentioned earlier, make it into toast, and put a little honey on it! Super sweet and filling! (No more than 1 tbsp tho)

7. If you eat three meals a day you won’t be hungry! And with plenty of low cal fruit like blackberries or strawberries you’re cravings won’t get the best of you either!

If you want low-cal recipes that actually have an accurate amount of calories, check out what I eat everyday on @ana-meal-tracker

(Its a new account so there isn’t much on there right now)

Stay safe my loves! Never go below a BMI of 16 and if you feel weak eat something!
