8 Weight Loss Tips From a Psychology Textbook

I read these today and though it might help some of you guys the way it helped me.

#1: Begin only if you feel motivated and self disciplined

-For most people, weight loss requires a lifelong change in eating habits combined with exercise

#2: Exercise and get enough sleep

-Exercise, paired with 7-8 hours of sleep, empties fat cells, builds muscle, speeds up metabolism, and helps lower your setting point

#3: Minimize exposure to tempting food cues

-Go grocery shopping when full. Keep tempting or appealing foods away from sight

#4. Limit variety and eat healthy foods

-Given more variety, people consume more. Eat simple meals that have whole grains, fruits and vegetables, as well as healthy fats. "Better crispy greens than Krispy Kremes"

-Reduce portion sizes

#5. Don't starve all day and eat one big meal at night

- Slows metabolism

#6. Beware the binge

-Eating slowly can lead to eating less.

-Different things can cause people to have a urge to eat, this may include people who consciously restrain their eating, who are anxious or depressed or by drinking alcohol

#7. Before eating with others, decide how much you want to eat

-Eating with friends can distract us from what we're eating and thus cause overeating

#8. Remember, most people occasionally lapse

-"A lapse need not become a full collapse"

I am unfamiliar with how formatting works lol
