TIPS & TRICKS

Basic/General Rules

RULES, RULES, RULES. This is important. You need to set rules for yourself, and if you are truly 4n@, you will have no problem sticking to them because you are STRONG! Rules are everything. Examples: Don’t e4t anything white. Do not, under any circumstances, eat after 6:00. Don’t eat before 3:00. Cut each bite into x amount of pieces, chew x amount of times. Do not eat anything that has over 3 grams of f4t. Make your own and keep adding to them.

4n@ must be the center of your life.

Drink a full glass of water before you eat and then sip a full glass between bites, you’ll get full much faster. Remember it takes 20 minutes for the brain to realize the stomach is full.

Eat denser food because it feels like more. Light and fluffy foods compact in your digestive tract and you will feel hungry soon after.

Take out only the amount of food you plan to eat and don’t allow seconds.

Think before you eat. Don’t eat while distracted (TV, etc). Stop and consider if you really want to eat that then consciously give yourself permission.

100-cal0r1e meals is better than one 400-cal0r1e meal.

Never eat anything bigger than about a cup, your stomach will expand and you’ll get hungry more. If you need to, eat more frequently, not bigger amounts.

Slim-Fast and other “healthy” bars and shakes have more c4rbs and c4lori3s than in the meal they’re intended to replace. Stay away.

Drink at least a glass of water every hour. It’s better for w3ight l0ss to sip throughout the day than to chug a full glass (except before eating, in which case it can make you eat less, or make you slightly nauseous so you don’t want to eat at all). Try keeping a water bottle somewhere you’ll see it a lot, like every 10-20 minutes, and take a drink from it every time you see it/notice it.

Drink up to a shot of apple cider vinegar before eating, it’s supposed to minimize f4t absorption. Also speeds met4bolism and can help curb cr4vings. Drinking more than a shot causes a vague nausea which helps suppress appetite.

Ice or gum are good food substitutes. Celery works too if you’re really hungry.

Use small, dark colored plates. Dark blue or black makes you eat less, and smaller plates and utensils cause you to take smaller portions from the start.

Make a list of “bad” foods. Periodically, cross one of the list and pledge to never, ever eat it again. Eventually there will be none left.

Eat in front of a mirror, naked or in underwear if possible. If you can’t, carry a picture of yourself in a revealing outfit and look at it when you want to eat. When you have cr4vings pinch your f4t and look at your problem areas, don’t add to them!

Eat a lot of fiber for digestive health and low c4lori3s.

Create a methodical routine for eating. Cut food into tiny pieces, count your bites and the number of times you chew, set your utensils down between bites, and sip water between bites. Add other rules or r1tuals of your own.

Eat higher-cal0r1e items earlier in the day so you have more time to burn them off; if you eat late eat light or it will be more likely to be stored as f4t due to inactivity. Try not to eat too late, sleep burns cal0ri3s and is a good opportunity to burn fat with little effort. The body must burn through all digesting food before taking energy from stored food (fat).

When you go out, take very little money or only enough to buy whatever non-food item you plan on buying. This will make it harder to buy food on impulse.

Don’t take bites, either from others’ food or while cooking, as the c4l0ries add up surprisingly fast and you may not realize how much extra you’re taking in.

Write down everything you eat and its cal0ri3s. This will make you think before eating and also make you more aware of how much food and cal0r1es you are actually consuming. You can also write down other things such as how you’re feeling, who you’re with, place, time, and why you chose to eat it, this will help you track patterns in your eating behavior.

Wear a rubber band around your wrist and snap it when you want to eat. Food = pain.

Set a time you cannot eat past. 6:00 or 7:00pm are good

choices. This is especially helpful if you are prone to night b1nging. Then make a rule that you cannot eat before 6:00 or 7:00AM, this is like having a 12-hr fast every day.

You shouldn’t eat for at least 3 hours before going to bed. The extra hours will help burn off the cal0ri3s. If you eat soon before sleeping, you absorb more cal0ri3s due to inactivity and you put on weight.

Have a peppermint or peppermint tea. Peppermint decreases hunger.

Brush your teeth when you want to eat. The clean feeling and mint aftertaste will put you off food.

Press on your stomach when it grumbles. TUMS also stop stomach growling and have calcium.(5 cal0r1es a piece so be careful!)

Carry a list of all the reasons you want to be th1n and avoid food. Look at it when you want to eat to remind yourself why you won’t. Or, write a new list every time you want to eat. It’ll distract you, postpone eating, and thinking of the reasons will inspire you.

Cut a ribbon the size you want your wa1st to be. wrap and tie it around your wrist like a bracelet. Every time you look at it you’ll be reminded of your goals. When you’re tempted, take it off and wrap it around your waist. See how close you are, or how far you have to go, and resist the temptation.

Always leave at least one bite of food on your plate. This will help you to be able to stop eating and prevent b1nges. It will also stop you from compulsively finishing portions even when you have eaten enough.

Save $1 for every meal you don’t eat, then use the money to buy yourself a non-food present.

Friends will only get in the way. Avoid them until you reach your goals.

Never eat in secret. This is a terrible habit that leads to compulsive b1nging. If you wouldn’t eat it in front of all your friends you shouldn’t be e4ting it at all! Also if you only eat around other people they will know that you do eat and assume you eat alone as well, thus lessening suspicion that you have an 3D.

Never eat out of a box or jar. Always eat from a plate or bowl. This will help you in several ways: You will see how much you are really e4ting; you can determine in advance how much you will eat and not go back for seconds; using a small plate or bowl will make you eat even less; you can count/measure out an exact serving and know the accurate amount of cal0ri3s you are consuming.

Give clothes to Goodwill as they get too big for you. Don’t keep them around “just in case.”

If you live alone, put sp0 and/or reverse sp0 pictures on the pantry and refrigerator. A mirror works well too.

When you have hunger pangs, picture your stomach eating away your fat, and that what you feel is the feeling of th1nness and your fat burning away.

Coffee is an app3tite suppr3ssant. Drink it black or with Splenda or other no-cal0rie sweetener.

Count your bites, and the number of times you chew them. Plan in advance how many bites you can have. Then make them smaller or use smaller utensils.

Paint your nails so you can’t eat until the polish dries. Teeth whitening strips are good too.

Drink water before eating. If you’re still hungry, drink green tea or broth. If you still need to eat, you’ll eat less than you would have.

Eat low-cal0rie foods with strong flavors. Sometimes you’re craving taste, not food. For bouillon, use less water than is recommended. Peppermints, pickles, peppers, and mustard are good choices.

Do not eat anything unless you know the exact amount of cal0ries in it.

Chew gum while cooking. That way you can’t take bites while it is cooking, and you won’t want to eat it once it’s done.

Keep food out of sight, not sitting out, and stay away from food and the kitchen to keep your mind off it.

Keep a pocket sp0 in your wallet with your cash so you won’t spend money on food.

For sweet cr4vings, lick a chopstick and dip it into a d1et Swiss Miss pack.

Write your current weight on one hand, and your goal we1ght on the other. When you go to eat, you’ll be reminded how 4t you are, and how skinny you could be.

The Four D’s:

Distance yourself from food.

Distract yourself.

Delay eating

Decide what your goals really are.

Green tea

raises met4bolism and is very good for the skin and overall health. Drink it in the morning to increase metabol1sm for the day. Add lemon to make it more effective and to add a detoxifying aspect.

Hot water with lemon is another good morning drink.

Spicy foods raise met4bolism, if you don’t like them you can take cayenne pepper capsules available in supplement section of drugstores or health food stores.

Drinking apple cider vinegar is said to raise met4bolism, have a few tablespoons, can also be mixed in water (with lemon would be best) or used as salad dressing.

Start the morning with stretching to wake up your muscles, the morning is also the best time to exercise because your body will use stored food (f4t) as fuel instead of food you ate. It also processes food better throughout the day and gives you more energy if you exercise in the morning.

Get at least 6 hours of sleep each night, less than this can decrease metab0lism by 10% and increase 4ppetite by 15%. You look better and feel better when you have more sleep also if you’re sleeping then you’re not eating!

Keep good posture, it burns 10% more cal0ries throughout the day. You also look better.

Vitamin B6 and B12 raise met4bolism and give you energy.

Eating protein increases your met4bolic rate by 14%
