Diet and different ways of weight loss, there are hundreds of them, but a basic diet is to reduce calories. By reducing daily calories by 500, you can lose about a pound a week, which is a moderate and healthy way to lose weight.

If you do not know where to “cut” to save those 500 calories necessary, we have a few simple ideas for you.

1st Stay away from nuts

Nuts contain healthy fats, but no problem in them. The problem is the amount you enter into yourself. And we all know the effect of “one pulls the other” and so on until the bowl in front of you is left completely empty. If you just can not resist, nibble pistachio – two hands contain 159 calories.

2nd Skip the sour cream in coffee

Coffee with lots of cream or whipped cream may contain up to 600 calories, while a short espresso in it is only on 30 Switch to black coffee and you’ll save a bunch of calories (and some money).

3rd Do not eat in front of the TV

Studies have shown that people who eat in front of the television entered averaging 288 more calories than people who eat at the table. Relax and enjoy the food without disturbing factors.

4th Reduce your intake of fruit juices and sweetened beverages

Half a liter of soft drink has between 270 and 300 calories, a cup of sweetened tea and up to 180 calories. Keep a sweetening drinks to a minimum and you will save over 400 calories.

5th Use small plates

If you replace a smaller plate, you eat an average of 20 to 25 percent less food than usual. Sounds like a cheap trick, but why not try it?

6th Get enough sleep

First, when you’re tired, there is a greater chance that you will try to compensate for a lack of energy food. Secondly, too little sleep increases the production of the hormone ghrelin, and increased levels of this hormone reduces energy consumption, increase the feeling of hunger and food intake.

7th Listen to your body

Eat slowly, chew longer and listen to your body. If your stomach is shouting that it is full, ignore the fact that the plate is not empty. You do not have to eat everything. You are not in competition.
