Experts 15 Best Diet Tips -- Revealed!

Experts share their top tips for weight loss success

Best Diet Tip No. 1: Stay hydrated or other calorie-free drinks.

People sometimes addle thirst with wanting for food. So you can end up eating extra calories when an ice-cold glass of water is really what you need.

"If you don't like plain water, try adding citrus or a splash of juice, or brew 
infused teas like apple or peach, which have lots of flavor but has no calorie," says Cynthia Sass, RD, a speaker for the American Dietetic Association.

Best Diet Tip No. 2: Think about what you can add to your daily diet, not what you should take away.

Start by focusing on getting the recommended 5-9 portions of fruits and vegetables each day.

"It sounds like a lot, but it is well worth it, because simultaneously you are 
meeting your fiber goals and feel more pleased from the volume of the 
meal," says chef Laura Pansiero, RD.

You're also less likely to overindulge because fruits and vegetables displace fat in the diet. And that's not to mention the health advantages of fruits and vegetables. More than 200 research have recorded the disease-preventing features of phytochemicals found in produce, says Pansiero.

Her recommendation for getting more: Work vegetables into meals 
instead of just serving them as sides on a dish.

"I really like to take seasonal vegetables and make stir-fries, frittatas, risotto, pilafs, sauces, or layer on snacks," Pansiero says. "It is so simple to buy a variety of clean vegetables and incorporate them into dishes."

Best Diet Tip No.. 3: Consider whether you're really starving.

Whenever you feel like eating, look for signs of wanting for food, indicates Mrs. May, MD, author of Am I Hungry?

"Hunger is your body's way of telling you that you need fuel, so when a wanting doesn't come from yearning for food, eating will never satisfy it," she says.

When you're done, you should feel better -- not stuffed, swollen, or tired.

"Your abdomen is only the dimension your fists, so it takes just a handful of meals to fill it perfectly," says May.

Keeping your sections reasonable will help you get more in touch with your 
feelings of wanting for food and volume.

Best Diet Tip No. 4: Be selective about nighttime snacks.

Mindless eating occurs most frequently after supper, when you finally sit 
down and relax.

"Sitting down with a bag of chips or biscuits in front of the television is an 
example of eating amnesia, where you mindlessly eat even when you're bot hungry, but out of addiction," says American Dietetic Association representative Malena Perdomo, RD.

Either close down the kitchenafter a certain hour, or allow yourself a low-calorie snack food, like a 100-calorie pack of biscuits or a half-cup information of low-fat cream. Once you find that you're usually pleased with the low-cal snack food, try a cup of zero-calorie tea, indicates Perdomo.

Best Diet Tip No. 5: Appreciate your preferred meals.

"I think putting your preferred meals off limits leads to excess bodyweight 
because it activates 'rebound' unnecessary eating," says Sass.

Instead of cutting out your preferred meals altogether, be a slim consumer. 
Buy one clean bakery biscuit instead of a box, or a little part of sweets from 
the bulk containers instead of a whole bag.

"You can take advantage of your preferred meals, but you must do so in 
control," says Sass.

Best Diet Tip No. 6: Appreciate your snacks away from home.

When you need a treat, Ellie Krieger, RD, host of Food's Networks Healthy 
page, recommends walking to your local ice cream shop or little ones trip.

"By making it into an adventure, you don't have to worry about the enticement of having snacks in the house, and it is a fun and enjoyable way to realize success when you are body fat," says Krieger.

And for those times you just can't get out? Krieger shares her kitchen with fruits, which she thinks can be every bit as delicious as any other sweet treats.

Best Diet Tip No. 7: Eat several mini-meals during the day.

If you eat less calorie than you burn, you will lose weight. But when you're starving all the time, eating less calorie can be challenging.

"Studies show individuals who eat 4-5 meals or snacks per day are better able to manage their appetite and body weight," says obesity specialist 
Rebecca Reeves, DrPH, RD.

She suggests splitting your daily calories into little meals or snacks and enjoying as many of them as you can early in the day -- dinner should be the 
last time you eat.

Best Diet Tip No. 8: Eat proteins at every food.

Protein is more fulfilling than carbohydrate food or fats, and thus may be the new ace in the hole in weight-loss.

"Diets higher in proteins, average in carbs, along with a fit and healthy lifestlye, have an excellent potential to help weight-loss," says University of Il proteins specialist Brian Individual, PhD.

Getting enough proteins allows preserve muscle and motivates fat burning while keeping you feeling  full. So be sure to include sources of proteins, like 
yogurt, cheese, nuts, or legumes, at meals and snacks.

Best Diet Tip No. 9: Spice it up.

Add spices or herbs  to your meals for a flavor boost that can help you feel pleased.

"Food that is loaded with flavor will activate your preferences and be more fulfilling so you won't eat as much," says Perdomo.

When you need something lovely, pull on a red-hot fireball sweets for a long-lasting rush of sweet taste with just a few nutrient consumption.

Best Diet Tip No. 10: Stock your cooking area area with healthy convenience meals.

Having ready-to-eat snacks and meals-in-minutes basics on hand places you 
up for success. You'll be less likely to hit the drive-through or call in a pizza if you can prepare a healthy meal in 5 or 10 moments.


Best Diet Tip No. 11: Order childreñas portions at restaurants.

"When you're eating at restaurants, purchase a child's pizzas or a little food as an simple way to trim calories and get your serving under management," suggest Perdomo.

Another trick is to use smaller plates. This allows the servings look like more, and if your mind is pleased, your abdomen likely will be, too.

Best Diet Tip No. 12: Eat foods in season.

"If you don't really like certain fruits or vegetables, it could be because you ate them out of season when they have little flavor or taste," says Pensiero. "When you eat seasonally, fruits and vegetables are more tasty, 
at their best, and I promise you won't be frustrated."

At GiGi's Trattoria, her restaurant in Rhinebeck, N.Y., she serves simple fruit 
desserts, like naturally sweet berries topped with aged balsamic vinegar, or low-fat yogurt or fresh berries in a compote.

Best Diet Tip No. 13: Exchange a cup of pasta for a cup of vegetables.

Simply by eating less pasta or bread and more veggies, you could reduce a 
dress or pants size in a year.

"You can save from 100-200 calories if you reduce the part of starchy foods on your dish and increase the amount of vegetables," says Sass.

Best Diet Tip No. 14: Use non-food alternatives to cope with stress.

Sooner or later, you're going to be faced with a upsetting situation. Instead of turning to food for comfort, be prepared with some non-food tactics that work for you.

Sass encourage reading a few part in a novel, enjoy music, writing in a journal, practicing meditation, or looking at a photo album of loved ones.

Best Diet Tip No. 15: Be physically active.

Although it may seem unproductive, don't use exercise either to penalize yourself for eating or to "earn" the right to eat more.

"When you do, it places up a negative thought pattern, which is why so many 
individuals say they hate to exercise," says May.

Instead, focus on how great you feel, how much better you sleep and how 
much more energy you have when you exercise. Exercising is good for you whether you are fat or not, so keep it positive and build a long term habit.
