7 Surprising Things That Aid Weight Loss ...

1. Positive Mindset

Studies show that if you are positive you will be more likely to lose weight and keep it off. With the right mindset you can produce incredible results on the scale and this transfers to all aspects of your life. Being positive is one of the most important things that aids weight loss.

2. Looking at Your Goal in a Different Way

With a weight loss goal of 40 pounds, it may seem like it will take forever to reach your goal weight, so look at your goal in a different way. If you look at your goal as losing 4 pounds 10 times it is much more achievable than just looking at the total goal of 40. So spin it however you choose to help you to stay motivated.

3. Fully Stock Your Fridge

If you fully stock your fridge with fruits and vegetables you will have options to choose your daily eating. Variety is the spice of life, so why not stock up on kale, Swiss chard, asparagus, eggplant and the many other healthy options? You will eat more veggies this way to prevent them from going bad. And this is an investment in your health.

4. Make Your Pantry Bare

Since the pantry is where you will stock your dry goods and people often have cookies along with other processed foods, clean out your kitchen pantry. You can keep your healthy choices like quinoa, whole wheat rice and whole wheat rice cakes in there, but eliminate any goodies so you will lose weight.

5. Putting on Your Workout Clothes

If you dress for the job that you want, you are more likely to land it. So what about dressing for the body that you want? Absolutely! Get in your workout clothes so that you can get motivated to get your workout in. If you get in your gear, you will be ready to get in the zone to achieve great weight loss results.

6. Have a Bowl of Soup

Studies show that people that sip on soup before their meal are more likely to lose weight and eat fewer calories at their meal. Soup eaters often even skip on dessert because they feel full, so make sure you have soup before your meal. Just avoid cream based soups since they are higher in calories and fat.
