Slim down during supper time

You don’t need to eat soup or a salad for supper in order to slim down. Simply follow these slimming tips this evening! 

You’ve probably heard the saying, ‘Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen and supper like a pauper.’ Research has found this to be sound health advice and even a key to successful weight loss!  

This is because your metabolism burns more calories during the day, while you’re busy, and burns the least amount of calories while you sleep. And it is why you shouldn’t eat large, calorie dense dinners if you want to lose weight! However, you don’t want to starve yourself either.

So how can you find a happy medium?

Dr. Oz, cardiothoracic surgeon, author and television personality, has a few slimming supper tips you could try this evening…  

• Talk while you’re eating. Well, maybe not with your mouth full of food, but by engaging in conversation over a meal, your stomach feels fuller quicker. 

• Eat off a kiddie’s plate. Eating your supper off a smaller plate, like a side plate, will help you refrain from overeating.

• Pass on the juice. Wash your meal down with a glass of water instead of juice and you’ll save some extra calories.

• Switch up your dressing. Instead of using creamy or fatty sauces, add flavour to your food with salsa or an olive oil and vinaigrette dressing.

• Take a break. During your meal, take a 30 second break to evaluate how hungry you still are before cleaning your plate or dishing up seconds. 

 Follow these five simple slim down tips during dinner and you’ll feel lighter by bedtime!
