Summer is around the corner! Are you ready for the beach? If not, try these hacks for 30 days – you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
Working out is an essential part of any fat loss plan. It sculpts your muscles, raises your resting metabolism, whittles down your waist and gives you more strength and endurance.
The only catch is that you can seriously slow, or even reverse, your results by eating poorly. There’s nothing quite as frustrating as when you are working out like a warrior only to see little to no change in your physique.
IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT FAT LOSS try these next 3 dieting hacks for 30 days and I guarantee they will amp up your results, I PROMISE!!!!
This means quicker fat loss and smaller belly rolls.
Dieting Hack #1: RICE
Rice is a staple in almost every culture, and a big part of every meal. There’s white rice, brown rice, stir fried rice, sticky rice, wild rice and the list goes on. All of these kinds of rice (yes, even brown rice) are packed with carbs and calories. This is great, if you are a growing child or an athlete, but not so great if you’re trying to slim down.
Rather than give up rice completely, let’s turn to Dieting Hack #1.
CAULIFLOWER RICE: DON’T KNOCK THIS UNTIL YOU TRY IT! I was skeptical too. To make rice from cauliflower first wash it and trim the leaves and stems. Chop into small pieces and then run those pieces through a food processor with the grating attachment. This will result in a rice-like consistency. Place the cauliflower rice in a large skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and you are good to go. Serve your normal vegetable and meat dishes over a bed of cauliflower rice just as you would traditional rice. If you don’t have time to cook, you can buy the frozen version which works just as well.
Dieting Hack #2: NOODLES
Have you ever noticed that when you crave your favorite pasta dish, you’re actually just craving the sauce? Noodles alone are bland and unspectacular. The magic, as well as the protein, is in the sauce.
Noodles, like traditional rice, are packed with calories and carbs that get in the way of your fat loss results. So, rather than just eating a bowl of sauce, try…
ZUCCHINI NOODLES: Again, try this trick before you knock it – I’m guessing that you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Wash a zucchini, and then run a vegetable peeler down its sides, creating long, wide noodles. Stop when you reach the inner, seedy part of the zucchini. These raw, zucchini noodles do not require any cooking, simply throw them onto your plate and top with your favorite pasta sauce. (Of course, I’m assuming that you’re not going to use a white, cream-based sauce, but that’s another article for another day.) You can also use a spiralizer if you have one, for more thin spaghetti-looking noodles.
Dieting Hack #3: BREAD, BUNS, TORTILLAS
Cauliflower rice and zucchini noodles are perfect for those meals that you prepare at home, but what about when you eat out? Many restaurant meals revolve around bread, buns or tortillas. These things are tasty, yet filled with calories and carbs that add to the belly rolls.
That’s when you turn to Dieting Hack #3.
THE LETTUCE WRAP: This trick is more popular than the first two, so you may already be familiar with it. How does it work? When ordering your meal, be it a sandwich, burger or tacos, ask that it be wrapped in lettuce in place of the bread, bun or tortilla. Most places are really cool about it, and you end up getting to eat the good part of the meal – the meat and flavors—without the carb-filled extras. If for some reason the restaurant is unable to wrap it in lettuce for you, then ask for the filling to be placed on a pile of greens and eat it with a fork.
Try these 3 Dieting Hacks out for the next 30 days, and see how quickly your fat loss results ramp up. Seeing results will motivate you to workout harder and more consistently, which will then add to an even greater level of fitness.
