You don't need to count calories to lose a few sizes; instead, check out these 10 tips to lose weight and get in shape without suffering.
1.- Eat slowly
Enjoy every bite and don’t rush your meals. The signals that the stomach sends to the brain to let you know that you’re satisfied are slow and can take up to 20 minutes after you are full. If you take it easy, you will stop eating when you actually don’t want any more.
2.- Sleep more. It is recommended to sleep eight hours a night. According to a researcher from the University of Michigan, sleeping one hour more than usual can help you lose up to 6 kg per year.
3.- Do you like pizza? No problem, as long as you eat in moderation and order it with only vegetables. This way, you will have a balanced meal that includes carbohydrates, fats, and vegetables.

4.- If you consume sugary drinks, take them from a tall and thin glass. According to researcher Brian Wansink from Cornell University, visual stimuli can make you eat more or less. When you see a tall and thin glass, it gives the impression of a lot of liquid. In contrast, a short and wide glass seems to have less water, and therefore we consume more. Using the tall and thin option will reduce your intake by 25 to 30%.

6.- Whenever you have to choose between red sauces and cream-based sauces, choose the red ones. Tomato-based sauces usually have much fewer calories and more vitamins than the others.

7.- Diet gum helps send the message to the brain that you are eating without consuming calories. Moreover, the flavor of the gum (it can be mint or spearmint) will make you less likely to crave other foods while chewing it.
8.- Never eat alone. Eating with others usually leads to pauses between each bite for conversation, which is good because it gives your gastric system time to function without stress.
9.- Don't skip breakfast. One might think that skipping a meal saves calories, but it has been proven that those who have a good breakfast perform better throughout the day and have a more effective calorie burn. The option is a multigrain cereal with fruit and some low-fat dairy to start the day.

10.- Eat a variety of foods. We all have a dietary routine, and whether you are Mexican, Japanese, or American, it is always good to vary your diet. This prevents the stomach from getting used to a single way of eating and encourages it to work and identify new foods. While maintaining a balanced diet, one can shift from Italian recipes to Chinese, Arabic, and French without any problems.
