Your calorie intake to lose weight must be substantially less than your current calorie intake. While choosing alternative nutritional foods, reducing your sugar and white carbohydrates intake may reduce your calorie intake, you’ll also want to do other things to trick your brain into believing you are eating the same amounts of food, yet also reducing the calorie intake enough to promote weight loss. You can do this by:
- Increasing the amount of raw vegetables and other high fiber foods in your diet.
- Removing a third of the amount of food on your plate
- Trick your brain by serving meals on smaller plates.
