  1. 3 dieting hacks that work

    Working out hard is an essential part of any fat loss plan. It sculpts your muscles, raises your resting metabolism, whittles down your waist, and gives you functional 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 champ only to face the same belly rolls each morning.

    To keep you from giving up in frustration, I’ve put together the following 3 Dieting Hacks to amp up your results.

    Why am I calling these hacks? A hack is used to get results faster. These hacks will fool your taste-buds and your mouth into thinking that you’re eating your regular favorites, when, in fact, you’ll be eating a meal with fewer calories, fewer carbs, and more fiber.

    Recipe hacks mean quicker fat loss and smaller belly rolls.

    That sounds fantastic. So let’s dig right in.

    Dieting Hack #1: RICE

    Rice is a big part of many a 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) come packed with carb and calories. Higher calories are ok if you are a growing child or an athlete, but not so great for someone with a fat loss goal.

    Rather than give up rice completely, because that would make your veggies and meat look lonely on a half-empty plate, let’s turn to Dieting Hack #1.

    CAULIFLOWER RICE: Now, don’t get skeptical on me until you give this food trick a try. 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 process 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 usual vegetable and meat dishes over a bed of cauliflower rice just as you would traditional rice.

    Dieting Hack #2: NOODLES

    Have you ever noticed that when you crave your favorite pasta dish, you mostly want 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 Dieting Hack #2.

    ZUCCHINI NOODLES: Again, try this trick before you knock it, I’m guessing that you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Wash 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, 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.)

    Dieting Hack #3: BREAD, BUNS, TORTILLAS

    Cauliflower rice and zucchini noodles are all fine and dandy for those meals that you prepare at home, but what about your meals that are eaten out? Many restaurant meals revolve around bread, buns, or tortillas. These things are tasty, yet filled with calories and carbs that add to those annoying 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 for it wrapped in lettuce in place of the bread, bun or tortilla. Most restaurants are cool about it, and you end up getting to eat the right 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. The improved outcomes will motivate you to work out harder and more consistently, which will then add to an even higher level of fitness.

    If you aren’t yet one of my clients, now is the perfect time for you to start. My focus is to get you to your goals using my results-driven method.
