Super Effective Weight Loss Tip #7 Replace French fries and mashed potatoes with mashed chickpeas(hummus)
Mashed potatoes are high glycermic Index foods with a GI score of 90 and above, meaning they can get converted to fat very easily. For effective weight loss, it is crucial to stick to low GI foods so that the calories can have more time to be utilized by the body instead of turning into fat too quickly.
Mashed chickpeas(hummus) have a GI score of around 30 and tastes just like French fries and mashed potatoes.
Soak dried chickpeas overnight for at least 8 hours, then boil for 15 to 20 mins until soft. Then process in a food processor. One can add salt, dried Italian herbs, ground black pepper and replace the fat with coconut oil. Add coconut cream to make it more creamy like having butter. Or you can add coconut mayo instead of sour cream for weight loss.
If you want to eat roasted potatoes or french fries, you can roast or fry them in coconut oil(that can cause weight loss) instead of regular oil.

Super Effective Weight Loss Tip #6 Eat Only When You Are Hungry, Stop Sticking to Meal Times
Many overweight people who stick to meal times such as noon and 7 pm eat when they are not hungry. This can cause the premature intake of calories too soon, and such build-up of unneeded calories can cause weight gain.
Eating when one is not hungry can be the same as eating unnecessarily, which can cause weight gain.
When a person starts eating before hunger sets in, one might be prematurely taking in calories that might not yet be needed by the body especially for those who are already overweight. This can cause the conversion of unneeded calories into fat that gets stored in the body.
The trick to overcome this is to eat only when one is hungry. This means delaying a meal time until one is hungry. Instead of eating dinner at 7 when one is not yet hungry, one can delay the meal time and eat later when one feels hungry.
This method is not to starve oneself but to eat when one really feels the real need for calories.

Super Effective Weight Loss Tip #5 Replace Sugar with Stevia for Everything
There are many foods that contain sugar in them such as sweet drinks, jelly, nuts, jam, cookies, cakes, tarts, pies, even sauces. The sugar in them can get converted into fat easily.
One can already get stevia from the supermarket or even grow the stevia plant in one's backyard. The leaves of the stevia plant can be grounded and added into home-made jam, jelly, drinks, smoothies, sauces, and baked goods. it can even be sprinkled onto cut fruits.
For foods that require lots of sweetening to taste good, using stevia would be very effectively in replacing the unnecessary calories without having the detrimental effects.

Super Effective Weight Loss Tip #3 Include Fluid-Rich Foods During Meals to Boost Satiety
Fluids in food can increase the feeling of satiety or the feeling of being full. Rather than rely on foods that are low in fluids that can cause one to eat much before feeling full, choose the foods that are high in water content. Such foods that are high in fluids can also improve digestion and prevent constipation.
Many people don't realize that vegetables and fruits that are very high in water content can boost satiety and promote weight loss. They also make one feel very refreshed and promote good sleep. These foods are the best choice for the foods high in water content.
One can also choose other foods such as ramen noodles in clear soup, miso with seaweed soup, rice porridge, pasta in soup broth, minestrone soup, curry gravy.
For dessert, choose to eat fruits such as watermelon and honeydew that can make one feel refreshed rather than the dense dry desserts that are low in water content but high in carbs, sugar and fat.
For breakfast, oatmeal porridge, fruit and vegetable smoothies, and cereal in unsweetened non-dairy milk are good choices.
