When obstacles like overeating or cravings pose a threat to halt your progress and reverse all of your hard work, weight loss necessitates some clever techniques. The need to seek for more innovative solutions to overcome the typical obstacles of a fitness journey without giving up is driven by the fact that consistency is as important as strategy.

On June 30, Josh Bain, who often offers fitness-related advice on his Instagram, shared some clever strategies for cutting 500 calories in a day.

1. Use your non-dominant hand to eat

"Sounds ridiculous, huh? However, the fitness instructor continued, "This will slow down your eating and help you eat 30% less. That might result in a 150–300 calorie reduction in just one meal." It might be unpleasant to eat with your non-dominant hand, but this helps you avoid overeating and reaching out for more food even when you are satisfied. Therefore, if you are a righty, switch to your left, and if you are a lefty, use your right hand to eat.

2. Before the end of the day, brush your teeth

Brushing one's teeth serves as a signal to the brain that it's time to stop eating. "Doing this earlier than your bed time routine creates a psychological ‘kitchen closed’ effect," Josh said as he described this mental trick. Watch as this revolutionizes the way late-night snacks are eliminated! By doing this, you may easily reduce your calorie intake by 200–600.

3. Avoid consuming liquid calories

The fitness instructor taught us how these drinks are liquid calories, even if we all have a weakness for them as the pick-me-ups that keep us going throughout the day. It's simple to overeat because they are not usually listed as 'real food.' "These sneak up on you," Josh said. "2-3 coffees a day could lead to hundreds of calories." Creamers, smoothies, alcohol... they all count.

4. Reduce the amount of oils and butters you use.

Due to the health hazards associated with deep frying, refined oil is used excessively. From high blood pressure to elevated blood sugar and harmful cholesterol, it raises every risk factor for health. "Opt for a low cal spray instead or get an Air Fryer!" said the fitness instructor when recommending an air fryer.

5. Don't accept food right away.

"Wait 15 minutes and drink a glass of lemon water before you say 'yes' to food! You're probably satisfied," Josh warned. Drinking fruit-infused water or simply water before a meal reduces hunger and makes you feel fuller, so you're less inclined to eat more.

6. Learn how to manage the size of your portions.

Finally, the fitness instructor brought up the crucial issue of portion control as yet another strategy for overcoming overeating. He continued, "Make sure you eat the right things." You wish to eat foods with a high volume and low calorie content, such as tomatoes, celery, cucumber, gherkins, and cabbage.
