Workout and weight loss on wheels- out of sight, out of mind.

It is suggested that you put unhealthy (junk)food out of plain sight. However, it is easier on you to not make those purchases in the first place. It is better to bring your kids up on granola bars, nuts, seeds, apples, celery, and carrots. They are likely to get many opportunities to eat chips, soda, and candy outside of your home anyway. Portion size is a crucial part of weight loss so similarly to the idea of keeping junk food out of sight, the same goes to full serving dishes during dinner. First, this leaves more room on the kitchen or dining room table. Second, it is less likely that you will get up for more helpings if it takes some effort to get to it. Third, if you are engaged in conversation during the meal that conversations will be broken if you leave the room to get more food. Fourth, If you do get up for another helping make sure the conscious decision requires effort of movement- every bit counts. Fifth, when the meal is over go back and forth extra times to collect everything on the table. Though inefficient and time consuming, clean - up balances out the calories you just ate.
