How Reorganizing Your Pantry in These 7 Ways Can Help You To Lose Weight

What if we told you that shedding those last few pesky pounds can be as easy as engaging in a little spring cleaning? Well, it’s true—organizing your pantry the right way can make a world of a difference when it comes to scoring some more weight loss wins. Whether you’re strategically placing superstar items in the front or tossing out old stuff to free up precious pantry real estate, making these changes can help spruce up your surroundings… and melt pounds! Try your hand at these helpful tricks and then stock your storage area  for the ultimate kitchen makeover.

1

Place These Front & Center

Recently picked up some bagged lentils, chickpea pasta, and organic steel-cut oats? Place them front and center in your pantry! Whatever your eye catches first is likely the item you end up reaching for. So, hopefully, you’ll grab the good stuff rather than the treats lurking behind them. 

2

Keep Snacks Out Of Sight

If you must buy a bag of chips or a pack of chocolate chip cookies (you know, for the occasional guest…), besure to place it on your pantry’s hard-to-reach top shelf for not-so-easy access. Marissa Ciorciari, MS, RD, LD/N, CLT, Functional Nutritionist at Carillon Miami Beach recommends keeping snacks in an enclosed space instead of left out in the open. “Inside, keep items that you feel are tasty and fairly healthy, but ones that don’t trigger a ‘snack attack’ and leave you spiraling out of control. Out of sight, out of mind. If you know it’s a trigger food before you buy it, let it be in the store for some time before allowing it rental space again in your kitchen!”

3

Create A Coffee Zone

“If you’re a coffee drinker, create a ‘coffee zone’ where all your supplies are within reach of each other,” Jennifer Marcus, owner of D’Clutter Design, advises. “Use hooks under a cabinet to hang your mugs right next to your coffee maker, add a decorative container next to the maker with your favorite sweetener.” Creating a special space for your java supplies will help you reap some of the amazing things coffee does to your body, like boosting your metabolism, that much quicker!

4

Use Clear Containers

“Remove food from their boxes and put them in individual, clear, like-size containers. Not only will you gain space, but by using clear containers, you will know when you are running low and need to replenish your stock,” Marcus suggests. Noting when you’re running low on healthy foods can keep you from succumbing to less-than-wholesome choices when you’re hungry. Another tip: If you don’t want to forget what’s inside of the clear containers, cut the label off the box and tape it on the new jars. This will also help you stick to the serving size and prevent second helpings!

5

Makeover Your Spice Rack

If you’ve ever color-coded your closet, you’re already in on how helpful this simple method is when it comes to finding that deep purple top. So why not color code or alphabetize the spices in your pantry, too? “It really helps! We’ve definitely struggled more than once to find the right spice and end up buying extra of something we already have,” Tone It Up founders Karena Dawn and Katrina Hodgson admit. “Get your spice drawer organized for easy access to all the flavors your food may need—and have fun with it, too. You can choose fun jars and get creative with labels.” Not only will you practice your organizational skills, but you’ll also be more inclined to boost the flavor factor of your dishes with healthful spices rather than by dousing meals with caloric condiments.

6

Portion Things Out

Instead of creating a Ziplock box tower in your pantry, put the plastic baggies to good use by portioning out your snacks to prevent hitting the bottom of the chip bag. Researchers at Cornell University found that people given a bag of 100 Wheat Thins ate 20 percent more than those given four smaller bags of just 25 crackers. So bypass a potential binge by taking a few minutes to portion your snacks out perfectly.

7

If You Don’t Need It, Don’t Hoard It

Remember those festive cookie cutters you swore you’d use three Christmases ago? Or great granny’s stained tablecloth you felt bad chucking out? Get rid of them! “Simplicity is the highest form of sophistication. So keep everything clean, fresh, modern, and new,” says NY Health and Wellness’ Fitness Director Lisa Avellino. “When you’re inspired with a new color palette, you’re more likely to make better healthy choices in the kitchen. When stressed or overstimulated, we tend to rush and just grab anything. So slow down, be discerning, and literally clean house.”

8 Deadly, Shocking Things People Actually Do To Loose Weight. Don't try Them!

"I love waiting!" Actually, don't quote us on that because it's definitely not true. Waiting sucks. Whoever said patience is a virtue clearly never knew the meaning of "instant gratification." That's why so many weight-loss regimens fail—people hate waiting to see results, so they'll try anything that *guarantees* a significantly smaller waist in just three weeks.

Not to sound like a fortune cookie, but there are no shortcuts to losing weight. Yes, you might try a juice cleanse and drop 10 pounds super fast, but all that weight will pile right back on eventually. In order to lose weight and effectively maintain the loss, you need a stable, long-lasting plan. (Stop groaning because most fads will leave you starving, or worse, mess with your body beyond repair.) Save yourself, take your time, and forget that you've ever heard about these horrible "weight-loss" tricks.

Waist Training

We know you've seen celebrities wearing these, but you're not burning fat by cinching your midsection. Waist training pushes fat to different parts of your body, and that tightening can crush your organs if worn for an extended period of time.

Bingeing and Purging

When you overeat excessive amounts of food and then force yourself to throw up, those stomach acids go places no acid should ever touch. The enamel on teeth wears away, your throat inflames, and you can become dehydrated quickly—and that's just a taste of this behavior's nasty side effects.

Obalon Pill

If you go to the company's website, this pill looks legit. But hold up: It's still under investigation by the FDA and not available for sale in the U.S. That should be enough to raise an eyebrow, but get this: When you swallow the pill, a balloon EXPANDS IN YOUR STOMACH to take up room and make you feel full, thereby cutting down on how much you eat. Didn't we learn not to swallow balloons when we were like, a toddler? Just us?

Starvation

Otherwise known as anorexia. It's another eating disorder where you severely limit your food intake and deprive your body of vital nutrients, which can cause skin to turn yellow, bones to thin, and and your brain to deteriorate. It's far too common and too often overlooked, but the dangers are real, and we encourage anyone who needs help to seek it out.

Cleanses

All liquid everything! Goodbye, solid food! Hello, straws! We all know a juice cleanse doesn't work in the long run, right? 

Please say yes.

Tape Worm Diet

You don't want to know this but we're telling you for your own good. In a nutshell, you swallow a tape worm trapped in a pill that grows inside your stomach and eats most of the food you put into your body. When you lose the weight you want, you take more medications to kill the bug. We can't.

Tongue Patch

This sounds like something out of a horror film. Surgeons pry your mouth open and sew a patch of material to the top of your tongue. Why? Because when you try to eat solid food, the patch irritates your tongue that makes it so painful that you don't want to eat solid foods and revert to consuming only liquids. No. No, no, no.

WHY IS THERE WEIGHT INCREASE IN PEOPLE AFTER GETTING MARRIED? FIND OUT

The bliss of early marriage makes many people want to spend all their extra time with their new significant other. While that's certainly an enjoyable aspect of being a newlywed, many couples make eating a central part of the activities they enjoy together, and that can lead to unhealthy weight gain for the bride and groom. Luckily, you and your new spouse don't have to fall victim to marriage weight gain if you know the statistics and how to stay healthy.

Marriage Weight Gain Statistics

Couples who have been married for two years or longer are more likely to gain weight than their single counterparts, according to a 2012 study published in "Obesity." In fact, newly married women in their early 20s gain an average of 24 pounds in the first five years of marriage and men in the same age group gain an average of 30 pounds during that same time, according to "USA Today," referencing that same study. Interestingly, couples who were living together, but weren't married, didn't experience weight gain to the same degree.

Partners Can Influence Each Other

Married couples eat most of their meals together, so they're more likely to eat foods that they wouldn't normally eat because their spouse has a craving for them. In fact, partner influence over eating decisions is a large factor in weight gain after marriage. Two additional factors that might come into play are the tendency to eat out together more often and to cook bigger meals when eating at home. Increased time spent watching television together is another factor in post-marital weight gain, according to "Obesity."

The Pressure Is Off

The pressure tends to be off once a couple gets married. In other words, people who are dating are more likely to stay slender to keep the attention of their partner. Couples who are happy, satisfied and secure in their marriage are more likely to gain weight because they no longer feel any pressure to attract a mate, according to a 2013 article published in "Health Psychology."

Preventing Marriage Weight Gain

Married couples should consider their weight a factor in their overall health and well-being instead of just their appearance, the article in "Health Psychology" notes. Just as married couples can influence each other to eat poorly, they can also influence each other to make healthy choices. Work together to create nutritious menus, shop for healthy foods together and make meal preparation a joint effort because these can help you stay slim, as well as bond over a shared goal. To that same end, exercise as a couple, as well.

These Are The 10 Weight Loss Tips From Kim Kardashian That You Need To Shed Those Extra Fats

Although none of the Kardashian women are certified weight-loss experts, they've collectively lost hundreds of pounds right before your eyes:

Take Kim, who lost the 60 pounds she gained during her last pregnancy:

Or Kourtney, who lost her 35 pounds of baby weight within five months of giving birth:

And then of course there's Khloé, who appears to be maintaining her 40-pound weight loss:

While some of their weight loss strategies are ineffective (and a bit absurd), the Kardashians do have access to the best nutritionists and fitness trainers that money can buy. To figure out which of their weight loss tips are safe and effective for people who may need to lose weight, Cosmopolitan.com asked Philadelphia-based weight-loss specialist Charlie Seltzer, MD, to assess. Here are the ones that are worth your time:

1. Set a realistic weight-loss goal.

Throughout Kim's most recent post-baby weight loss journey, she was vocal about her weight-loss goals, and even shared photos of her feet on a scale.

Expert's take: People who weigh themselves frequently tend to do better with weight loss because they have data points that clue them in when something they're doing isn't working and can adjust their diets accordingly, according to Dr. Seltzer. As long as you pick a realistic goal and don't fixate on minor weight fluctuations, which can happen when you eat later than usual or dig into extra-salty food, weighing yourself every morning can be a useful weight-loss tool. (And if you do tend to get compulsive about the number, considering having a weight-loss professional track your progress for you or talking to psychologist if your weight really drives you crazy.)

2. Start your day with a protein shake.

Kourtney has said she drinks protein shakes for breakfast. They're made with banana, apple, nonfat yogurt, milk, almonds, cinnamon, and a scoop of ice with vanilla QuickTrim protein powder (an item that features her sisters on the label, FWIW). Meanwhile, Khloé follows suit: She's said she drinks her protein shake on the way home from her morning gym session to stave off hanger.

Expert's take: Dr. Seltzer is a fan of the high-protein breakfast: "It's a convenient way to get nutrition in the morning, and because you count ingredients as you put them in, they're portion-controlled," he says.

3. Eat the same breakfast half the year, and then switch it up to something else.

Kourtney is a creature of habit, according to a post she wrote on her app: She says she eats the same breakfast every day for six months, then switches it up with a different go-to breakfast for the rest of the year.

Expert's take: Eating the same meal regularly is known as stimulus-narrowing, a strategy that reduces your options to help you eat fewer calories, which can result in weight loss, according to Dr. Seltzer. (It comes down to personal preference — if eating oatmeal day in and day out bores you, and ultimately triggers cravings for other foods, this one's probably not for you.)

4. Limit your calories.

Kim doesn't eat more than 1,800 calories a day, her nutritionist Colette Heimowitz toldElle.

Expert's take: While counting calories can drive anyone nuts, controlling how much you eat is a necessary evil if you're serious about losing weight — whether it's counting calories or reining in your serving sizes. "People who track their food do better at losing weight because they know how much they can eat," Dr. Seltzer says, meaning this tip actually enables you to eat the foods you want and still hit your weight-loss goals. If you're not apt to track every bite, just take note of your overall intake, and compensate with a lighter lunch before a big pizza dinner. You'll naturally keep your daily intake in check.

Caloric needs are highly personal and based on your age, height, average activity level, current weight, and goal weight, but you can use this chart to estimate your ideal intake, then ask your doctor how much it's cool to cut.

5. Channel your emotions into exercise you love.

Khloé has written that she once ate out of boredom, habit, and unhappiness. But during her breakup with Lamar, she turned to exercise rather than eating, watching bad reality TV on an elliptical and working out with her trainer Gunnar Peterson instead. "He taught me that the trick to staying motivated is to find what you really love to do," she told Shapemagazine.

Expert's take: While research suggests that exercise can't offset the damage done by emotional eating binges (humans simply can't burn calories as quickly as they can eat them), replacing the destructive eating behavior with productive ones (like exercise) can release endorphins that relieve anxiety, improve your mood, and provide a coping mechanism that doesn't cost you calories — ideal when weight loss is the goal.

6. Eat about the same amount of food every day — regardless of your workouts.

Kim eats about the same number of calories regardless of whether she's doing an intense workout or laying low, according to Heimowitz. "You're taking in 1,800 calories and enough protein to turn your body mass into muscle," she told Elle. "There's no need to adjust it for someone working out."

Expert's take: While conventional wisdom suggests that the more you move, the more fuel you need, increasing your intake on extra active days can stunt your weight-loss efforts. So long as you aren't a pro athlete training for an endurance sport, and you're eating enough protein, Dr. Seltzer recommends against eating more calories to compensate for activities. "Some people who work out actually conserve calories when they stop exercising or subconsciously move less after a workout," he explains. So when you exercise, just make it your goal to get faster and stronger. Then adjust your calories based on whether you're meeting your weight-loss goals, he suggests.

7. Drink 12 cups of detox tea a day.

Kendall told E! News she drinks Kusmi Detox Tea in the morning with upward of 12 refills a day. (She could be exaggerating, but hey, you get the point.)

Expert's take: While 12 cups can land you in the bathroom quite a bit, Dr. Seltzer says it would be difficult to really overdo it on decaf tea. So long as you don't drink it in lieu of meals — a stupid idea, considering tea has no calories, and you need calories to perform every bodily function and fend off cravings that lead to overeating — Dr. Seltzer doesn't take issue with drinking any flavor of tea that suits you.

8. Eat three to four servings of protein a day.

Kim's meal plan includes a 6-ounce serving of protein at every meal throughout the day: She might dig into eggs with veggies and a slice of cheese for breakfast, grilled salmon for lunch, and a chicken breast for dinner.

Expert's take: "There are wildly different recommendations on protein and requirements, but generally, the more you eat, the more full you'll feel," says Dr. Seltzer, who stresses that protein is vital for maintaining muscle mass during periods of fat loss.

9. Snack on packaged bars to hold you over between meals.

Kim's food plan suggests she snacks on Atkins Harvest Trail Dark Chocolate Cherry and Nuts Bars — a 150-calorie bar that contains twice as many carbs (16 grams) as grams of protein (8 grams), with 10 grams of fiber from ingredients like chicory root fiber, soluble corn fiber, and oat fiber. It's also sweetened with sucralose.

Expert's take: Despite the fact that this bar contains a lot of random ingredients, including a questionable artificial sweetener, Dr. Seltzer says that snack bars can indeed assist with weight loss: "I don't care about eating processed foods when they're portion-controlled," he says. "Someone who loses weight from eating portion-controlled processed foods will probably live longer than someone who eats hummus, almonds, and kale, and weighs 600 pounds." He's a big fan of this bar's fiber content, in particular, because fiber keeps you feeling full so long as you increase your intake gradually to prevent gas and bloating.

10. Eat whatever the fuck you want.

If you ask Khloé, she'll tell you Kendall follows the anti-model diet: She loves burgers and pizza and goes to In-N-Out all the time.

Expert's take: "There are better things to eat, but to me, this is better than a raw, vegan diet that leaves you feeling deprived and going off the deep end, eating 100 burgers and ending up overweight," Dr. Seltzer says. While he hasn't seen Kendall's blood work, she assumes if she's lean and maintains her weight, she could be doing worse.

Khloé really sums it up in her book, Strong Looks Better Naked: "I think most diets are torture, which is why I don't believe in them ... If I want a piece of cake one night, I'll have my piece of cake!" she writes.

See Top Recommended Weight Loss Foods For A Better Healthier Eye Sight

Some foods get all the credit: bananas for their potassium, kale as the leanest green and carrots for their eye-boosting abilities.

But beyond the ever-extolled eye superfood, carrots, there are many diet-friendly foods that are an asset to your waistline and a wonder for keeping your eyes healthy. To help you eat your way to better vision — without living on rabbit food — we reached out to Chip Goehring, Board President of the American Macular Degeneration Foundation (AMDF). Goehring, who was diagnosed with macular degeneration and told he might go blind 22 years ago, can still see, read and drive — a result he credits to science-backed foods and supplements. Inspired to help others, Goehring and AMDF’s Director of Special Projects had the idea to create Eat Right For Your Sight based on 20 years of the foundation’s research.

Add these double-duty weight loss foods that also protect your peepers to your diet with tips from Goehring for how to enjoy them deliciously.

1

EDAMAME

You’ll want to befriend this lean, green soybean stat. “Edamame is a complete protein that also contains omega-3 fatty acids, which support the healthy development of your brain, nerves and eyes,” says Goehring. And this mighty green bean is also a powerful weight loss ally. Upping your intake of plant foods like edamame decreases your risk of obesity, according to research. One of the most significant factors in the battle against the bulge is the fiber content of weight loss foods like soybeans. High fiber promotes feelings of fullness between meals, keeping you away from less healthy snacks, countless studies have shown. With 8 grams of fiber per cup, edamame is fiber-rich and calorie-low — a nutritional duo we can get behind. Goehring suggests sprinkling them in salads and using them in curries.

Tip

Try swapping out your fat-laden potato chips in favor of protein-packed dry-roasted edamame. It’s one of our favorite low-carb snacks and boasts an impressive 11 grams of protein per 100-calorie pack. Stash a couple at work to ward off the dreaded 3 pm slump.

2

OYSTERS

These slimy shellfish may not be proven to make you feel frisky, but science says they’ll help you build lean muscle and also protect your peepers. A 3-ounce serving clocks in under 90 calories and is a low-fat way to get a hearty dose of protein. Just one serving serves up 10 to 16 grams of the bicep-building nutrient. But that’s not all they have going for them. “In addition to being a great source of protein, oysters also have a lot of zinc. This mineral helps convert vitamin A, a vital nutrient for eye health, into a usable form and transport it through blood,” Goehring explains. “Recent studies also suggest that zinc can slow the progression of macular degeneration,” he adds.

Tip

“Fresh oysters simply grilled and topped with breadcrumbs and cheese are a treat for the palate and the eyes,” shares Goehring. For a more weight-loss friendly version of breadcrumbs, use whole-wheat bread, or swap the bread for walnuts. Simply place the desired amount of nuts in a ziploc bag and roll over with a rolling pin or pound down with a mallet until they reach desired consistency.

3

GRAPES

“Grapes contain anthocyanin, a name used for certain purple, blue or red antioxidants that may help boost collagen structure in the retina,” says Goehring. This protects your eyes and may help guard you against macular degeneration. And those same anthocyanins that help protect your eyes will help you see some weight loss wins thanks to their ability to inhibit inflammatory chemicals. In fact, women who consumed the most berries, grapes and red wine had lower levels of inflammation and insulin resistance, two factors that help ward off diabetes, than those who consumed less, according to recent research in The Journal of Nutrition. Dark grapes, which boast high amounts of ellagic acid, are a particularly good choice as they can spike fat burning in your body.

 Tip

Eat as many (natural) red and purple foods as you can. Buy frozen berries or pop your grapes and berries in the freezer before eating. The healthy antioxidants that boost eye health are found mainly in the skins of these fruits, and subjecting them to lower temperatures changes the structure and makes the healthy compounds more available, researchers say.

4

BUTTERNUT
SQUASH

Your skinny jeans and baby blues will both be happy with this choice. “Butternut squash is rich in carotenoids, which are a vital nutrient for eye growth and development,” explains Goehring. And when you’re craving a starchy side, but working to meet your weight loss goals, butternut squash should be your go-to. It easily transforms into a silky side with more vitamins and minerals and far fewer calories than butter-laden mashed potatoes or fatty mac and cheese.

Tip

“One of my favorite ways to serve it is as a roasted squash hummus dressed up with cilantro, walnuts and pomegranate seeds. Serve the hummus with warm whole-wheat tortillas as a healthy snack or appetizer,” Goehring suggests. It's also perfect for comforting soups. When looking to lose weight, you may have blacklisted creamy soups from your kitchen, but pureed butternut squash proves a great swap for calorie- and fat-laden butter and cream. It won’t add any fat to the recipe, but it will lend the velvety texture you crave without the calorie overdose.
