Dating in this modern world of swiping apps, endless men dropping into inboxes with their junk on display can make it easy to fall into the guarded trap. Whether you are using an online dating site or good old fashioned meet up through someone you both know, you will need to be honest. From profile photos to expressing your interests, you will super boost your dating game just by being honest. Your date will have a much better impression of who they will be dating. It will save you both more time than going on a date and realizing you having nothing in common. Human beings have a tendency to ramble about themselves, especially when they first meet someone new. Being a great listener, taking time to digest what has been said not only leaves a lasting impression on your date but gives you clues to whether you would like a second date with this person.

Relationships are usually built on people with a common interest, you will never know who they are or whether you are compatible if you aren't listening to what is being said. There is something safe about sitting behind your phone screen. Not being accountable for your actions builds confidence. Translating that confidence in your dating game may be more difficult. Everyone is nervous on their first date. The fear of the unknown and the excitement of potentially meeting your life partner may leave your nerves feeling frazzled. Showing off your best assets, dressing well and exuding confidence will most certainly up your dating game hugely. Do not invite someone you do not know to your house or private space and do not go to theirs. Set up your date in a well lit public venue. Arrange your own transport to and from the date. You are well within your rights to respectfully decline rides home or invitations to their place. Putting these plans in place will ensure you have one less thing to worry about and you can get on with your date. There is no such thing as a perfect man. We are not telling you to settle for someone completely incompatible. Being open-minded and uncritical gives your date the impression that you are really interested in getting to know them, not just interested in their appearance. The dating game is tough enough without being hypercritical. Be open and honest with your partner. If you are hoping to eventually move past dating and into a relationship, setting boundaries early will let your prospective partner know exactly where you stand. Having the confidence to express your absolute limitations is a great way to build a strong foundation for any future relationship. We understand the dating world, both online and face to face is daunting. Finding your new partner and building a relationship with them is just around the corner.
You've set your course for weight control. You've used the USDA Dietary Guidelines to determine how many calories you need to eat and how many you need to burn to drop the pounds. You've successfully assessed your dietary intake and physical activity routine. You've adopted a new food pattern to eat fewer calories. You've even set goals to be more active. Now it's time for a little finessing. This article offers the practical tips and advice from the USDA that will help you successfully modify your behavior so you eat fewer calories and become more active. Some of the tips may be familiar; these will reinforce what you already know. But this article is chock-full of new tips, too, and these will be your inspiration for cutting your calories. Before you start, remember to try just a few new strategies at a time. Practice them until they become routine or automatic, then pick a few new ones and do the same.
Your habits shape your daily behavior, so work toward gradually internalizing as many smart calorie-cutting habits as possible. Portion Distortion: Consumers are finally recognizing that portions have become increasingly larger over the last decade or so. It's been a gradual increase, and we've adjusted our expectations accordingly. But this trend for larger portions has wreaked havoc with our waistlines. As restaurants and food manufacturers increase the size of their portions and single-serving foods, calorie consumption has climbed and 2775&pyt=multi&po=6533&aff_sub5=SF_006OG000004lmDN so have the rates of overweight and obesity. Once you realize that you're accustomed to eating much larger amounts than you should, you can retrain yourself by shrinking your portions. Smaller portions automatically mean fewer calories. Serve smaller portions than normal. Cut them down by one-third at first. If you ate very large portions before starting your weight-loss journey, eventually cut your portion size in half. Avoid food portions larger than your fist (except for veggies!).
Use a smaller plate, such as a salad plate instead of a dinner plate, so that small portions look generous. Spread out your portions, rather than piling them up, so they take up more room on your plate and look bigger. Avoid putting serving bowls on the table. That makes it harder to have seconds. If you do have seconds, choose the lowest-calorie foods. Fill up on the vegetables and salad with low-fat dressing -- or no dressing at all. Discontinue your membership in the "clean plate club." Don't finish all the food on your plate. Either save it for another time or throw it away. Next time, take a smaller portion. Eat half a sweet treat, pastry, or dessert. Share your piece with someone else or save it for another time. You still get to enjoy the flavors you like, with only half the calories! Keep your portion size from growing unintentionally.
