Let’s
get started right away with tips 1-5… Other Tips HERE FOR GUIDE: Your weight loss is closer than you
think!
Repeat the following mantra: Vegetables are my friends. Vegetables are my friends. Vegetables are my
friends. When it comes to losing pounds, there is no doubt: Vegetables are
your best friends. Nature offers you a nutritious and delicious spread of low-to-no-calorie
treats for every meal of your day.
Whether in a side dish, a salad, a snack, or the
main show, take the vegetables with you, even when you’re on the go. And
remember: Fresh, uncooked vegetables are better for you than cooked or canned
vegetables. Cooked vegetables lose nearly half of their vitamins.
It’s happened to everybody, including you. You’re
driving down the street and see the fast food joint. In one ear, you hear, “Eat
Intelligently, Live Well, Lose the Weight.” In your other ear, you hear “French
Fries, Grease, Mayonnaise, Mmmm.”
Never eat
something simply because you see it in front of you. Always ask yourself whether your body really needs
what you’re about to put into it. When you’ve achieved your weight loss goal
through intelligent eating, you’ll wonder how you ever lived any differently.
Watch what you eat. Literally. Be on the lookout
for those sneaky garnishes, sauces, side dishes, and desserts. They may seem
harmless enough, but often, they’re loaded with excess fat and empty calories.
If you love the mayonnaise, the salad dressing, or
the sprinkle of cheese - be sure to keep it low or no fat. The excuse that you
“didn’t know the hamburger came with mayonnaise” won’t cut it anymore. When
you’re looking for calories to cut, be sure to look under every bun!
If you have a sweet tooth, you know how difficult
it is to give up your candy craving of choice. Whether it’s cupcakes, ice
cream, chocolate, or even chocolate cupcake ice cream, the key is not always
complete denial but learning to control your craving.
If a low calorie, low fat alternative exists for
your favorite treat, indulge with moderation for a special occasion. And
remember to always be gentle with yourself. You are on a path to a newer,
better, healthier you - treat yourself sweetly, and the path will be that much kinder
to you in the long run.
Set a standard time that you will eat each of your
main meals every day. Fixing a time will allow your body to establish a regular
routine and create an ideal situation for your metabolism to do what it needs
to do to help you lose weight.
If you miss your times by more than 30 minutes,
your body will begin to get confused. You’ll either find yourself at a loss of
appetite or have that famished feeling - both of which will eventually find you
stuffing yourself with more than is required the next time you eat. To give
yourself all the tools you need to achieve your weight loss goals, set a meal
time and stick to it!
