Weight Loss Made Easy
A weight loss program is a wise and healthy decision if you are obese or overweight.
A few helpful hints that may make the weight loss plan a little easier and give you an edge in the never ending battle:
1.Drink a glass or ice cold water as soon as you sit down for your meal. Or, enjoy a bowl of broth-based soup just before your entree.
2.Before having your meal, about 30 minutes before, precede your meal with an apple, raw vegetables or a salad with reduced fat dressing. Doing so will curb your appetite and give your diet a fiber boost. Remember, fiber is your best friend in this weight loss battle.
3. Keep your blood sugar (and your appetite) at an even keel all day long by not going any longer than 5 hours without having something to eat. Keep celery sticks, carrots, bell pepper strips close at hand for munchies. The crispy crunch helps weight loss by giving you a psychological boost.
4.Eat multiple, healthy mini meals throughout the day rather than a few large ones. This does mean a candy bar! We are talking fruits and veggies here.
5.Eat a carb and protein-comprised snack 1 to 2 hours before your meal. For example, reduced fat cheese and crackers or cereal with low-fat yogurt.
6.Avoid overeating due to emotions by talking to a counselor or close friend, or keeping a journal. Or, log on to a message board or chat room you enjoy to get support from your “virtual” friends. If those are not available, take a 30 minute walk.
7.Exercise! When you feel a binge coming on, exercise is a great way to elevate your mood and get your mind of food. It also relieves stress. weight loss is never an easy project. Protect your emotional self with plenty of exercise.
8.When dining out, ask your server to package up half of your entree in to-go container when he brings your meal. Chances are you won’t open that container and eat the rest there and then. Think about how many times you may have done this without realizing you just one a round in the weight loss battle by eating half the calories you normally would have.
