Top secrets to lose weight suggest you keep track of everything you eat and drink. No need to estimate calories just write down the type of food or beverage and the amount. Cut your fat intake in half, that means half as much margarine or butter on toast, vegetables and your muffin, half the mayonnaise on your sandwich, and half the oil in the pan when you saute foods. You get the idea!
Cut down in your fat intake by cutting out whole milk. Use skim milk or if you’re hooked on whole milk, use 2 percent milk.
Be certain to include legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, chicken, fish, eggs or yogurt. Try to draw the limits on your sugar treats to a few times a week max. Eat one or more meatless lunches and dinners each week.
Eat fresh in season fruit twice a day. Stay away and draw the boundaries on sugary fruit juices and have water or drink tea instead. Add a slice of lemon for some zest if you like. Eat more vegetables with lunches and dinner so you have at least 4 servings a day.
Kill the thought the eating food or snacks while watching TV. Many studies show that people watching TV and eating tend to eat more and opt for higher calorie snacks high in fat and sugar.
Chew your calories. Don’t consume liquids teeming with calories by drinking them. That means cutting out soda and high-calorie fruit juices and drinking tea or water instead. Plan ahead what you are going to eat. Last-minute planning tends to veer you off your diet.
