“Top Thirty Weight Loss Tips and Tricks”
|
1. Never leave home "starving." Always have a light snackbefore eating dinner in a restaurant, such as a piece offruit, a glass of juice or a carrot.
2. Don't go food shopping on an empty stomach! You'll betempted to buy everything in sight.
3. Don't be tempted by treats. Store them out of view, offcounter-tops and as out-of-reach as possible.
4. Don't eat in front of the TV. Watching the boob tube --instead of watching your plate -- lulls you intoovereating. Also avoid being tempted by food and snackcommercials.5. Make it a rule in your house to confine your meals tothe dining room or kitchen table! Never eat standing up!This leads to mindless snacking.
6. Think before you drink. Alcohol adds lots of calories,but no nutrients. Also, it weakens your willpower to avoidthe wrong food choices. Hangovers can cause wicked cravingsfor fatty or high carbohydrate foods that can sabotage anyattempt at weight loss.
7. Fill up on soup first. Begin every meal with non-creamhot soup; it forces you to eat slowly and fills you up soyou won't overeat.
8. Take time to taste your food. Don't gobble food down!Rushing through your meals doesn't give your brain the timethat it needs to signal your body that you are full.
9. When dining out, request sauces and low-caloriedressings on the side.
10. There is no law that requires you to finish everythingon your plate.
11. Prepare a shopping list (with menu ideas in mind) andstick to the list. Avoid being tempted by bargains thatgrocery stores place on the outer aisles and at the backand the front of the store. The healthiest foods areusually in the long narrow aisles.
12. Use non-stick pans to reduce the need for cooking withfat.
13. If you must use oil, try a flavorful one like olive orsesame oil. Now remember, a little goes a long way! Makejust a spritz of oil go even further by buying a Misto. AMisto is an aerosol can that you can fill with a good fatsuch as olive or canola oil.
14. A pinch of grated cheese or blue cheese will provide aflavorful kick without adding a lot of calories to a salador grain dish.
15. If you cook in large quantities for your family, storeleftovers in individual serving size containers. This is away to practice portion control for yourself so you don'teat too much at one sitting.
16. Nibbling off someone else's plate may seem harmless --but those calories do add up!
17. Drink six to eight glasses of water a day. A beveragebefore mealtime will also help you feel full faster andlonger. Water also helps your body digest food, which isespecially important now that you're eating a fiber richdiet.
18. Store really tempting treats in opaque containers orsilver foil -- and stick them in the back of therefrigerator. Out of sight out of mind!
19. Are you stuffing yourself? If you have to loosen yourbelt a few notches after meals you're definitely eating toomuch!
20. Mashed bananas, prunes and apple sauce are great bakingsubstitutes for fat, especially in bread, brownie and cakemixes.
21. When you choose to eat "fast food," choose wisely: skipfried foods; avoid large portions; and opt for a smallhamburger.
22. Saute foods, if possible, in chicken stock, low-sodiumsoy sauce or water, instead of fat.
23. When cooking, broil, bake, roast, boil or stir-fry andlet the fat drain. A George Foreman grill is an excellentinvestment for those who want to eat meat and avoid eatingthe fat drippings too!
24. Sauces and soups can be thickened with a puree ofpotatoes instead of cream.
25. Instead of eating any product directly out of the box,pour a reasonable portion onto a plate or bowl, and put thebox away. This also prevents mindless snacking.
26. If a recipe calls for half a cup of oil, cut that amountin half, your taste buds won't know the difference -- butyour waistline will.
27. Add spice to your life instead of fat; fresh herbs willperk up any dish without adding calories. Experiment withdifferent ethnic foods and seasonings; they're full offlavor -- not fat.
28. Freeze leftovers immediately so you can't raid therefrigerator later.
29. Watch portion size by dishing out meals and bringingplates to the table. Don't set "bottomless" bowls andplatters where they'll tempt you to reach for more, unlessit's a salad or a bowl of vegetables. You can never getenough of those greens.
30. Start saving for that new outfit now! When you reachyour goal weight, you can buy yourself some fashionable newclothes!
