Lose Weight Using These Diet Tips

By Robert MacGuiness

Get ready to lose 10 pounds! By paying attention to the amount of food you eat, eliminating unnecessary sugar and fat from your foods and making sure you include absolutely delicious meals and snacks to keep your taste buds happy.

Most easy-to-use weight loss programs use a balanced and flexible diet. Prepare to, however, first by focusing on losing the first 10 pounds and then shoot for the next 10 pounds.

Most weight loss programs insist you keep track of every bit of food you eat or drink. Start by writing down everything you eat. No need to write down the calorie count but start not putting margarine or butter on toast, vegetables and sandwiches. Use less oil in food as well as cooking.

If you're not currently using skim milk, reduce the level of fat content in the milk you use. For example, if you currently use two percent, use only one percent. If you insist on whole milk, try two percent. And drink tea.

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 restrict 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.

Choose one to two servings of foods made from whole grains with every meal. Shut off the TV whenever you eat meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!

Choose calories you can chew that means only calorie-free beverages (except for milk). Sodas are teeming with empty calories, and fruit juices provide less fiber and vitamins per calorie than the fruit they're made from. Plan ahead for meals and snacks so you know exactly what you plan to eat. Last-minute choice tends to be higher in calories and lower in satisfaction. - 17274
