Healthy Diet Tips That Work

By Sandy Bacon

First rule: pay attention! Lose weight by first paying attention to the foods you eat eliminating unnecessary fats and sugary foods. Pay attention to the amount of food you eat. Keep your taste buds healthy eating delicious but intelligent choices.

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

You need to lose weight by keeping track of what you eat. Cut out fats by eliminating butter, margarine, mayonnaise, oil from your sandwiches and food preparations. You don't have to write down the calorie count, but write down what you eat.

Use skim milk and make a habit to drink tea. If you insist on using whole milk at least use two percent milk in your diet. This helps cutting down on your fat intake.

Be certain to include legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, chicken, fish, eggs or yogurt. Try to limit your sugar treats to a few times a week max. Eat one or more meatless lunches and dinners each week.

Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season. Instead of fruit juice for breakfast or snack, drink water. Add a slice of lemon or lime for zest. Include two servings of vegetables with lunch and dinner, for a total of at least four servings per day.

Eat a few servings of food using whole grains at each meal. Don't eat in front of the TV. Studies show that you eat larger portions of foods and snacks watching TV.

Chew your calories. Don't consume liquids swarming 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. - 17274
