Weight loss guide

Here is a great weight loss guide that gives you some useful suggestions

• Forget about dieting. In the long term, dieting does not work. It has been seen that 90 to 95% of dieters regain their weight back as they stop dieting.


• Make changes in your life style and try to leave a healthier life. A healthier lifestyle includes not only food but exercise also.


• Try to reduce the fat intake. It is not as difficult as it sounds. Some simple things include topping pancakes with fresh fruit, applesauce, or nonfat yogurt instead of butter and syrup. Take egg whites instead of whole eggs. Take all fruit jam instead of butter in the bread. Take thin-crust, vegetarian, single-cheese pizza; order fat free chips. Use lemon juice on the vegetables instead of butter.


• It is not a great idea to skip meals. As when you get hungry you take a lot of food, which mostly includes high fat things.


• Keep a report of what, when and where you eat. Analyze this report at the end of each week. Keep on working for alternative food choices or activities.


• Keep patience. Do not try to lose five pounds in a week. The more fast you try to lose weight the more disappointed as you will end up gaining weight again. It is a great idea to lose weight slowly. If you lose weight slowly, you are most likely to keep it off. If you lose half to one pound in a week that is really a great achievement.


• Don't deprive yourself. Eating one high-fat food at one meal isn't going to make or break your weight. What you eat regularly is what counts.


• Do not eat your food while you are watching TV, reading, or doing some activity. If you eat food with some other activities, you are not going to have the real taste of food. So give some time to your food at least.
