For breakfast, my parents swear by only having fruits or juices until noon. This habit arose from the health book Fit for Life. Its weight loss diet plan dictates that when your body is free from heavy food stuffs in the morning, it can do its job of digesting more efficiently for the rest of the day. Studies have also shown that having lots of fibre in the morning helps one to eat less for the entire day. I guess this method works for them as they still maintain enviable figures despite behind in their mid fifties.
Secondly, there is no point in watching what you eat for your weight loss diet plan when you are guzzling down calorie in your drinks! Need a coffee to jumpstart your morning. Find out how much weight you have been putting on, indulging in your habit and that is sufficient to jolt you awake. The calories in Starbucks Café Latte fattens you up with 180 calories. A serving of Coke lends you about 150calories whilst a canned drink sets you back about 130calories, Substitute all other kinds of drinks to water and you cut down a substantial part of your calorie intake.
What if you absolutely will die without having junk food? Allow yourself a daily but small quota of junk so that you do not go cold turkey. This allows for desserts, but it entails sticking to low fat alternatives for your main meal: a soupy dish over a deep-fried ones. It will also help to simply keep temptations away! Who can resist a bag of cookies or a tub of ice cream seating in your freezer screaming ‘ Eat me!’ Thus go through the food in your house and thrash the junk (hmm.. no.. give it to the neighbours as a sign of goodwill) and of course, remember not to get even more fattening treats when you go grocery shopping.
What you consume and drink outside your usual meals is extremely important in reaching your weight loss goal. Avoid processed food whenever possible. Go for unprocessed healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables that are the best in any diet.
