Weight Loss Tips And Tricks To Fit Your Busy Life
Losing weight is arguably the most popular New Year’s Resolutions people make. The percentage that are successful, however, can be disheartening and this is caused by lack of forethought and planning.
Don’t put unhealthy, tempting food in your home. If you do not bring home that tray of muffins, you will not have to face them every time you go into the kitchen. Instead of unhealthy choices, keep your kitchen cabinets stored with healthy food items that are very handy whenever you are hungry. Vegetables and fruits are optimal to keep in your fridge as they will fill you up with essential nutrients.
Eat a salad before the main course. Salads have fiber and they are filling, but don’t have lots of calories. Of course you have to not load up your salads with tons of dressings and cheeses.
Ditch the egg yokes if you want to lose weight. While yolks have benefits, they also contain a lot of fat and cholesterol. Egg whites are a great source of good protein.
It is hard to find someone who does not love the taste of french fries. They are the downfall of many a potential weight loser. However, it is possible to create “fries” that are good for you and won’t create havoc on your scales. To prepare, cut fries and toss with 1 tablespoon of oil and bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Release with your spatula, turn it over, then bake for an additional 10 minutes. They taste great dipped in ketchup and have far fewer calories than the deep fried variety. This great idea for “French Bakes” came from Laurel’s Kitchen cookbook.
You have given yourself a great start if you want to lose weight in the new year! Now you should have a good place to start with your weight loss plan and be on your way to a new and healthy you. Now you can be successful.
