Healthy Weight Loss
Change your Lifestyle

There is a famous quote that always sticks in my mind by Jack Lalane which is

"How do you build up your bank account? By putting something in it everyday. Your health account is no different. What I do today, I am wearing tomorrow. If I put inferior foods in my body today, I'm going to be inferior tomorrow, it's that simple. "
Dieting can be one of those things that frustrates many people, at first we can be all gun ho, but after a few days of not eating what we are accustomed to, the frustration becomes tougher and tougher and eventually we just give up.

Dieting does not have to be that way, especially if we look at it as not dieting, you see dieting is what kills things right off, especially if we have a preconception of our weight loss goals.

Eat the right things

Yes, we can eat good foods that are satisfying, the most important thing here is to watch the small details of the food you eat. If you do , you will be amazed at how soon you will begin to shed a few pounds.

For example a home cooked hamburger which is grilled, instead of loading it down with mayonnaise and other fattening condiments, why not garnish it with tomatoes and lettuce or instead of that basic enriched white hamburger bun, try a whole wheat bun or wheat bread, but if you must have the white bread, why not try just using half of it and top your burger off with a fresh leaf of lettuce.

Grilling vs Frying

Why not do it on the BBQ instead of fried chicken,why not grilled chicken basted with a little Worcestershire sauce and maybe some beer mixture , instead of breaded fish why not cook or broil some fresh fish sauteed in a little olive oil and white wine. This can all be done and even taste better, not only will you feel better the next day, you will have achieved less calories in your daily diet intake.

Avoid the fries and chips, be creative. Instead of processed french fries, slice up some fresh potatoes baste them lightly with some tropical fruitssalt, olive oil a little garlic and pepper and broil them in the oven.

The main thing when focusing on healthy weight loss is looking for a workaround for those bad foods we crave, avoid mayonnaise, heavy creams and white starches, go for the all wheat and unprocessed foods. Try to eliminate sodas and stick to water or even consider making some fresh fruit drinks from fresh fruits that are in season. A fresh papaya in the blender with water and some Splenda can make a refreshing drink as well as strawberries, raspberries or whatever else is in season.

Healthy Weight Loss

Set your goals and keep them. Weight loss should be slow, it takes a while to put the weight on so taking off will not be instant. Just use some common sense and before your know it your weight should be down to a manageable one.

Weight Plateaus or sticking points

Some people need extra help when losing weight, many will lose weight quickly when initially cutting back on certain foods, but after a period of time many will reach a sticking point where the weight loss stops. When this happens certain supplements can help. There are many supplements on the market such as fat binders which can help reduce fat in your body or fat burners which can increase the burning of fat by helping accelerate a persons metabolism.
