Part 1 of 4
Here are some more helpful tips on losing weight.
11. Watch what you eat.
Keep a watchful eye on every thing that goes in.
Sometimes the garnishes can be richer than the food itself.
Accompaniments too can be very rich.
Quit snacking in between meals. Do not fall for snacks in between meals. This is especially
true for those who have to travel a lot. They feel that the only time they can get a bite to eat
is snacks and junk food. The main problem with most snacks and junk food is that they are
usually less filling and contain a lot of fat and calories. French fries are tempting but very
fattening.
12. Try to stick to black tea/coffee.
Black tea or coffee can actually be good
for you. But personally I would like to recommend tea rather than coffee.
The caffeine in the coffee is not really good for you because it is an alkaloid
and can affect other functions of your body like the metabolism.

13. Stay away from fried foods.
Fried foods are fried in oil or fat. And even if the external oil is drained away,
there is still a lot of hidden oil in it so stay away from it.
14. Avoid chocolate.
Chocolates are not or at least they should not be a part
of your diet. So do not indulge too much in them. Even the bitter chocolates
are not good for you because though the sugar is less there is still the
cream in them.
15. 50 to 55% of your diet should be carbohydrates.
It is a myth that you should try and avoid carbohydrates when you are on a diet.
Carbohydrates are a ready source of energy. 25 to 30% of your diet
should be proteins. Various processes and activities are going on in our
bodies.
16. Add Protein to Your Diet.
Things are broken down and being built up again. Resistance has
to be built up, recovery from disease too is needed and for all this the
body needs plenty of proteins so make sure that 25 to 30 % of your diet
consists of proteins.
17. Fats should only be 15 to 20 %.
Do not skip meals. The worst things you can do while watching you diet is skip a meal. It has
just the opposite effect of what you want. You need to have at least four regular meals every
day.
18. Try and adopt a vegetarian diet.
A vegetarian diet is undoubtedly better for those of us watching our diet. There are a lot of
advantages of keeping to a vegetarian diet but I don’t want to sing an ode to vegetarianism
now. What I would suggest is keep to a vegetarian diet as much as you
can. Make a non- vegetarian diet a week end event or something if you
find it impossible to give up eating all those animals.
19. Try to have breakfast within one hour of waking.
It’s always best to have breakfast within an hour of waking so that your body can charge itself
with the energy it needs for the day. The idea is not to wait for your self to get
really hungry. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day but that does
not mean that it should be the most filling meal of the day.
20. Control that sweet tooth.
Remember that sweet things generally mean more calories. It is natural that we have
cravings for sweet things especially chocolates and other confectionary. Go easy on
theses things and each time you consume something sweet understand that it is going
to add on somewhere.
Fresh vegetables are better than cooked or canned vegetables. Try to eat your vegetables
raw. When you cook them, you are in fact taking away nearly half the
vitamins in them. And canned vegetables too are processed and are not nearly half as good
as fresh vegetables.

21. Choose a variety of foods from all food groups every day. Change the
items included in your diet every day.
22. Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day instead of three large meals. It is an
excellent way of having smaller quantities of food.
23. Fix times to have meals and stick to it.
Try to have food at fixed times of the day. You can stretch these times
by half an hour, but anything more than that is going to affect your eating
pattern, the result will either be a loss of appetite or that famished feeling which
will make you stuff yourself with more than what is required
24. Eat only when you are hungry.
Some of us have the tendency to eat whenever we see food. We use parties as
an excuse to stuff our selves. Understand that the effect of a whole week of
dieting can be wasted by just one day’s party food. Whenever you are offered
something to eat do not decline it completely just eat less of it.
There are safe and effective products out there that will allow you to control your appetite thereby eating a lot less , lower your caloric intake and naturally lose weight.
This is a link to a website that has a product that many of my readers have used to control their appetite and have lost as much as 20 pounds in as little as 30 days.
They have a money back guarantee so you have nothing to lose but lots of weight.

25. Snack on vegetables if you must.
You might get the pangs of hunger in between meals. It is something that you
can very well control. Or even better, try munching on carrots. They are an
excellent way to satisfy those hungry pangs and are good for your eyes and teeth.
26. Never eat more than 1 egg a day.
Eggs are not such a bright idea. It would be best to reduce your intake of eggs
to maybe three in a week. But for those of you die hard egg fans, you may have
up to one egg a day but nothing more than that.
27. Alcoholic beverages too are not good for you.
Beer can be fattening and the rest of the alcoholic drinks may not be fattening
by themselves but after a couple of swigs you will be in no position to watch your
diet and your appetite too will be something to battle with.
28. Choose white meat rather than red which includes fish and fowl, is
better than red meat, which includes beef and pork for those trying to
lose weight.
29. Limit your sugar intake.
If you can’t have things un-sweetened go for sugar substitutes. These thing
s are just as sweetening but are certainly not fattening.
30. Watch your fat intake. Each fat gram contains 9 calories so by reading the total calories on a food and
knowing the quantity of fat, you can estimate
You can always incorporate an appetite suppressant to help you.
