Here are some weight
loss diet tips that can be followed anywhere, everyday:
1. Make a delicious low fat mayonnaise by combining one teaspoon of
Dijon mustard or satay sauce with a low fat yogurt.
2.
Do not skip meals. Skipping meals slicks the body into slowing down the
metabolism, attempting to conserve calories during a period where
limited fats and fuel are available. Remember that eating increases the
metabolism.
3. Stuff
vegetables like
capsicum and zucchini with flavored fillings or minced chicken, white
meat or fish. These are healthy and contain low fat.
4. Take pita
bread roll ups or wraps with salad fillings.
5.
Eight hours after waking up, our metabolism slows down that is why 30
minutes of exercise before dinner will increase the metabolism for
about two to three hours. This produces an increase in burned
fat
even hours after the work out is over.
6. Add
alfalfa or mung beans to salad to get extra iron.
7. Good
cooking and healthy eating begins with learning about nutrition and how
to prepare healthy recipes.
8.
Learn how to make the family favorite recipes and make sure that fats,
salt, and sugar are cut out. Substitute non-fat yogurt for cream,
stir-fry without oil and use herbs and spices instead of salt to taste.
9. Consult
the doctor before beginning an exercise or weight loss program.
10. Slowly
eat and chew each bite during meals as this would decrease one's
appetite.
11. Complete
three small meals and two snacks everyday instead of one or two huge
meals.
12. Use
chicken stock when stir-frying. This will cut down on hidden
fat.
13.
Buy non-toasted muesli instead of the toasted ones. A plate
of
toasted muesli contains more fat than a plate of bacon and eggs.
14.
As much as possible do not remove the skins of fruits and vegetables
since most of the nutrients are concentrated under the skin.
15.
Warm water with just a squeeze of lemon juice before breakfast get the
metabolism going for the day, this also help preventing constipation
and is excellent for the skin.
16. One of
the best sources of vegetable protein is from soya beans or tofu. All
legumes provide some protein, so include lentils, lima beans etc into
casseroles and soups.
17. Look for
a weight loss "buddy," club, or support mates. This will motivate you
to stay and enjoy your weight loss program.
18. Though
it's hard at first, try not eating 3 hours or more before bedtime.
19. Make
pasta a fast food choice - preparing a pasta meal or salad will only
take 10-12 minutes.
20. Chilli
helps to speed up metabolism - even the milder varieties.
21. Try
making omelettes without adding the yolks! A dramatic decrease in fat.
22.
Substitute
baking soda, baking powder, MSG and soya sauce in cooking.
23. Remove
fat by dropping ice cubes into the baking tray. Fat will stick to the
ice cubes.
24. Drinking
hot water instead of cold water in the morning can increase the speed
of your metabolism and burn more calories.
25.
Eat before you go food shopping and always prepare a shopping list.
Only buy food which relates to your weekly menu plan and don't be
tempted to buy goodies.
Make sure that the right
discipline is still practiced to promote consistency on the diet
plan. This will lead eventually to a healthy life-style and a
more fruitful living without the extra fat and extra pounds on the side.
