Eat Well And Lose Weight

Change your diet to start shedding the extra pounds.


Working out is not always necessary to weight loss. Often, changing your diet is enough to shed the pounds. If you have not exercised for a long period of time, gradually change your diet and start introducing easier exercises, that you can fit into your daily life. Eating low-fat foods, fruits and vegetables will help you reach your weight loss goals.


Instructions


1. Reduce your daily caloric intake. Check the package of the food you purchase for calorie counts. The more calories you eat, the more fat your body will store.


2. Create a healthy meal plan for the entire week ahead, using the low-fat-recipe book of your choice. Make note of the calories of the individual meals.


3. Swap full-fat or high-calorie products to lighter options. Try skimmed milk, leaner cuts of meat, light butter or olive oil and low-fat cheese.


4. Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Skip the biscuit after breakfast or lunch, and have an apple or banana. According to Net Doctor, eating one extra biscuit a week for a year, can make you gain five pounds.


5. Drink more water. Put less sugar in your tea or coffee and skip the juice and sodas.


6. Eat smaller servings, five times a day, at the same time. Do not eat before you go to bed and stop snacking on your way to work, when you watch television, or while you sit in front of your computer.
