So you have decided on your weight loss program and you are excited and ready to get started, anticipating how you will look in your smaller sized clothes and how great you will feel. You are looking forward to a new surge of energy and you are confident that you are going to be able to stick with the new program and lose the weight.
The only thing better than meeting your optimum weight loss goal is increasing your impending weight loss or doubling it, reaching your goal that much sooner- possibly even in half the time. You can choose from a few different options to give your weight loss program that extra boost. Very little extra effort and double the payoff, and here are the tips to help you do just that.
Choose the methods that are right for you to kick your weight loss program into high gear:
- If you are not currently using low fat or skim milk, switch to one of the two. This will cut calories and fat and you won't miss them.
- Eat at least two servings of your favorite fresh fruit every day. Fruit is filling and the sugar in the fruit can arrest cravings for sweets.
- Have at least one meatless lunch and dinner each week to reduce fat. Also not having a meat entrée helps you to build your meals more around vegetables and whole grains.
- Cut your sugar snacks down to three or four times a week maximum.
- Do not eat in front of the television. Studies have proven that not only do we eat larger portions when in front of the tv, we also tend to select foods higher in sugar and fat.
- Use the half method. Half your fat intake. Use half as much butter, half the oil you would normally use to cook, half the mayonnaise you put on your sandwich, and half the peanut butter you would normally use are good examples.
- Choose good sources of proteins for your meals such as fish, cottage cheese, eggs, chicken, legumes or yogurt are all good selections.
- Have two servings of vegetables with lunch and dinner each. This will help to cut down on higher fat food portions such as red meat.
- Include one or two portions of foods made from whole grains with every meal.
When you are on a weight loss program, it is always a good idea to plan your meals ahead of time so you have an organized approach and are less likely to slip when you are stuck with an unplanned, last minute decision.
These extra steps in conjunction with your diet program will put you on the fast track to your weight loss goals, and you can lose the weight in record time.
