Don't Give Up
Have you tried every possible way to lose weight only to find
yourself at the same weight or even more? Losing weight can be
difficult at times because of misconceptions about food and how the
metabolism really works. Many foods that we think are low in calorie
are really not. We eat what we think is right, unaware of the hidden
fat and calories. Losing weight can seem impossible if you're not
aware of hidden fat.
You should never skip meals to lose weight. Eat
500 to 700 calories under your basic metabolic rate to properly lose
weight. Unfortunately, many sabotage their metabolism by not eating.
Too many people think the only way to lose weight is to skip meals
starting with breakfast. This practice is guaranteed to bring your
metabolism to a screeching halt! The best ways to increase your
metabolism does not come from pills but by eating smaller meals
through the day and regular exercise.
Millions waste their money on diet pills, herbs
and diet contraptions. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
clearly states that you should make a modest reduction in calories
and exercise more to lose weight. They also warn against using
dietary supplements that claim to trap fat, block fat absorption,
flush fat out of the body, raise metabolism or decrease your
appetite. Many of these supplements are dangerous to your health and
they don't work as advertised!
The good news is that you can lose weight by
eating great tasting foods through the day. The biggest
misconception is that you have to skip meals and eat "rabbit food"
to lose weight. Many people are surprised that you can make great
tasting homemade hamburgers made with lean beef, low fat cheese,
toppings and whole wheat bread for the same amount of calories and
less fat than a bowl of clam chowder. The trick is to modify what
you normally eat.
Read the labels on foods that you buy from the
grocery store. This will help you evaluate the amount of calories
and fat and give you better insight to planning meals. Don't believe
the hype, CALORIES DO MATTER!
A tuna or turkey sandwich from the deli shop can
have as many as 900 calories and 25 grams of fat because of the
mayonnaise or cheese. However, there are great low fat alternatives
if you like mayonnaise and cheese. You can quickly make a turkey
sandwich with light mayonnaise and low fat cheese that's only 300
calories with 6 grams of fat.
You don't have to give up all your favorite foods
to lose weight but you need a good diet plan. Avoid long period
between meals without eating. This will slow down your metabolism.
Manage your portion size and know the approximate amount of calories
you will be eating.
When your body loses fat it produces water which
may increase your weight during the first week or two of a new diet.
Have you ever been discourage because you did all the right things
only to get on the scale and discover that you didn't lose a pound?
That probably was due to the extra fluid which is a by-product of
losing fat.
