Tips for winning the battle and losing the weight:
Treat yourself to one tasty low-calorie treat each week. Make it a special day such as every Friday, treat yourself to a low-calorie treat that you crave but don’t dare normally eat while on a diet.
Choose water as your beverage of choice at meals because it is amazing how many calories in soda (245 a day) when you are not watching what you drink. In a year of drinking soda you can easily put on 25 pounds.
When you start your diet, carry around a pocket-sized notebook for an entire week recording every food that you put into your mouth and every drink. Calculate all the calories that you have consumed that week and you might be surprised at just how many calories you really take in every week. Now do the same thing but before you start the next week’s diary, know how many calories you are suppose to eat. If you know how many calories you are supposed to eat you will be more careful about what you put into your mouth. Studies have shown that if you record everything you put into your mouth you are likely to eat 15% less.
If you find it difficult to be physically active try putting a pedometer on your belt, and have a goal of 5,000 steps each day.
Eat 5 or 6 smaller meals each day instead of 3 large meals. Space these meals about 4 to 5 hours apart.
Walk for at least 45 minutes each day. Take the dog for a walk. Walk around the park with a good friend. If you can walk briskly for 45 minutes a day in a year you will have lost 30 pounds!
Go with the color blue because studies show that the color blue is an appetite suppressant. Take advantage of this by serving your meals on blue paper plates, or use a blue tablecloth. When painting your kitchen or dining room stay away from the colors orange, red and yellow because in studies these colors encourage eating.
