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.
