The Top 13 Weight Loss Tips

Get ready to lose 10 pounds!

By paying attention to the amount of food you eat, eliminating
unnecessary sugar and fat from your foods and making sure you
include absolutely delicious meals and snacks to keep your
taste buds happy.

Use this easy-to-follow and super healthy diet plan to lose the
first 10, the last 10, or any 10 in between! Because it’s a
balanced and flexible program, you can stay on this diet as
long as it takes.

Top Fast Secrets

1. Keep track of everything you eat and drink. No need to
estimate calories – just write down the type of food or
beverage and the amount.

2. Cut your fat intake in half, that means half as much
margarine or butter on toast, vegetables and your muffin, half
the mayonnaise on your sandwich, and half the oil in the pan
when you saute foods. You get the idea!

3. Limit the sugar treats to three times per week maximum.

4. Include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish,
legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.

5. Eat at least one meatless lunch and dinner each week to
reduce fat, increase fiber, and get yourself into the habit of
building meals around whole grains, beans and vegetables.

6. If you’re not currently using skim milk, go down to the
level of fat content in the milk you use. For example, if you
currently use two percent, use only one percent. If you insist
on whole milk, try two percent.

7. Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose
whatever type of fruit is in season.

8. Instead of fruit juice for breakfast or snack, drink water.
Add a slice of lemon or lime for zest.

9. Include two servings of vegetables with lunch and dinner,
for a total of at least four servings per day.

10. Choose one to two servings of foods made from whole grains
with every meal.

11. Shut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and
snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions
when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods
are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!

12. Choose calories you can chew – that means only calorie-free
beverages (except for milk) Sodas are loaded with empty
calories, and fruit juices provide less fiber and vitamins per
calorie than the fruit they’re made from.

13. Plan ahead for meals and snacks so you know exactly what
you plan to eat. Last-minute choice tends to be higher in
calories and lower in satisfaction.
