Most of us are looking for easy ways to loose
weight. Well, here today we will talk about how to do just that. It
might not be as hard as you might think. We all have friends who pack
on the double patty burgers with two extra large fries each day. After
they swallow this, they will go onto eating a whole bag of candy and
wash it down with a half gallon of milk. Sound like some of your
college buddies? Through out the day, we get thirsty. All living
creatures do. What do you turn for most often? Sodas, we all do it.
Why? Because they are easy to get and they taste good. Who can turn
down a sweet drink after a jog in the sun?
 Well,
you shouldn't be doing that. There is two reasons why. One is because
it is wasted calories. You don't get anything back from the soda. You
might get some pep from the caffeine, but that is about it. You
might get a slight sugar rush, but it won't be anything that last. The
second reason is, because we are slightly hungry. We aren't hungry
enough to go get something to eat, but a drink will satisfy us enough
to our next meal.
Instead of drinking sodas all day long, drink juice. More specifically,
juice with the pulp in it. I know what you are thinking. There is more
of a purpose to this than moving your bowels. We all have had a bit of
a problem in the bathroom department and have ran for the juice with
the pulp in it. Juice with the pulp in it will fill you up. Unlike
sodas, there is something actually there to curb your hunger. You will
drink less because you will get full. Try it, you will be surprised.
Always stick to wheat bread. Don't eat the white stuff. Whole wheat
products are known to stabilize blood sugar levels. This mean you won't
get hungry as fast. This is an easy way to curb your hunger.
Here are some tips you can use when making sandwiches.
Avoid cheese. We put way to
much cheese on everything these days. I won't be surprised if some day
they make a cheese covered soda can. This is a heart attack waiting to
happen. There is no reason to eat this much cheese. One of the ways you
can cut down on the amount of cheese you eat is by shredding the
cheese. Use the shredded cheese instead of cheese slices. You can cover
the same amount of area, with less cheese. You can also do this on
salads as well.
Cut down on the mayo.
I would suggest that you cut this completely out. I know some guys who
put so much mayo on their sandwiches, I can't see how they eat them. I
can't see how they can taste anything but the mayo. A good suggestion
to do it, sprinkle a little of Italian dressing on the sandwich. Just
enough so you can taste it. This will really cut down on the fat. Also,
if you make your own, you can control how much oil is in the dressing.
Cut down on bread.
If you are going out to eat and the waiter drops a bread basket on the
table, push it away. Don't eat the bread. The more carbs you can get
away from the better. Cut out the silly snacks. Don't fill up on potato
chips between meals. Instead grab an apple or some veggie sticks. You
will be amazed at how good they are once you give them a chance. I love
green peppers sprinkled with a little salt. I will take these any day
over potato chips.
Stay away from fatty cuts of meat.
Don't go to the store and buy the most fatty cuts of pork you can get.
Take it home and trim the fat off of it if you have to. There are tons
of ways you can cook lean meat so that it isn't dry. That is why most
people like the fat in the meat, it adds juice. Also with spices, you
can fix the problem of not having the flavor that fat adds.
Stay away from too much dairy.
No need to get full of ice cream that is full of fat. Instead if you
must consume it, go for the low fat versions. Try to get flavors with a
lot of fruit in them or add your own fruit. You won't notice the
missing fat if you add some flavor to it. Avoid frying stuff. Learn how
to bake, broil and steam your foods. You will be surprised at how much
fat frying adds to the dish. Sure it tastes better, but it won't help
your waist any.
There you have it. Those don't sound too hard do they? I'm sure after you repeat them after awhile, they will get easy to do. |
