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.
