I had a nutritionist for a long time, because I wasn't eating enough and needed to change my lifestyle to be healthy. You don't need to diet, just eat responsibly and exercise. For example little things you can do:
When ordering a sandwich get no mayo and swiss cheese or provolone cheese (low in fat/carbs).
No whip cream on starbucks and use nonfat or lowfat milk
Drink loads of water instead of soda, juice or BEER..lol
No food other than fruits and veggies past 7pm
snack a lot and have lots of little meals instead of 2-3 big ones
When eating out, avoid the foods that have a lot of cheese, salt, are fried or are fattening.
Instead of eating candy reach for dried fruit or nuts
Instead of chips, eat healthy crackers or natural popcorn
Just some ideas here, good luck. |
Thanks for the advice. I know it is a lifestyle change that I need. In Oct. I will be ast this desk job for 5 yrs. and 5 yrs. ago is when I started gaining weight. I'm eating a yogurt instead of my normal candy bar and things like that now also... This job has just made me lazy and I am trying to be more active now. If I actually just started walking for the hour and day and stay buzy on on weekends then I know I would loose weight without having to diet as extreme as I am but I want the weight off b/4 the 30th. and then I'll try to keep up the walking and yogurt for my snacks... Sorry gals, but I can't loose my weekend Beers.....That's just a must for me, or now that I think about it, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Crown Royal and Coke...... Maybe I need to check and see what the fat is in crown and diet coke...
