What should I eat?
I cannot tell you what to eat. I can however give you a few pointers. Instead of frying your food, bake it.
- Baking meats, veggies, etc will help cutback fat.
- Baking will help drain the fat out of the food rather than if you fried the food.
- Fried foods mean fat, fat, fat and can harm your heart as well as your waistline.
- Eat three times a day breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- Eat plenty of raw vegetables, fruits and salads.
- If you enjoy chocolates or sweets, find substitutes.
- Yogurts may offer you a new taste as well as reduce your risks, especially if you choose the fat-free groups.
- Try to stay away from fast foods.
- Fast food has obesity written all over its menu.
- Heart attacks follow.
- If you enjoy dining out, then find family owned restaurants, since the family will serve you healthier dishes.
- When you sit down to eat at home, avoid eating in front of the television.
- You should avoid seconds as well.
Being over weight is hard on you both mentally and physical.
Start out by taking it slow.
Don’t go hog wild since it will only make you want to give up.
You need to learn your limits to help you lose weight and take control of your health.
If you find it still too hard to lose weight then maybe you should see if there is a local support group around so that you can join it and get the support that you need.
You might want to stay away from people that do not give you support.
You will need to be encouraged, lifted up not let down.
