Decide what your biggest guilty-pleasure food is and incorporate its flavors into healthy dishes. For instance, if you love Mexican food, add salsa to your egg-white omelet, or use fajita seasoning to spice up your chicken. When you use the fundamental flavors of your favorite food in everyday cooking, you help eliminate cravings for it. Plus, eating becomes a more enjoyable experience.
To keep an eye on your weight while dining out, always order the salad instead of other appetizers, which will almost invariably be high in fat. If the salad contains high-fat items, such as bacon and cheese, ask for those to be omitted. Ask for the dressing to be served on the side, if they have no fat-free options. Dressing on the side is usually a good idea in any event, since you can dip your salad in the dressing and control how much of it you eat.
A really good nutritional tip is to use a napkin and take off as much grease as you can, off of a slice of pizza. Pizza is usually healthier than other types of fast food, but even so, you don't need to eat a ton of grease.
Losing weight is often easier said than done. Plan on starting today so that you can begin on your plan. You'll be happy that you did. You'll wonder why you ever waited to long to do it.
