 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.
