I am no expert. I have no professional training in dietetics, but these are the things that have worked for me:
- Regular meals - particularly breakfast---do not miss meals.
- Portion control - think about that second helping.
- Eat slowly - let the digestive process start in the mouth. You will feel fuller.
- Snacks - raw veggies, fruit or nuts.
- Skim and Trim fat when cooking.
- Fiber - very important - keeps the plumbing unclogged!
- Drink water and milk (low fat) and no soda.
- Moderation, Balance, and Variety
- I believe that anything made by God can’t be all bad. Again, moderation rules - do not drench with butter, cream, or cheese. Steamed, broiled, or grilled preferably.
- Home made preferably over ready made frozen or canned foods.
- Treat yourself once in a while - forget the restrictions.
- Have dessert occasionally - it makes li9fe sweeter!
- I do not believe in cutting out completely all sugar, salt, protein or carbohydrates, unless you have a condition that requires this. We need (I think) these in moderation to keep up our energy and our electrolytes. I believe that we need some fat to burn up those carbs.
- Be active - Enjoy life - Laughter is good exercise.
- Check with your doctor before starting any diet or exercise. You may have a condition that requires special attention.
- Use your common sense - this commodity seems to be a rarity these days.
- Most of all be grateful for Gods blessings - you won’t have that emptiness that you try to fill with food.
