Breakfast would be cereals, Usually bran flakes or anything that doesn't need sugar to be added, with soya milk if possible, (That isn't as gross as it sounds, honest :-) or skimmed or semiskimmed milk.
Lunch might be lean Ham, with grilled Tomato's and copious amounts of Mushroom's, and my Evening meal would be what I would normally eat, but without Potato's. I would bulk it up with veggies that I enjoy, so I wouldn't be left feeling hungry (see part 4 on negative calories) or it could be 2 large, skinned chicken legs that I would sprinkle with garlic granules, and salad, or battered fish with salad.
I never felt the need for after's, but if you do, then fruit is the way to go.So, by avoiding those four things, and allowing the tip's below to become a way of life, I achievedAMAZING results, and lost 49lbs (3½ stone) in 8 weeks!!
But right now, you might be thinking “I don't think that I can go without those things, it's too hard”, but if you really, and I do mean really want to lose weight, then you can, and will.
Don't think about the food you can't eat.... think about all the lovely, and nutritious food that you can eat...I promise you, it isn't hard. If I can do it, so can YOU.
It's all in the mind. Think about your relationship with food. Are you constantly thinking about it?....Is it the most important thing in your life?....if it is, then find something else to focus on.
Try planning a reunion with people that you haven't seen for years and imagine them commenting on how great you look. Play it out in your mind. Picture yourself with the slim body that you've always wanted, smiling, happy.Take a moment. look. This is what you want. Now, set your focus there. That's what I did. My focus, was a family wedding.
You must be in the right frame of mind before you decide on any course of action.
Avoid fashion magazines. They can make you feel miserable if your not as slim as the models featured in them.
Don't buy fattening or unhealthy foods. If they're not in your cupboard, you can't eat them.
NEVER go food shopping when you are hungry.
After eating, wash your plate and cutlery and put them away. Don't make mealtime a focal point. Out of sight, out of mind.
Drink plenty of water. This gets rid of toxins and fat deposits from your body.
Don't skip breakfast. You will only eat more at lunchtime.
Switch to soya milk for cereals
Drink a glass of water 30 minutes before you eat. It will help to make you feel fuller.
Avoid all soft fizzy drinks. Especially diet one's.
Don't eat for at least 2 hour's before going to bed.
Listen to music whilst exercising.
After eating, brush your teeth so the taste isn't left in your mouth. Your teeth will love it too.
When a food label says “low in fat” that space has probably been filled with Carbohydrates (sugars), so there really is no gain. It's either fat or it's sugar.
You could try having larger meals earlier in the day. You will feel less hungry and be better able to burn the calories during the day.
Take care not to eat too late as you are more likely to be less active in the evenings.
Use a smaller plate.
Never just dive into any heavy exercise if you are not used to doing any. This can do more harm than good if you injure yourself. Start slow and build up gradually.
Try not to focus on food as the be all and end all. Put your attention elsewhere.They worked for me, and they'll work for you too!! You can make today the first day of the rest of your life!!
“Discover the real you... I think you’ll like her!”
Don't think of yourself as being on a diet......You're not. Just think of it as living a healthier lifestyle, remember though, to put absolutely no pressure on yourself or allow others to do so.
If you don't want to make these changes all at once, then don't. Do it at your own pace.Be happy........Your gonna make it!!
