I'm Swimming In a Sea of Food!

Everywhere I look I see food. I sometimes think I am hallucinating, but then if I am why is it that I can walk over and get a plate of food and eat it? There is no easy way to diet. I do not care what anyone says, it takes a lot of stamina to say NO to the foods you love day after day! Click Here!

How does it happen that food gets such a hold on you? For years I was thin but one day I woke up fat and I have been fighting the fat everyday since. I have been on diet after diet ever since. It never lasts. I lose some pounds, gain more back. Then I weigh more than I did to start out with.Click Here!

This time I am trying to change the way I eat period. I am eating healthy, low fat or no fat food, with a few of the good carbs thrown in. I am staying away from sugar, sodas, and all sugary foods like ice cream. Boy do I miss it. I am eating veggies, fruits, whole wheat bread and some proteins. After I stay off the sugar and fried foods for a while it gets easier and I do not miss it so much. I have even lost some weight. Click Here!

I read a lot and last week I read that drinking water can boost your metabolism and help you shed pounds. It stressed that a lot of times we think we are hungry and actually, we are thirsty. There have been studies done that show drinking about a pint of water boosts your metabolism by as much as 24 to 30 percent. Based on this study, drinking this much water over the period of a year could burn about 18000 calories which would burn 5 pounds in a year. This is another reason to drink water.

You know a great way to eat your veggies is in those steamer bags. They are easy to carry for lunch and easy to steam and even easier to eat! They taste good and they fill you up. Fruits are great for you to eat also. If I cannot find fresh fruit, I buy frozen and they taste fresh once you thaw them. Lunch for me is a steamer bag of veggies and some fruit for dessert.

I have been doing this for about the last 7 months and I have lost 56 pounds. But let me tell you one thing, do not get off the diet. Once you get off and start eating all that junk food and sweet stuff again, it is hard to get back on the diet and you will gain weight. So do not even think about getting off the diet. stay on it and get thin!

This is a few tips to you from me! I just want you to know if there was a way to eat everything you love, and lose weight I would be on it! The best way to do it, is get on a diet and stick with it and you will grow thin! Click Here!



So Happy dieting!
