Weight Loss

Ten Diet Tips:

1. Substitute Coffeemate® for cream, or at least reduce the amount of cream you take by half.
2. Avoid cream based sauces and soups, choose broth or tomato based instead.
3. Ban all breads from the house. Get your fiber from other healthier sources.
4. Every Sunday take the time to write down a well balanced meal plan for the week. This will reduce the urge to cook something quick when things get hectic.
5. Increase the time between eating treats. Choose smaller portions such as kid snack size chocolate bars.
6. Drink plenty of water (add lime or herbs to make it more interesting).
7. When away from home pack fruit and vegetables to prevent from eating convenience foods.
8. Ensure salad and vegetables take up the majority of the real estate on your plate.
9. Avoid alcohol during weekdays and choose low calorie drinks on the weekends (avoid sugary coolers & high cal beers).
10. Always have a salad or fresh vegetables ready in the fridge.
