Charts and tables can never tell you how much your ideal
weight should be, as would an honest look
at yourself in mirror. Once you set a
goal, however, stick to it. But
don’t
jump on to the scales every morning expecting a miracle. Your figure
didn’t
become this unhealthy size in day and it one day and it will return to
normal
in such a short time either. It might be a better idea to weigh yourself
at the beginning of the week, before breakfast, and evaluate your
progress. Remember your menu has to be planned very carefully. Take
care to include foods from the four basic food groups, that is,
(a)
Milk
and milk products (though, not after 4 p.m.),
(b)
Meat,
fish poultry and eggs,
(c)
Fresh
fruits, dark green or deep yellow vegetables, and
(d)
Breads,
creels and whole grains.
Never miss a meal.
And make sure what you are eating is a balanced diet.

Helpful Hints For Weight Reduction
1 .
Squeeze one small lemon juice into a cup of warm water.
Drink it first thing in the morning. After 30 minutes, you can have
breakfast.
2.
Grapefruit is the only fruit that has the right enzymes
to start the digestive process. It is an excellent liver corrective. Eat half a
grapefruit every morning for breakfast or one may have a small glass of
unsweetened grapefruit juice.
3. Remember the two combinations-
a)
One
‘fatty’ item with two ‘skinny’ items.
4.
Eat three meals a day, never skip a
meal. Try to avoid snacking in between meals. If, for some reason, you feel
like snacking-munch on some raw vegetables.
5.
5.
Remember, beef takes 72 hours to
digest. Pork is extremely fatty. Pock is extremely fatty. These are full of
saturated fat. You can have beef on alternate days-never on the some day. Pock
or anything from the pork family can be eaten once a week only.
6.
6.
Breakfast is the most important
meal. Have a good breakfast.
7.
7.
Eat your meals in a 10-inch plate
instead of a 12-inch plate. That way, you will cut down on the quantity of food
you eat, not the quality.
8.
Include protein in each menu
because protein takes a long time to digest and you’ll feel full longer. This
will prevent you from snacking.
9.
9.
Avoid taking second helping. You
should be satisfied with the food you take the first time. If you eat slowly,
you will feel full and won’t need to have more.

After 4 p.m., our digestive
process slows down. Avoid starchy carbohydrates, sugar and fatty food for
dinner. Try to have dinner by 6 or 7 p.m. One hour after dinner do some light
exercise, like walking.
11.
11.
All dairy products, such as milk,
buttermilk, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese and yogurt, should be avoided after
4 p.m. Also, one should have just one dairy product a day.
12.
12.
Do not drink any liquid while
actually eating food. Liquid can be 15 to 20 minutes before and after meals. All
through the day drink plenty of water. Water flushes the impurities out of your
system.
13.
13.
Carbonated drinks stop the process
of digestion and are very fattening. Carbonated drinks are high in sodium and sugar.
A diet drink occasionally is permissible, but never after 4 p.m.
14.
14.
Avoid desserts as much as
possible. If you crave for something sweet, eat fruit. Fruit is nature’s desert
and does not contain the oil and fat that you find in made-up desserts like
cakes and puddings. Unsweetened jelly is a good dessert. Even if you have a
half grapefruit at breakfast, you can have another fruit that day before 4 p.m.
15.
15.
Alcohol is extremely fattening. Do
yourself a favor – avoid it. A glass of wine or a scotch and water occasionally
is allowed. Remember you can socialize equally well with a glass of tomato
juice, which has only 45 calories.
16.
Absolutely, no eating standing up.
The practice of eating what is avoidable in the open fridge or on the kitchen shelves
should be avoided. Eat slowly. The brain takes a while to realize that the
stomach is full. If you wait 20 minutes after your dinner for dessert, you will
find your craving for desert has decreased a lot, if not disappeared
completely.
17.
17.
Never go grocery shopping on an
empty stomach. If your stomach is full you will not buy junk food.
18.

Do some form of exercise every day
for at least 20 minutes? For example, disco dancing, fast walking, jogging,
tennis, skipping.
It improves blood circulation.
19.

Take some vitamins every day. Ask
your doctor or counselor about it.

The body needs plenty of rest. Some
people need only five hours of sleep, others eight hours. Give your body what
it needs. Tension and worry hinder the weight loss program me. Try to relax as
much as possible.
Drink a minimum of 48 to 64 ounces of
fluid per day, which may include water, lemon tea, and decaffeinated coffee and
sugar-free drinks. Use your thirst as a guide for how much liquid your body
needs. If you drink more than a gallon of liquid a day, necessary enzyme will
be washed away and you will only feel bloated
How Much Weight Will I Lose?
A natural question, for one is impatient to imagine
oneself svelte, sexy and sinuous. It is you imagined image that will be your
main motivator now. One can’t really
give a specific answer, but it all depends on your age,
occupation ,
bone structure, metabolism and , above all, your ability to stay on a
diet.Some dieters see a weight loss after just a couple of days, others
report that
their scales surprise them suddenly, with great news after a week. The
one
positive fact is that if you diet honestly, you will most definitely lose weight simply because when you eat less,
you burn up the fat already stored in your body.
Diets take an enormous amount of will power. A peaceful frame of mind, therefore, is
necessary. Don’t start dieting when you are under tension of some sort, such
as, if you have just given up smoking, someone is seriously ill, financial
tension, marital problems and so on, for it will not be successful.The best way to divert your attention from food is to
pursue a hobby. Painting, handicrafts, social work, interior decoration and so on will keep you mind
occupied and you will not turn to food.
Keep a jug of sugar-free lemonade handy. When you feel like snacking between
meals, drink a glass of lemonade or water. It will flush out the toxic waste
from your body & fill the stomach, thus lessening the urge to attack the
refrigerator.Vitamins are absolutely necessary whether you are dieting
or not. No one really eats three balanced meals a day and we
never get all the vitamins and minerals our body needs every day from what we
eat. Get plenty of rest, specifically eight hours’ sleep. This
will relax your nerves. In your mind paint a beautiful picture of yourself-slim
and beautiful, just as you would like to be. Every time you feel like snacking
that beautiful picture of yourself and the attention you’ll get from people. It
will help curb the urge to eat junk. Here is a list of the food one normally eats, the
calories consumed. They are categorized
as proteins, vegetables and fruits, to help you plan your meals.
