Out The Fat

Most
of us are looking for easy ways to loose weight. Well, here today we
will talk about how to do just that. It might not be as hard as you
might think. We all have friends who pack on the double patty burgers
with two extra large fries each day. After they swallow this, they will
go onto eating a whole bag of candy and wash it down with a half gallon
of milk. Sound like some of your college buddies? Through out the day,
we get thirsty. All living creatures do. What do you turn for most
often? Sodas, we all do it. Why? Because they are easy to get and they
taste good. Who can turn down a sweet drink after a jog in the sun?
Well,
you shouldn't be doing that. There is two reasons why. One is because
it is wasted calories. You don't get anything back from the soda. You
might get some pep from the caffeine, but that is about it. You might
get a slight sugar rush, but it won't be anything that last. The second
reason is, because we are slightly hungry. We aren't hungry enough to
go get something to eat, but a drink will satisfy us enough to our next
meal.
Instead of drinking sodas all day long, drink juice.
More specifically, juice with the pulp in it.
I know what you are thinking. There is more of a purpose to this than
moving your bowels. We all have had a bit of a problem in the bathroom
department and have ran for the juice with the pulp in it.
Juice
with the pulp in it will fill you up.
Unlike sodas, there is something actually there to curb your hunger.
You will drink less because you will get full. Try it, you will be
surprised.
Always
stick to wheat bread. Don't
eat the white stuff. Whole wheat products are known to stabilize blood
sugar levels. This mean you won't get hungry as fast. This is an easy
way to curb your hunger.
Here are some tips you can use
when making sandwiches.
Avoid cheese. We put way to much cheese on
everything
these days. I won't be surprised if some day they make a cheese covered
soda can. This is a heart attack waiting to happen. There is no reason
to eat this much cheese. One of the ways you can cut down on the amount
of cheese you eat is by shredding the cheese. Use the shredded cheese
instead of cheese slices. You can cover the same amount of area, with
less cheese. You can also do this on salads as well.
Cut down on the mayo. I would suggest that
you cut
this completely out. I know some guys who put so much mayo on their
sandwiches, I can't see how they eat them. I can't see how they can
taste anything but the mayo. A good suggestion to do it, sprinkle a
little of Italian dressing on the sandwich. Just enough so you can
taste it. This will really cut down on the fat. Also, if you make your
own, you can control how much oil is in the dressing.
Cut down on bread. If you are going out to
eat and the
waiter drops a bread basket on the table, push it away. Don't eat the
bread. The more carbs you can get away from the better. Cut out the
silly snacks. Don't fill up on potato chips between meals. Instead grab
an apple or some veggie sticks. You will be amazed at how good they are
once you give them a chance. I love green peppers sprinkled with a
little salt. I will take these any day over potato chips.
Stay away from fatty cuts of meat. Don't
go to the
store and buy the most fatty cuts of pork you can get. Take it home and
trim the fat off of it if you have to. There are tons of ways you can
cook lean meat so that it isn't dry. That is why most people like the
fat in the meat, it adds juice. Also with spices, you can fix the
problem of not having the flavor that fat adds.
Stay away from too much dairy. No need to get full of ice cream that is
full of fat. Instead if you must consume it, go for the low fat
versions. Try to get flavors with a lot of fruit in them or add your
own fruit. You won't notice the missing fat if you add some flavor to
it. Avoid frying stuff. Learn how to bake, broil and steam your foods.
You will be surprised at how much fat frying adds to the dish. Sure it
tastes better, but it won't help your waist any.
There you have it. Those don't sound too hard do they?
I'm sure after you repeat them after awhile, they will get easy to do.
