25 TIPS FOR A HEALTHY DIET - "A Guide To Weight Loss" - Health - Weight Loss

Try to use these weight loss diet tips that can be followed anywhere, everyday and youll notice a difference quite quickly:

1. You should always consult the doctor before beginning any exercise or weight loss program.

2. Do not skip meals. By skipping meals you trick the body into slowing down the metabolism as it attempts to conserve calories during a period where limited fats and fuel are available. Remember that eating increases the metabolism.

3. Eight hours after waking up, our metabolism slows down which is why 30 minutes of exercise before your evening meal will increase the metabolism for about two to three hours.

4. Drinking hot water instead of cold water in the morning can increase the speed of your metabolism and burn more calories.

5. Warm water with just a squeeze of lemon juice before breakfast gets the metabolism going for the day. This also helps to prevent constipation and is excellent for the skin.

6. Eat three small meals and two snacks everyday instead of one or two huge meals.

7. Buy non-toasted muesli instead of the toasted ones. A plate of toasted muesli contains more fat than a plate of bacon and eggs.

8. If you have a packed meal take pitta bread roll ups or wraps with salad fillings.

9. Make pasta a fast food choice. Preparing a pasta meal or salad will only take about 20 minutes.

10. To get extra iron add alfalfa or mung beans to salad.

11. Eat vegetables like capsicum and zucchini stuffed with flavoured fillings of minced chicken, white meat or fish. These are healthy and contain low fat.

12. Make a delicious low fat mayonnaise by combining one teaspoon of Dijon mustard with a low fat yogurt.

13. Eat slowly and chew each bite during meals as this will decrease one's appetite.

14. Good cooking and healthy eating begins with learning about nutrition and how to prepare healthy recipes.

15. Learn how to make the familys favourite recipes and make sure that fats, salt, and sugar are cut out. Substitute non-fat yogurt for cream.

16. Stir-fry without oil, use chicken stock instead as this will cut down on hidden fat. Use herbs and spices instead of salt to taste.

17. Chilli helps to speed up metabolism - even the milder varieties.

18. One of the best sources of vegetable protein is from soya beans or tofu. All legumes provide some protein, so include lentils, lima beans, etc into casseroles and soups.

19. Try not to remove the skins of fruits and vegetables where possible as most of the nutrients are concentrated under the skin.

20. For a dramatic decrease in fat try making omelettes without adding the yolks!

21. Remove fat by dropping ice cubes into the baking tray. Fat will stick to the ice cubes.

22. Although you may find it hard at first, try not eating 3 hours or more before bedtime.

23. Also eat before you go food shopping and always prepare a shopping list. Then only buy food which relates to your weekly menu plan and don't be tempted to buy goodies.

24. Look for a weight loss "buddy," club, or support mates. This will motivate you to stay and enjoy your weight loss program.

25. Finally make sure that you keep your discipline to promote consistency on the diet plan. This will lead eventually to a healthy life-style without the extra fat and extra pounds on the side.
