How to jumpstart your weight loss plan - part 2
- The first trick is: bulk up your servings. Eat more fruits and vegetables, they are high in fiber and high in water, and will make you feel full for very few calories. You can also add whole grains, lean proteins to vegetables.
- Add more protein to your meals and snacks. Protein is an important aspect of appetite control. It keeps you full. Eat protein at every meal, and with snacks. For example, have apple slices with a bit of peanut butter. Have a protein and carb combination.
- Don't assume you have to miss foods you love. Reserve 10% of your calories for fun foods. If you’re eating 1600 calories a day, you can have 160 calories of fun, like a reduced fat ice cream cone, a couple of cookies, maybe some Hershey’s kisses. Pay attention to portions. And watch out for food amnesia…be aware of what you're really eating, and don't tell yourself you're not having treats when you really are.
