How to change your diet really works

The story of two diets (or how to change your diet really works)

The story of two diets (or how to change your diet really works) There once was a woman who woke up one morning and was fat. (At least, that’s what I felt, as happened during the night). Year after year, the pounds multiplied, so did the new clothes in your closet, one in each size. She insisted that she did not eat any “bad” foods, like sandwiches or pizza, and almost never gave his favorite thing in the world, dessert. He spent much time in the kitchen preparing healthy food, balanced and nutritious fresh ingredients. And at night, when she watched TV, saw their calorie eating these novel packs 100 calories. Why, oh why, she moaned, I get so fat? I can? Blame menopause? That must be it! She exclaimed, adapting to its new size and thickness. Better to eat and enjoy myself, decided, this is my new destination. Therefore, she huffed and puffed her and she pushed the food in.

But the fairy tale ended when she met with the Truth. And the truth was this: Over there, lurking, were nasty little diet saboteurs blocking his path to wellness.

1. Clinging to the “fat” clothes. It’s tempting, I know. This way you always have something to wear. But it gives you an excuse to yo-yo up and down without feeling that little nudge of a reminder to trim your waistline because it is cutting off circulation.

2. Stop “bad” foods. You do not have to give up things like pizza and sandwiches, just change clothes. Be a detective and find places that offer whole wheat crust and cake design-your-own. This way you can control what you eat. Or make your own. The same goes for sandwiches. A sandwich can be healthy, too: turkey on whole wheat with lettuce and tomato fits the bill (just do not slather mayonnaise).

3. Picking while cooking. You’ve seen what you’ve done. You cook, you choose. And you pick a little more. But the truth is that all small bites add up to a lot of extra calories. Instead, chew gum or keep a glass of water or some chopped crunchy vegetables are useful. Or even whistling while you work. Restricts I-I can-help-me picking / tasting opportunities.

4. Serving Sizes. The fact that a food is healthy does not mean you can load up on anything you want. Watch your portions, and you control your weight. A formula made heaven.That ‘s why weight loss spas are so successful (unless you sneak some candy in your suitcase): serve a delicious meal in small portions. And - surprise. You do not need to eat as much as you think to feel satisfied. A simple trick for portion control: Use a salad plate instead of a dinner plate for your main course. Deceives the eye into a plateful. And it’s the right portion, most likely. Then divided in half and a face filling with fruit or vegetables, leaving the rest of the protein and starch in equal portions.

5. Snack packs. They can pack on the pounds. Not only ecological, but these packs do not usually contain what they promise (a “oreo” is not a true “oreo” but a thin chocolate wafer). They will probably leave you unsatisfied and reaching for more. Before you know it, you’ve had three or four. (And eat in front of the television is especially dangerous: chew equals nonsense).

6. Restaurant dining. Sure, it’s good to get away and relax, but I try to do it consciously. Let me count the ways you can do in a restaurant (sorry to be a killjoy, I like to eat out as much as you probably do). First, the bread - tempting when you put in front of you and you’re starving, right? But if it’s there, I will eat, and I dare to stop at one piece. Bread and butter - what’s better? You can try to sit on your hands, or you can have the breadbasket removed from the table. And beware of too much alcohol, it can really unleash your inhibitions. I do not mean who will dance on the table, but I mean they will eat all you want without thinking about the same. (And that probably includes most fattening dessert on the menu.)

7. Blame menopause. Well, sort of. Most of us started to notice a change in weight during perimenopause, on average, women gain about a pound a year during this time. And after menopause, the fun continues. That’s why it is important to note that since your body may need fewer calories, you need to be very diligent in how to divvy up.

8. Bonus tip (my favorite): Say No to deprivation. If you have a sweet tooth, but deny yourself something sweet (or carbs, but you want to think of them as poison) you just crave more and eat twice the amount when you finally can not help himself any longer. I mean, willpower only go so far. So, go ahead and enjoy - but only a little. It reduces the craving and save you from binging later. Make the black chocolate and wheat-paste, and you’ll make a very big favor.

No todo está perdido.”>This Matters> All is not lost. Exercise and awareness go a long way in keeping your weight under control and the unpleasant diet saboteurs at bay.

Once people learned this connected woman diet slowly decided to change their ways. Ropa vieja is the boot and the exercise and attention entered his life. And as she regained her sense of control, tension (and fat) slowly melted. It felt more energetic and happier than I had done in years.

And she lived happily ever after.

The End.
