Thin Versus Fat! I Want Thin!

One morning I woke up FAT! I want to wake up THIN like I used to be. I do not know when I started gaining weight but it seems like one day I realized I was fat. I never knew my eating was out of control until I was fat! Click Here!

I needed major overhaul! I needed a diet plan that worked and I needed it fast! Click Here!

That was 20 years ago and I am still fat! I have lost weight only to regain it. I have exercised and dieted. I have gone to Weight watchers. I have taken diet pills after diet pills. Everything I did only caused temporary weight loss. Then I ended up gaining more weight than I lost and I ended up fatter than I was before. Click Here!

Besides the weight gain, I ended up with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, unstable blood sugar levels, and metabolic syndrome! I am in worse shape than ever before. Doctors will not give me pills to help me lose weight and my eating is completely out of control!

Are you in the same predicament that I am? Are you overweight with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, etc.? Every year do you make a New Year's resolution to get control of your weight by dieting and losing weight? Do you end up falling off the diet a couple of weeks into the New Year? Click Here!

If this sounds like you, then perhaps you could use and appreciate these ideas I found for losing weight and getting healthier as well as thinner! In case you are interested, here goes… Click Here!

Get off the Sugar!
Stop the soda, the candy, the sweet tea, the cereals. Stop eating or drinking foods full of sugar.

Move More!
Come on get up off that couch. Dance, exercise, go walking, anything but laying on the couch all day.

Fill up on Fiber!
Fiber makes you full longer and it is good for you. Eat foods rich in fiber!

Think Sneakers not Snickers or any kind of Snack!
If you always take a cookie break, for example, take a walk instead!

Patrol your Portions! Make sure the portion size is correct.
Half a baseball equals a serving of pasta, a checkbook equals a serving of fish and a CD equals the size of an ideal waffle. Click Here!

Fill up on soup! You get a lot of volume for less calories.
Minestrone, chicken noodle or split pea soups are examples of kind of soups to eat. Have a cup before a meal so you feel fuller on less calories.

Identify your weak spots!
Be prepared so your favorite weakness will not create a problem for you. If for example, ice cream is your weakness, and you cannot eat just s spoonful, then do not keep it in the house. Go out and have a small cone of ice cream instead of buying a half gallon to put in the freezer. If it is not available you cannot sit down and eat it.

Set nonweight goals!
For instance set a goal like I will walk 20 minutes 4 days per week instead of making your goal of eating 4 fruits and 4 vegetables every day.

Liberate yourself from Food period!
I liked this idea even though it is rather drastic. Stop eating food altogether for 12 weeks (3 Months) and drink healthy protein shakes instead. A shake for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks allows you to quit thinking about food and food choices. You can liberate yourself from food. Then you have time to think about what you have been eating and why! You can focus on your unhealthy eating patterns and plan your changes when you start adding food back to your diet! Click Here!

Anyone deciding to follow this plan needs to check with their doctor first and have regular follow ups with the doctor to make sure everything is o.k.

There you have the tips I have gathered for you. But remember this: 90% of dieters regain their weight in five years. So make your plan for the rest of your life! Make sure you have a diet plan you can live by not just get thin by! Click Here!

So until next time this is my message to you: Eat to Live not Live to Eat!

God Bless!

11 Tips To Losing Weight! Are You Interested?

I cannot tell you anything about losing weight that you do not already know. In fact there is only one way I know to lose weight. Eat less calories than you need to maintain your weight. Besides eating less you must exercise more! That is it! It is a very simple plan! It has two steps: eat less and exercise more period! Click Here!

I have ten (10) tips that I follow when I want to lose weight. Here they are:
* (1) Drink lots of water or calorie free beverages.
* (2) Eat more fruits and vegetables.
* (3) Before you eat anything, ask yourself if you are really hungry.
* (4) Watch what you eat as bedtime snacks.
* (5) Eat and enjoy your favorite foods occasionally.
* (6) Enjoy you treats away from your home.
* (7) Make sure you eat protein at every meal.
* (8) Eat several small meals instead of 3 large meals.
* (9) Spice up your food with jalapenos, picante sauce, etc.
* (10) Rid your pantry of all junk foods. Stock up with healthy ones.
* (11) Exercise! (You know you could not exclude this one!)

We have heard everyone of these tips before. It is simply a list of the same tips. But these tips are tried and true. What that means is they work. Take the tips and do what they say and you will lose weight! Click Here!

Drink lots of water or calorie free drinks. They help fill you up not out! The more you drink the less you eat. When you eat less, you lose weight! So drink, drink, drink!

Everyone says eat more fruits and veggies. The way to weight loss is to eat fruits and veggies. Stop eating carbs, especially simple carbs, and et fruits and veggies!

Take the time to quiz yourself. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Are you eating just to be eating or are your hungry? I have heard people say to ask yourself if you are really hungry, wait 20 minutes to see if you are still hungry, then eat it. Make sure you are hungry! Click Here!

Whatever you eat before you go to bed can last longer than 24 hours. It can fill you out not up. Often we sit and watch television and stuff food into our mouths without even thinking. This kind of mindless eating can pack on the pounds!

Occasionally you have to eat your favorite foods! Go out to eat them. If you do not eat some in moderation every once in a while, you will begin to feel deprived and end up binge eating!

Just like you eat your favorite foods away from home, you should enjoy a treat every once in awhile so you do not feel deprived. When that happens you start feeling sorry for yourself and there goes the diet! Click Here!

Eat protein at every meal. It helps feel you up and you feel satisfied! Dieters who eat protein have potential for greater weight loss than those who do not. Click Here!

Eat several mini meals throughout the day instead of 3 large meals. Dieters who do this fill up faster and have the potential for lots of weight loss. The smaller meals help you control your weight.

Stock your pantry with healthy foods. Statistics prove those dieters who have healthy foods readily at hand tend to grab the healthy foods and this helps them gain control of their appetite so they do not over eat or they do not pig out on junk foods. Click Here!

Last but not least is Exercise. You need exercise to lose weight. It helps you use excess energy and you sleep better at night. You will gain more energy by exercising!

There are the 11 tips I use to lose weight. Eat less, and exercise more and it will pay off in the long run. You will see a slimmer, trimmer you emerge! You will be so proud of yourself!
