Does anyone not like french fries? The siren call of french fries has derailed many diets. But if you want french fries that will help your scale go down instead of up, try baking them. Start by slicing your potatoes into 1/2 inch long fries. Then, place them in a bowl with a tablespoon of oil and lightly dust them with salt, pepper, and rosemary to taste. Bake a single layer of the fries for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Turn them over and bake for another 10 minutes. They are great with ketchup and have lower fat content, so you won’t miss the deep-fried ones. This “French bake” recipe comes from Laurel’s Kitchen cookbook.
Try to stay positive when you are losing your weight. Thinking positively about eating a healthy diet and enjoying your workouts will eliminate any feelings of dread you may have. This helps keep you motivated on days you do not want to exercise.
Losing weight can be easier if you don’t wear loose clothing. While this style may seem comfortable to you, it allows you to forget about how much you weigh. By not wearing loose clothing you’ll be more mindful of your weight.
Hiking outdoors is a great method of achieving weight loss goals. As well as getting closer to nature, the number of calories you will burn are significant. The amount of calories you burn depends on the type of hiking you are doing. Hiking up hills carrying weight will burn more calories than a cross-country hike.
For a fast weight loss boost, quit drinking. While alcohol is okay in moderation, too much of it can make it harder for you to lose weight. Many alcoholic beverages contain a lot of calories. If you want an alcoholic drink, choose a low calorie option.
Make a list of all of the healthy foods that you plan to buy before you go grocery shopping and promise yourself you won’t buy anything that is not on your list. You may want to limit the time you spend food shopping to a specific amount. This will keep you focused on what you need, making it less likely you’ll wander off into the processed food aisles.
Do not skip meals to lose weight. Many are disillusioned with the thought of skipping meals making them thinner; however, it is going to cause your body to store fat instead of burning it. Even if you aren’t ravenous, try to eat three healthy meals each day.
This tip is probably something a doctor would hate to hear, but you may want to keep smoking if you already lost weight. Quitting smoking and dieting simultaneously is not always wise. Smoking is a serious bad habit, but quitting during a hardcore diet can lead to you replacing smoking with overeating. That is bad for a diet and will cause weight gain.
