There are right ways and wrong ways to do just about everything...whether you're knitting a sweater, changing the oil in your car, or dieting to lose weight. If you knit, but not well, perhaps you can cobble something together, but it won't be anything one would be proud to wear. When you're working on your car, you could totally mess up and add olive oil instead of motor oil and end up a whole lot worse off than when you started.
It's the same way with dieting. Unless you approach it correctly, you can work hard yet show poor results, as in the knitting example. Or, as with the oil, you can make mistakes which will cause you to gain weight, rather than lose it.
Countertop Burners
Let's go over a few principles of effective dieting so as to maximize your efforts:
1. Start your day off with a healthful breakfast. You've been "fasting" all night long and it's time to re-fuel. Don't think "eggs benedict" or "caviar and brie omelet"...think whole grain cereal bars and orange juice, or hard-boiled eggs and peanut butter on toast. The point is, make it simple, make it nutritious, and make it the first step toward a new you.
2. Picture this: you sit at a desk all morning. At noon you rush out for a 45 minute high-calorie, high-fat, high-sodium, expensive lunch during which you complain about the boss and his stupid new memo. You end by plopping down free money for a tip and rushing back to the office so you can sit all afternoon. How's that working for you? Consider packing your lunch instead of going out. (It's just possible your co-workers would be interested in joining you. Sit outside and get some fresh air and sunshine.)
3. If you do got out for lunch (or dinner), ask the waiter for a take-home box to be delivered with your meal. Divide the food before you start eating and take it home for dinner or lunch tomorrow. We're all eating much more than we need (or we wouldn't be talking about dieting).
4. Bring a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack with you. The donuts the rep brought will add calories and upset your sugar-insulin balance and leave you hungrier (and heavier) in a few hours. Also, most of the "office munchies" are high in fat and will raise your cholesterol. Try a serving size (read the label) of nuts, peanut butter on whole wheat crackers, fruit, vegetable chunks, or reduced fat cheese.
5. Have dinner as a family...put something in the crockpot in the morning before work. Serve foods restaurant style rather than family style. These means that you dish up food at the stove or countertop rather than from bowls and platters at the table. (No seconds please... you've had enough. Eat slowly so your brain has time to activate the hunger-full center of your brain.)
6. Use the "my-plate" method devised by the US Department of Agriculture: one half of the plate is for fruits and vegetables; one-fourth for protein, such as beef, chicken, or beans; the last fourth is for starch (bread, pasta, rice). Look for whole grain breads, pastas and cereals.
7. Incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Develop a habit of motion. Walk where you can, use the stairs when possible, take the long way whenever you can, play with the kids or the animals, walk with the family after dinner or take a lunch time walk alone or with a co-worker. There are many things you can do to burn up some of those extra calories.
8. Set realistic goals for yourself. Aim for 1-3 pounds of weight loss per week. If you lose more than that, you are probably breaking down muscle. If your caloric and healthy fat intake is too low, your metabolism will slow down.
9. Get a good nights sleep...the hormones that control appetite are produced in concentrated form during sleep
