Ready to Lose Weight Now!!

To begin with, make a list of foods you love that are also on the healthy list. Here’s where the right mindset comes in. Sugar and fats are among your food enemies at this point. Virtually eliminating these two is what’s going to allow you to lose weight now, not some months down the road.

Explore different cuisines. Mediterranean and Asian menus and dishes from India are generally heart healthy, low in calories, using fragrant herbs and spices for fabulous tastes.

Fish and lean meats are diet friendly foods, and may be eaten in ample portions that supply the protein you need to build muscle, are satisfying and can be prepared in so many non-fattening ways, with toppings of salsas, chutneys and herbs that make this entree truly delicious and hasten you towards your lose weight now goal. Try a lemon, ginger or orange sauce that leaves you with the feeling that you really got away with something, rather than a lackluster meal that leaves your palate wanting.

Replace the mashed potatoes, French fries and other high starch sides with a rice pilaf. Use chicken stock to cook the rice and season with fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, sage (good with poultry), dill or tarragon (excellent additions to fish).

Fruits and veggies are a dieter’s best friend. Very few of us get enough of these foods. Without sufficient fiber in your diet, you’re effectively shooting yourself in the proverbial foot, scuttling your goal to lose weight now. Prepare fresh fruit dishes in imaginative ways that satisfy the craving for sweets. Ambrosia prepared with yogurt, fruit and Jello(TM) dishes, mixed fruit cups dressed with non-dairy whipped topping and fruit smoothies are all tasty alternatives to a piece of cake.

As for the veggies, a large chef’s salad makes a dinner entree that’s filling, low in calories and usually requires more calories to be burned in the process of digesting the insoluble fiber than the salad contains, keeping your digestion in good order as well. If you want to lose weight now, put a chef’s salad on your dinner menus 2-3 times each week. The salad lover can afford to put a lovely non-diet dressing on that salad. Italian style vinaigrettes, poppy seed and fire-roasted red pepper vinaigrettes are just a few good choices.

There are two other things essential to the lose weight now program: water in plentiful amounts and daily exercise. Another recommendation is a complete multi-vitamin and mineral supplement. Ask your doctor for guidance on particular brands. Wait at least two hours between your last cup of morning coffee and taking your supplement, as caffeine washes out water-soluble vitamins.

When you want to lose weight now, use these guidelines to make your menus and you’ll get rid of those unwanted pounds, feel and look great and save the expense of purchasing a wardrobe you don’t want!
