The weight loss list! I’m getting better at this!

I have gotten to where I love these lists. My friend Clark “Bruce Almighty” Bruce helped me put this one together… so I have to give credit where credit is due.

These are 6 things that you can do to loose weight. He presented them at our last Weight Watchers meeting. Check ‘em.

1. Eat at regular intervals. If you wait too long between eating, you may give in to those cravings too easily. If your body is used to eating at regular intervals, you will be able to control cravings and overeating.

2. Make healthy snacks more available than anything else in your house. Have fruit sitting in a fruit bowl. Always have carrots, celery, peppers and/or cucumbers cut up in the fridge and waiting for you. Now, the fact of the matter is, I don’t really like cucumbers that much, but I can eat them and they are a filling food. Put them on a salad next time and try it… it will really fill you up like lettuce can’t.

3. Serve your food on a plate or bowl… never out of the box or bag. You can’t tell how much you are eating and will tend to overeat. If you can see how much is on your plate, will can tell if you have the proper portion or not.

4. Substitute other foods for the ones you are craving. If you are craving chocolate, then eat a granola bar that has chocolate chips in it. If you craving salt, substitute microwave popcorn for pretzels or chips. And, of course, fruit can be substituted for almost any craving.

5. Make sure you are getting enough protein at each meal (especially breakfast). Protein will help you stay full for a longer period of time and will help manage cravings.

6. Drink your water!!!!!!!!
