One-Minute Weight Loss

Start Off Strong

Eat like a King for breakfast, a Queen for lunch, and a Pauper for dinner.  Eat healthy amounts of good-for-you foods earlier in the day then use your day wisely doing things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator to burn off those calories!

 

Take A Time-Out

Take a few minutes out to plan your menu for the day.  Thinking ahead is your best defense against things like hunger and a busy schedule!

 

Buy Small

The bigger the package the more likely you are to eat . . . up to 44%!  Sure the smaller package may cost more but can you really put a value on good health!

 

Indulge

If you are craving a chocolate bar, don’t try to resist it with foods you don’t want.  Chances are you will end up eating both!  Go ahead and have a portion controlled treat then get right back on track!

 

Reflect On Your Choices

Get your compact mirror out of your purse and look yourself right in the eye before eating something that isn’t part of your ‘menu’.  It’s a sure way to put you back in touch with yourself and your goals!

 

Eliminate Toppings

When a dish includes toppings like cheese, bacon, and other high-fat items . . . tell the server to leave them off!

 

Go Low

When you go grocery shopping, choose the most nutritious but the least fattening.  Some good choices include, low-fat butter,  skim milk and fat free ice cream!  Delicious!

 

Brush Your Teeth

Brush your teeth physically and mentally after dinner.  Use this task as a mental message to yourself that means you are done eating for the night!
