“Go on a Diet” is probably the most used phrase we hear at the Dr.’s office. With all the new diets you can find online, the most effective weight loss regimen I’ve found is simple. Add exercise, drink plenty of water, eat small meals, use stevia sweetener and slow down while eating.
1. Add 30 minutes of brisk walking to your daily routine.
2. Drink more water, not tea, not coffee, not soft drinks, water. At least 3 full 16 oz.
bottles daily.
3. Eat 3 SMALL meals a day and add a veggie or fruit snack in between
if you feel hungry. TIP: Use a small plate and fill only once. The snack is not another full
meal. Be sure you are hungry and not just needing to fill your mouth. (Drink water)
4. Sugary sweets (in a small amount) can be a treat once or twice a week, but no more.
It is better to use stevia as a sweetener in your tea or coffee.
Mindful eating is the opposite of the feeding “frenzy” that occupies many of us; it involves using all your senses to eat. Notice the color, small, taste and texture of each bite.
5. Eat slowly, chew your food well. Chewing leads to smooth digestion a a greater assimilation of nutrients. Put down your fork while you are chewing and take time to enjoy the flavor of your food.
