Diet and exercise....even the sound of those two words conjure up feelings of misery, deprivation, and a little anger, too, at the thought of being here, again, back at square one.
How we could have let ourselves get back to this point, looking down weeks and maybe months of diet depression, we do not understand. But we do know one thing, for sure: There's got to be a better way! How can we lose weight without really trying? Take hope! In this article, you will find how to put the necessary changes into your daily routine, while increasing the health of your family as well as your own. If you are ready to learn how to lose weight easily, these ideas are for you!
Add the fun! If you look over the contents of your fridge and you do not feel inspired, it's time for a change. Cooking should be fun, and the challenge to make healthier food delicious is one you are equal to! TV's famous Galloping Gourmet Graham Kerr took this task seriously when the rich, fatty foods he had been cooking and eating for a lifetime led to a massive coronary, nearly taking his life. When he returned to public life and another cooking show, his focus was taking his former recipes and making them low-fat and healthy; calling his approach the mini-max, he found he could lose weight without really trying. Invite your family to join you in the kitchen, and cook only one meal...no special separate food...you all deserve good health!
Subtract the pitfalls: While examining new, lighter recipes, you may notice that they do not include many of the ingredients on your pantry shelves, or in your fridge; time for the tempting traps to go! Any fresh, unopened foodstuffs could be given away, or donated to a local shelter, to lessen the waste...but then throw the rest out. This includes those wonderfully caloric leftovers, chips, snacks, sweets, and high fat deli meats and cheeses. You may think, 'Well, I'll start as soon as I thin out this stock of food...I just can't get rid of it!' But that is not how to lose weight easily, or at all. Start immediately, with an optimistic outlook: Think about how great you will feel when the good food in your kitchen is good for you, and the whole family!
