Five Easy Steps to Weight Loss Are you finding yourself wanting to lose weight? Make small, gradual, realistic changes that will build upon one another and create a healthier future. Here are five easy steps to help you control your weight: You should think “choose well” not “diet.” Choose foods that allow you to fill up on fewer calories. These are foods that are: Minimally processed High in fiber Low in fat and sugar Examples include: fruits, vegetables, cooked whole grains such as barley, oatmeal, whole wheat products, brown rice, and legumes. For protein, choose leaner choices like white breast meat with poultry (without skin); pork loin; lean beef; legumes; and seafood. Make sure to prepare these items with little added fat. Take care when eating out. Choose soup and salad or smaller dishes that are lower in fat and calories, ask for sauces and dressings on the side. If the portions are large, take half of it home to enjoy at a later time. Snack for better health. Think “outside of the bag” and enjoy fresh fruits, vegetables with low-fat dips or fat-free light yogurt. Baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal also make great snacks. Be smarter when cooking. Use cooking methods such as baking meats on a rack, broiling, grilling, roasting or steaming instead of frying. Never skip breakfast. Starting your day with a high fiber, low fat breakfast will help you consume fewer calories the remainder of the day. Now what are you waiting for? Get started today!
