Are You Tired of Dieting?

Making Sensible Food Choices Is The Better, Healthier Way to Lose Weight and Keep it off!

“Sensible Food Choices” is NOT a Diet. It is a Lifelong Way of Eating and it All Centers Around a Common Sense Approach to Healthy Food Choices and Portion Control!”

With the Combination of Sensible Food Choices and Portion Control, You’re Back in Control!

Looking for the “quick-fix” is only a temporary solution. One that can be extremely dangerous. Depriving yourself of the things you love to eat is a short-term fix to the problem. But learning to make sensible food choices, manage portions and control how much you eat is the key to long-term weight control!

Fad diets have been around for decades and there is no shortage of them today. One look at the current state of obesity in the United States and Canada tells us it’s not so much that they work but that, sadly, Americans are still looking for a quick fix to their weight-loss issues!

We are starting to catch on, though. At last, we’re starting to realize that “dieting” isn’t the answer, rather, we should be making lifestyle changes to our “diet” that includes a variety of foods from all the major food groups.

Instead of reaching for yet another diet that totally bans one of the essential food groups, take a few moments to see why you need a variety of nutrients and you’ll discover how easy it is to control your weight just by being informed and making sensible food choices. Read on…

I’ve heard this before but haven’t yet done what I know I should do.

After reading this article, I think I’ll be heading out to my nearest health store…

The trouble with most fat-burning supplements is that they’re actually just wallet-burning substances. If you want to take the jiggle off, steer yourself away from the late-night TV ads and into the produce aisle.

Research shows that your body needs sufficient vitamin C to burn fat. And in one study, people who had low blood concentrations of vitamin C and walked on a treadmill for an hour burned 25% less fat than people with adequate C. But a dose of vitamin C brought fat-burning levels back up to par. Why? Seems C is essential for creating carnitine, a substance that turns fat into fuel.

To keep your fat-burning abilities at near Olympic levels (meaning at your peak, not at the “staying thin on 12,000 calories a day” plan that Michael Phelps reportedly follows), we recommend that you get 1,200 milligrams of C per day. That also gives you high enough levels of this vitamin to prevent deficiencies and keep away aging and disease. You can get much of C from food and the rest from supplements twice daily (you pee out C quickly, so you need to get half of your dose in the morning and the other half at night). Try beginning the day with some strawberries (nearly 100 milligrams per cup), having an orange after lunch (70 milligrams), and filling your dinner plate with C-rich veggies like red bell peppers (152 milligrams per pepper), broccoli (about 100 milligrams per cup), and brussels sprouts (52 milligrams in just four sprouts). Grab a kiwifruit (70 milligrams) or mango (57 milligrams) before your workout to keep your fat-burning fires stoked.

My most recent research has led me to find 20 common tips that the experts recommend for losing fat.  I’m pretty sure we are aware of all or most of these tips, but a good reminder now and then doesn’t hurt.

Here we go:

1) Set yourself up for success – sit down and think about why you really want to lose the weight, make a list that you can refer back to whenever things get tough.  Do you simply want to lose a dress size?  Are you doing it to improve your health?  Or do you just want to look and feel better?  There are no wrong reasons as long as they keep you focused and motivated.

2) Make goals – you should again sit down and make up goals that you can strive for.  Be realistic and keep your goals small – baby steps. Rather than saying I want to lose 50lbs, how about you work in 5 lb increments, or choose to lose 1 dress size in 6 weeks, etc.  Focusing on the larger end result can be discouraging and overwhelming which in turn might cause you to quite in pure frustration.

3) Find a support group – try and surround yourself with people who will support and encourage you rather than sabotage your efforts.  Supportive family members, friends and co-workers can help you stay on track and shouldn’t offer up temptations.  Let people around you know how important this is to you and you’ll be surprised how wonderfully helpful they can be.
