Eating right and Losing Weight

Yes, this isn’t a site dedicated to losing weight. It’s not easy to lose weight, and it’s something a lot of people have a difficult time with.

This is what I know (and believe) works best for me, and it’s a fairly mainstream methodology in losing weight.

I’ve been following religiously some of the items on this list. Others, not so much. However, I am back on track with eating healthier and exercising regularly.

  • Drink in moderation. (A glass of wine with dinner, sometimes two. About once or twice a week)
  • No smoking (I am glad that I never smoked, and I never will)
  • Eat four small meals a day, with 2 healthy snacks. (This is difficult for me. Working on it.)
  • Low-sugar diet
    • No soft drinks (I drink soda at most 5 times a year.)
    • No candy. (Just a little bit of dark chocolate)
    • I can’t give up coffee, but I take it with just milk, no sugar. 1 - 2 cups a day
  • Low-fat diet
    • Eat lean meat
    • Baked instead of fried
    • Eat more fish and vegetables
    • no bacon, no sausages (well mostly..)
    • no potato chips, no fries (this was hard at first)
  • Limit refined flour intake
    • Whole-wheat bread (always)
    • Whole-wheat pasta (always, when eating at home)
    • Limit processed foods in diet
  • Low sodium diet
    • Eat at home more
    • Limit processed foods in diet
  • Weight training.
    • Free weight, upper body workouts for now
    • Push-ups

  1. ive had to start a healthy eating regieme due to being over weight by 42 lb dont ask …….but know it will help my recovery … ive lost 7 lb first week , following the plan , no exercise (just moving round on my crutches brings me out in a sweat !) but as for coffee .. no can do , its the only thing i can enjoy but pleased with my start .

  2. I’m concerned about weight gain over my months of rehabilitation (including the 7 weeks and counting in the air cast). These tips are straightforward and will be very helpful I think!

    Many thanks
