Top Fast Secrets

• Keep track of everything you eat and drink. No

need to estimate calories - just write down the

type of food or beverage and the amount.

• Cut your fat intake in half, that means half as

much margarine or butter on toast, vegetables and

your muffin, half the mayonnaise on your sandwich,

and half the oil in the pan when you saute foods.

You get the idea!

• Limit the sugar treats to three times per week

maximum.

• Include good sources of protein at meal,

chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese,

eggs or yogurt.

• Eat at least one meatless lunch and dinner each

week to reduce fat, increase fiber, and get

yourself into the habit of building meals around

whole grains, beans and vegetables.

• If you're not currently using skim milk, go

down to the level of fat content in the milk you

use. For example, if you currently use two

percent, use only one percent. If you insist on

whole milk, try two percent.

• Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every

day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season.

• Instead of fruit juice for breakfast or snack,

drink water. Add a slice of lemon or lime for

zest.

• Include two servings of vegetables with lunch

and dinner, for a total of at least four servings

per day.

• Choose one to two servings of foods made from

whole grains with every meal.

• Shut off the TV whenever you eat - that

includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we

automatically eat larger portions when we snack

in front of the tube, and typically those foods

are high in fat and sugar, which means excess

calories!

• Choose calories you can chew - that means only

calorie-free beverages (except for milk) Sodas

are loaded with empty calories, and fruit juices

provide less fiber and vitamins per calorie than

the fruit they're made from.

• Plan ahead for meals and snacks so you know

exactly what you plan to eat. Last-minute choice

tends to be higher in calories and lower in

satisfaction.

• Don't forget to take vital hoodia to reduce

your appetite.
