How to Lose Weight? Eat Less Food!
How to lose weight? Eat less food.
That’s pretty simple and straightforward.
Eat a good salad every day (good means big and lots of green and fresh vegetables) and eat way less food.
I do two meal replacements each day, for breakfast and lunch, substituting highly nutritious “energy bars” for these meals. I buy the “Greens” Chocolate Energy bars at Trader Joe’s. They contain blue-green algae, organic wheat grass, organic barley grass – superfoods – good stuff. There are other good quality energy bars out there too, but don’t be fooled by “energy bars” that are just “junk food” in disguise. Read the label and use your head.
And, I eat way less food at my evening meal – one plate of food. Balanced. Protein, veggies, no bread. Well, once a week we have pasta with meatballs and I have a piece of seeded (& toasted) french bread. But I only eat one plate of food and I keep it balanced.
To lose weight you have to eat less food. Live with it.
I take a packet of vitamins and minerals each day. If you’re eating less food, you need nutritional support. Find and buy a reputable brand of vitamins and minerals and take some every day.
Eat less food.
I drink several cups of herbal tea throughout the day. One teabag of Starbuck’s Vanilla Rooibos plus one teabag of Trader Joe’s Ruby Red Chai – the Ruby Red contains ginger root. And I add a pinch of ground cayenne pepper and two shakes of cinnamon and five drops of stevia.
With my reduced calorie intake, the tea keeps me going all day.
Don’t go nuts with this exercise stuff, especially if you’ve cut your calories down substantially. Stretch. Take a walk. Keep things sane.
And eat less food.
I read a story a year or so ago about a couple who purchased a house that was in a farming community and was built, oh – maybe 80 years ago – in the 1930′s. When they were moving in and unpacking and tried to put their dinner plates into a cupboard, they were surprised to discover that they didn’t fit.
Remember, farmers ate rather large portions of food and worked from sun-up to sun-down, every day. They needed lots of calories and good nutrition to keep them fueled and going throughout the day.
Yet, here we are, with plates designed for even larger portions than farmers were served. So much so that these modern, over-sized plates wouldn’t even fit into a farmer’s cupboard!
Is this nuts or what?
Eat less food.
We’ve all been sold a bill of goods by grocery and restaurant advertisements over the years that have convinced us that we need to eat larger and larger portions of food to be healthy.
Nuts!
Eat less food.
Your body is too busy supplying nutrients to its extra 50 to 100 pounds of body weight that your vital organs, such as your heart, liver, etc., get short-changed, nutritionally speaking.
You need to be at your ideal weight. You need to eat less food.
You want the fountain of youth? Be at your ideal weight. Eat less food.
You want better health? Be at your ideal weight. Eat less food.
Did I mention that you need to eat less food?
Eat…
…less…
…food!
If you’re serious about retaining your ideal weight, extending your life, feeling better, looking sharp in your clothes, etc., then you’ll have to tell your body to expect less food. Don’t forget who’s in charge of your body. You are!
Before beginning any diet or weight loss program, no matter which, consult with your doctor. But don’t let him prescribe any harmful psychiatric drugs or diet pills loaded with stimulants.
Use your head. There are safe and sane herbal remedies out there that you just may learn about if you keep your eyes open!
Is there an online store like Trader Joe’s or Whole foods that sell unique, healthy, organic, ect.. stuff?
