The Secret is a movie about the Law of Attraction. Its popularity is growing daily, especially after Oprah dedicated two entire shows to talking about the movie and interviewing the stars. Oprah wanted to know if the Law of Attraction applies to weight loss and the answer is yes. According to The Secret, every thought, feeling and action sends an electrical impulse to the brain. For sake of simplicity, I’m going to call this electrical impulse a message unit.

In our society we have the opportunity to absorb thousands of message units daily that will prevent any chance of long-term success with weight loss. In fact, I’m bold enough to assert that some of these messages are creating the weight epidemic in modern society. We are bombarded daily with message units of slender, young and flawless images in the media. Since most of us do not meet the perfect image set by the media the underlying subconscious deduction is something like this: “I’m not good enough, I’m not thin enough, I’m too fat, I don’t measure up”. So, if the law of attraction works the same for everything, guess what? You are attracting your weight problem simply by living in this society and absorbing the perfect images crowding your environment. If you constantly reinforce “I’m not good enough” you are sending a command to the Universe. The command is: “Give me everything that is not good enough because that is what I am and that is what I deserve.”

In addition to the extreme level of bombardment from media sources, many of us also get the “not good enough” message at home from family, friends and our significant other. Sometimes well meaning or perhaps downright cruel family members will say things like, “You’re getting fat or You’re a blimp or You’re a Whale” or any one of a long string of verbal insults. Since these message units come from important figures in our life, they hold more power than daily media message units and they stay in our minds longer. Many times these harmful comments are repeated in our own minds thousands, even millions of times over the course of our lives. We repeat the words to ourselves so many times that they become our own self-talk.

Some of the women I see in my office have struggled with weight for 25 years or more and it all started after their brother called them “fatty” or their mom took them to a diet program because they “didn’t look like the other girls.” In most cases, these women look back on their teenage pictures with dismay and confusion as they ask themselves, “How could I have ever thought I was fat” or, “Why did people call me fat?” The truth is, many times the girl that is called “fatty” is not fat. She is simply full or voluptuous or even just “normal.” Over the years we have lost touch with “normal” because we’ve been bombarded our entire life with thinner-than-healthy and even thinner-than-possible images of young women thousands of times each day. We begin to think that ultra-thin is the standard or ideal and to think of “normal” as fat because of our conditioning. The truth is, there is a wide range of shapes and sizes and all of them are “right” in fact, diversity is our beauty. If you use the BMI (Body Mass Index) as a guide for healthy weight rather than the mass media’s impossible images, or your own inner negative self-talk, you’ll begin to see that health comes in various sizes and shapes.

Diets directly contribute to weight problems because of the Law of Attraction. The problem with diets is that all the focus is on deprivation. Imagine how many message units you send to yourself when dieting. It probably sounds something like this: “I can’t have that, I can’t have this, I can never have anything good, I have to suffer to be thin, it’s so easy to put on weight but so hard to take off.” Add all of these message units together and you have tens of thousands of messages that are completely contradictory and adversary to your potential success in becoming permanently thin and attaining a size and shape that’s right for you.

Another way we can sabotage our weight loss efforts is by sending inconsistent messages. For example, every time you say something to yourself like “I should eat more vegetables” and you DON’T, you send a message: “I don’t do what I say I’m going to do.” Every time you say, “I need to exercise” and you DON’T, you send another message: “I don’t make time for myself” (translation: I’m not important or I’m last on the list). So, guess what? You’re creating a body and a life that’s “not good enough” and not worth the time. If you put self-care last and everything else first then you will probably never see the results you desire because something else will always be more important.

The movie The Secret talks about how everything is energy. A person with a weight problem has a lot of blocked or stored energy in their body and that energy needs to be released. Some of the ways to do this include crying, yelling, journaling and talking with a friend, therapist or coach. I have referred many of my clients to Deep Emotional Release Body Work with James Hyman. This type of work can produce immediate and lasting freedom from the effects of the hurts and traumas of childhood. When you release emotional blocks you are free to create and maintain a healthy eating style that will lead to gradual and permanent weight loss.

Part of the way to break free from the constant barrage of “not good enough” message units is to be aware that they exist. Become consciously aware of what you see and what you don’t see on the cover of every magazine. Notice how often you see these images and in how many different places throughout the day or night. Notice the headlines. Notice your self-talk. Are you comparing yourself harshly to an impossible standard? Are you judging or berating thin people? How are you feeling? Do you feel fat, ugly, invisible or unimportant?

If you live in a metropolis like I do, you see and hear these message units all day, everyday. They are on busses, bus benches, billboards, shopping carts, magazines, radio talk shows, T.V. shows, newspapers, websites, direct mail, e-mail and more. Millions of message units are delivered to you daily and they all say the same thing: You are not good enough. If you are a passive recipient of these messages, you create a life and a body that fits the criteria of “not good enough.” You will constantly strive to improve your look but no matter what you do, it will not be good enough.

Luckily, you can use the same techniques the media uses to your own benefit and you’ll only have to spend a few dollars doing it. Also good to know: messages that you create personally are more powerful to your subconscious mind than messages from the mass media. In the Donate Your Weight program I provide several pages of positive affirmations you can use to focus on weight loss success and self-care. In my affirmation CD’s I use the power of repetition and help listeners to focus on desired outcomes. You can use the same technique by recording your affirmations in your own voice and listening to them continuously throughout the day. Many times we have a weight problem because we always focus on what we don’t want. We repeat and rehearse words like “I’m fat or I still need to lose more weight” and eventually we create that reality. If you use affirmations daily on flash cards or audio recordings, you will begin to create the life and the body you want.

You can also use a vision board to create weight loss results. Simply cut out or create words and pictures that symbolize what you want to look like and feel like and focus on it every day. Be sure to avoid unrealistic images. There are many things you can do with only a few dollars that will literally change your life but you have to be willing to take the time to become aware of the messages that are creating or nurturing your weight problem in the first place. Then, you’ll need to dedicate time in your daily life to create a new reality. Just as your body today is a product of past thoughts and actions, your body of the future will be transformed based on the new thoughts and actions you reinforce from this day forward. Sheri O.

Whether we like to admit it or not, most of us have a common misconception that people who are truly successful in life have some sort of gift or skill, or that they were given some kind of incredible break or opportunity during their life that allowed them to achieve their incredible success.

The simple truth of the matter is that all people – no matter who they are, where they are from, or what their history is – have the ability to achieve massive success in life, and to maintain that level of success for as long as they desire to have it.

However, given the false misconception that the rich and famous and the “beautiful” people in the world have some “trick” to their success keeps the everyday person from even trying to achieve lofty levels of health, prosperity, and happiness.

The secret to true and lasting success is that we simply need to get out of our own way and permanently bury the self-limiting beliefs that have been keeping us from our dreams for all of these years!

Success Secret #1

Every single person who ever achieved or maintained success in this world first had a clear picture in their mind of what that success looked like. How much success do you think you will have if your statement of action looks like any of these?

I am going to be the best BLANK in the history of mankind!

My body is going to BLANK like no one else’s ever has!

I am going to build the most powerful company ever, and we are going to sell BLANK.

My ideal husband/wife is going to make me so happy because he/she will BLANK.

Do you see the point here? Even having an idea of what area of your life that you want to achieve success in – health, wealth, relationships, career, etc. – is simply not enough to get the gears turning in your life that will make it happen.

You have to know exactly what you want to do in your MIND before it can ever manifest and become a part of your actual existence. Do you think that the people who build skyscrapers say “Let’s just throw a bunch of concrete and steel together and see how high we can make it”?

No, they envision a beautiful tower of architectural superiority in their mind, and then they start working out a plan of how to make it happen. Although your goals may not be as far-reaching as a 100-story building downtown, the process begins in exactly the same place – in your mind.

Success Secret #2

You must BELIEVE that you can accomplish your goal! You would think that something as simple as that would go without saying, but the sad truth of the matter is that most people are brought up to believe that they are limited by what is realistically possible.

In fact, the more time you spend learning about the state of affairs in the world at large, as well as in your own neighborhood, the more you will become conditioned to believe that you can only accomplish certain things because “that’s just the way it is”.

Nothing could be further from the truth! As a wonderful and glorious human being, the only true skill that you have to have to succeed is a burning desire to accomplish whatever it is that you want to accomplish!

History is replete with examples of wildly successful people who attained their success not via expensive college educations or unlimited financial resources, but rather because they simply refused to give up until they had found or created a way to achieve their dreams.

Success Secret #3

No one who ever achieved any lasting success ever did so by sitting at home studying the long lost secrets of other successful people.

It doesn’t matter if you are talking about following the path of wealthy business men and women, tracking the health practices of people with picture-perfect bodies, or just cracking the code of someone who has mastered gloriously fulfilling relationships. Your ability to memorize their master plans will do you absolutely no good whatsoever if you do not get up and take action on what you have learned.

Does that mean that you need to plan to dedicate 18-hour work days to building the next business empire, spend countless hours at the gym, or practice every relationship-saving technique that you read about? Of course not.

However, if you want to achieve success in any endeavor in your life, you will have to put a powerful plan of action in place in order to make it happen, and stick to that plan over the long-term, rather than just the short-term.

The Secrets to Success of the Simple Minded are 3 very ordinary concepts that every single person ever born has the ability to bring to bear:

Know what you Want – Believe that you can have It – Take consistent action to attain It

Everything else on the path to goal attainment and success are merely logistical details.

You’ve heard it before, possibly more times than you care to remember. To lose weight simply eat less and exercise more. The problem is there could be nothing further from the truth. The concept is true—eat less and exercise more—but there is nothing simple about weight loss! Don’t let anyone try to convince you otherwise.
I could spend hours, no maybe days or weeks explaining why it is difficult. However, I imagine that isn’t necessary because you already know just how hard it can be. What’s worse is that losing the weight is only half the battle. Keeping the weight off can be even more difficult!
However, there is a secret to successful weight loss. Unfortunately, many people who learn this secret fail to recognize its power. Instead they are like those who seek a get-rich-quick scheme. They are easy targets for the next clever marketer who promises to reveal how to lose weight fast without a proper diet or exercise!
1. The secret or single most important concept to keep in mind for successful long-term weight loss has been well proven. You must choose a healthy diet and lifestyle that you can maintain for the rest of your life. That’s it.
Did you know that the true meaning of a diet is simply what you eat? You are already on a diet of your own choosing whether you think of it that way or not.
The good news is that you have control over what you select for your diet. And every day offers you an opportunity to make small changes to improve. Small changes maintained over time can result in significant results—weight loss, looking better, feeling better, and reduced risk for illness and disease.
The remaining 9 tips will teach you what you need to keep in mind when making changes to your diet.
2. Choose to eat lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans. The benefits of these choices are enormous! These foods are chock full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and healthy phytochemicals.
Vitamins and minerals work overtime to keep your body functioning properly. Fiber adds bulk to the food you eat, gives you a sense of fullness and satisfaction, and keeps your digestive system working smoothly. Phytochemicals are the new kids on the block. They are the source of healthy antioxidants and other compounds that benefit us in a multitude of ways scientists have only begun to discover.
Add a small amount of lean meat and fish, and low-fat milk products to round out and balance your diet. But give emphasis to the fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans.
3. Eat fewer refined carbohydrates. Yes, this means cutting back or eliminating sweets and refined breads and cereals. Instead choose to eat whole grains whenever possible. Look for whole grain listed first on the ingredient list and products with more than two grams of fiber per serving. Four or more grams per serving are better.
4. Drink lots of water! Six to eight glasses of water are best. Tea and a small amount of fruit juice can be a source of some of that water. Reduce or eliminate your consumption of additional fruit juice, sugary drinks, or alcoholic beverages.
5. Avoid highly processed foods with added sugars, artificial sweeteners or excessive fat. Many low-fat cookies, cakes, cookies, chips, crackers, and desserts are high in refined carbohydrates and calories and have little or no fiber.
6. Determine how many calories you actually need. Be realistic! Calculate your basal metabolic rate and calculate the additional energy (calories) you need for daily activities. Most women need a minimum of 1200 calories and men 1600 calories a day to prevent their metabolism from slowing down.
7. Keep a food diary to keep track of your food choices and count calories at least for a week or two. Putting in the time and effort to do this may not be fun. But the benefits are HUGE. You will likely gain some essential insight about your current food habits and what you need to do to change.
8. Learn what triggers you to overeat. Jot some notes in your food diary each time you reach for food. Were you actually hungry or were you eating just because the food was there and you could? Was the food a reward or means of soothing your anger or frustration after a difficult day?
The key here is having an understanding of what you are feeling before you eat. This gives you the option to make a different choice.
9. Get support! Whatever the challenge you might be facing, having family or friends who are supportive is a big help! However, be aware of those who may want you to stay just as you are and instead of helping actually sabotage your efforts.
10. Exercise! What can I say? Exercise matters! Be creative and find a form of exercise that you will like.
Take these suggestions to heart. Make one small change at a time. Added up the changes you make with your diet and lifestyle could mean significant weight loss and better health for years to come!

A few months ago, I was at a phase in my life where I was ready and willing to try anything to lose some weight, including some of the most anticipated and hyped up ‘magic’ weight loss pills out there on the market. But I am certain that I am not alone in my quest and determination to lose some weight – a lot of us women have at one point or another at least considered taking the diet pill if we haven’t at least tried them ourselves.

And in our quest to lose this weight, we are most easily swayed over by the many television advertisements with satisfied men and women who claim to swear by the efficacy of the product – and then we too become easily fooled into trying these miracle products. But how do you really determine which is real and which is just advertising gimmick? How do you choose the best weight loss pill for you?

Weight loss pills can fall into one of two categories – the prescription pill and the non-prescription pill. The prescription pill is one that has been tested and approved by the food and drug authorities, and has been thoroughly researched to account for varying side reactions and other unwanted reactions that the user may have with the substances or chemicals that make up the drug.

Prescription pills for weight loss are however not recommended for the casual weight loss program; neither you nor I, the casual weight watcher, could or should try these. Why? Well first of all, you need your doctor to recommend it to your pharmacy before you can get it, and second of all, your doctor would not recommend it unless you are extremely overweight so as to be a health risk to your own self.

While most prescription weight loss pills are so strong or effective that they can cause severe side reactions in many users, if used under the careful admission of a professional health care provider or a doctor (hence the reason it is called prescription) you can greatly decrease the likelihood of something really bad going wrong. In addition, the doctor would be able to take your dosage up or down depending on your reactions and the results being obtained from the pills.

On the other hand, the non-prescription weight loss pill is the complete reverse. It is seldom researched with the enthusiasm of the prescription pills, and its use is not as closely monitored by the doctor. It is not food and drug approved, and its efficacy cannot be guaranteed. It is however the weight loss pill that either you or I would use to aid in our weight loss, and they can work in a number of ways that include influencing your eating habits, increasing metabolism, or relieving constipation.

You may calculate your calorie intake for each meal, but you could also try a few strategies that may help you achieve long-term weight loss and don`t require a great effort. Here are ten of them:Tip #1:  Check your weight once per week.There`s no use to check your weight every day since your body may retain more water one day. Once per week is enough to correctly monitor your weight loss results.Tip #2: Don`t spend more than two hours per day in front of the TV.Adults that spend more than two hours per day in front of the TV have a seven percent higher calorie intake compared to those who spend less time in front of the TV, according to studies.Tip #3: Talk to a friend three times per week.If you decided to start a diet, the long-term moral support is extremely important. Friends may help you stick to your diet and resist in front of temptations.Tip #4:  Consume four grams of fibers per meal.A diet rich in fibers may provide you the daily calorie intake without feeling hunger between meals. Women who consume less than thirteen grams of fibers per day have a higher risk to gain weight compared to women who stick to the daily recommended dose of fibers, studies showed.Tip #5: Do 5,000 extra steps per day.Regularly, a person with a normal physical activity does 5,000 steps per day. By increasing their number, you may have benefits such as low LDL cholesterol, higher levels of HDL cholesterol, stable blood pressure, stable blood sugar levels, and weight loss.Tip #6: Write down what you eat.By monitoring what you eat and your physical activity you have a better control on your diet.Tip #7: Sleep seven hours per night.People who don`t spent enough time sleeping have low levels of a hormone that gives the sense of fullness. It was showed that women who sleep with four hours less have a 234% higher risk to become obese.Tip #8: Drink eight glasses of water per day.Tip #9: After nine hours of work, rest!People who spend time at work after schedule are more probably to gain weight unlike those who respect the normal working schedule, according to studies.Tip #10: Avoid high-carb products.

One popular weight loss supplements available in the market today take the form of tea. Stores all over sell slimming tea, dieter’s tea and others but all of them are actually the same. They may appear to be effective, but what is not seen may actually harm you.
One of the effects of drinking dieter’s tea is frequent bowel movement. This gives people the feeling of body cleansing. These people may get toxins out of their body but it isn’t exactly the only thing that slimming tea actually does to the body. Slimming tea contains herbs which are natural laxatives. These include aloe, senna, rhubarb root, cascara, buckthorn and castor oil. These are products which are derived from plants and are used since the ancient times because of their potency in treating constipation and to inducing bowel movement.
Cascara, castor oil and senna are substances which are recognized as laxatives available over the counter and are also regulated as drugs. Scientific studies show that diarrhea induced by laxatives does not absorb significant amounts of calories taken in the body.
The reason for this is that laxatives do not act on the small intesines where most of the calories are absorbed. Instead, they work on the large intestines. If taken in large amounts for prolonged periods, it can affect fat absorption of the body. This may lead to greasy diarrhea and loss of weight. Abuse of laxatives is common practice among people who suffer from bulimia and anorexia nervosa.
While weight loss can be guaranteed by overdosing on laxatives, it may also cause permanent damage to the gastrointesitinal tract and the weakening and softening of the bones, a condition known as osteomalacia. Drinkers of slimming teas may actually patronize the product because they are less axpensive and taste better than other laxatives sold in the market. Other people, such as those with eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia nervosa drink dieter’s tea because they work fast and produce watery stool and having loose consistency.
Women may even be more susceptible to the effects of slimming teas. Although they may are not known to interfer directly with the woman’s menstrual cycle and fertility, they should watch out if drinking them causes them to rapidly shed off weight. It is also not safe for pregnant women to be taking in laxatives of any kind. Wise and reponsible herbalists also discourage the use of senna and other herbal products with laxative properties for pregnant women and women who are trying to conceive.
One should be wary about these findings because the labeling of slimming teas in the market today can be absolutely misleading. For instance, they commonly refer to the laxative qualities as “natural bowel cleansing properties” and not specifically use the word “laxative”.Some even use the term “low-calorie” on their labelling. These products in fact, contain essentially no calories nor nutrients whatsoever; unless of course, if they are sweetened.
Adverse effects of misusing laxatives in the form of slimming tea generally occur when taken in more than or longer than recommended. These include nausea, stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, fainting, rectal bleeding,electrolyte disorder and dehydration as well as injury and worse, death. It was also reported that excess use of stimulant laxatives cause severe constipation and pain for long periods (as much as for decades) due to the colon losing its function. It eventually led to surgery removing the colon altogether. 1000s of Affordable Beauty, Cosmetics, Diet and Nutrition Products here -

  When it comes down to weight loss there are certain things which help us succeed in dropping unwanted pounds and certain things which hold us back from it. Knowing what stimulates weight loss is the key to victory. By this day and age, numerous people have tried various dieting habits and they have been kind enough to share with the rest of the world what works and what doesn’t. Here are 3 most effective weight loss tips. The number one tip is to consume five servings of fruit and vegetables each day. Doing so will not only benefit your overall health but it will also prevent unwanted weight gain. It is a proven fact that fruit and vegetables are loaded with fiber and water, which means that they keep you feeling full for longer periods of time; thereby reducing your chances of snacking. Another tip in achieving weight loss success is to exercise regularly. Try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. Continuous exercise will help you build muscle and it is a well known fact that muscle helps burn calories faster. And last but not least, consuming more protein improves weight loss results. A recent confirms that women who consumed higher levels of protein (approximately 110 grams daily) maintained a 14 pound weight loss for more than a year. Women who consumed 72 grams of protein daily experienced only a 7 ½ pound weight loss during the same time period. So be sure that you are getting the proper amount of protein into your daily diet. And remember not to be afraid to speak with a nutritionist about helpful tips regarding the proper weight loss diet. Following these three helpful fitness tips will help you succeed in achieving your desired weight. Lauren S. Johnson writes health articles about fitness and nutrition.

Whoever said that men lose weight with fewer complications was right. It happens to be true. Men are less caring about weight loss programs. Actually there are women who consider themselves to be thin reaching the age of 35 and even when they weight the same amount of pounds at 40 their attitude towards their weight might be totally different. It could be funny if it wasn’t so. In reality they could be right as they may basically be fatter than they used to be five years ago.It is silly to trust the scale to deal with the previously mentioned problem. Your weight is not always the explanation to what is going on inside your body. There is an example to consider on the current matter. A grown woman with two kids at the age of 30 weights 63 kg. At that point, only the quarter percentage of her body is made up of fat. (Pros consider 23% to 33% body fat healthy for ladies between the ages of 40 to 60).It should be mentioned that the case is not fulfilled until she turns 49. Her weight might not be different, but the percentage of fat will change from 25 to 35%. This is a result of gaining some weight and losing some muscles she had 19 years ago. The compactness of muscles is higher than fat is. So it turns out to be that the same amount of kilos will occupy more body space than muscles do. This means that when she weights the same she becomes fatter. Many people go on talking about muscles and how they burn calories when the body activates in the right way. When the muscles are lost, the set of chemical reactions that occur in living cells becomes slower. The only solution is to take it seriously and follow a strict food schedule where the caloric intake in being controlled. The solution here is to gain back some muscles in order to get rid of fatness. There are a lot of advices a woman could take but here are some of the most important ones. The first advice is the one any woman hates the most – she needs to start controlling the amount of calories she takes and compare it with the amount she needs to take.The next advice is to keep the diet and eat wisely. This is the major concern. Women that have little children meet some significant difficulties as their stomach receives the food that belongs there and does not. When their kids do not finish their meals it is their mothers that finish it and gain the weight.If you want to try different medications – go for Phentermine HCL. It is not harmful to your body and it can give you a pleasant result. A lot of women that tried Phentermine remained satisfied with it as it makes you feel less hungry when you want to eat. This will help you look and feel much better.And … of course – you should exercise is you want to stay fit. It is not news. No body gels and cremes will help you unless you train your muscles right. It is good to have a personal trainer that will make up a special exercising plan for you. This way you will be able to lose some unwanted kilos and look beautiful keeping it healthy!

Below is what they told them in simple to follow tips, they’ve learned from successful experience with thousands of clients. Some tips are new. Some you’ve heard before, but they’re repeated because they work. I Can Only Handle One Diet Change Right Now. What Should I Do? 1. Add just one fruit or veggie serving daily. Get comfortable with that, then add an extra serving until you reach 8 to 10 a day. 2. Eat at least two servings of a fruit or veggie at every meal. 3. Resolve never to supersize your food portions—unless you want to supersize your clothes. 4. Make eating purposeful, not mindless. Whenever you put food in your mouth, peel it, unwrap it, plate it, and sit. Engage all of the senses in the pleasure of nourishing your body. 5. Start eating a big breakfast. It helps you eat fewer total calories throughout the day. 6. Make sure your plate is half veggies and/or fruit at both lunch and dinner. Are there Any Easy Tricks to Help Me Cut Calories? 7. Eating out? Halve it, and bag the rest. A typical restaurant entree has 1,000 to 2,000 calories, not even counting the bread, appetizer, beverage, and dessert. 8. When dining out, make it automatic: Order one dessert to share. 9. Use a salad plate instead of a dinner plate. 10. See what you eat. Plate your food instead of eating out of the jar or bag. 11. Eat the low-cal items on your plate first, then graduate. Start with salads, veggies, and broth soups, and eat meats and starches last. By the time you get to them, you’ll be full enough to be content with smaller portions of the high-calorie choices. 12. Instead of whole milk, switch to 1 percent. If you drink one 8-oz glass a day, you’ll lose 5 lb in a year. 13. Juice has as many calories, ounce for ounce, as soda. Set a limit of one 8-oz glass of fruit juice a day. 14. Get calories from foods you chew, not beverages. Have fresh fruit instead of fruit juice. 15. Keep a food journal. It really works wonders. 16. Follow the Chinese saying: “Eat until you are eight-tenths full.” 17. Use mustard instead of mayo. 18. Eat more soup. The noncreamy ones are filling but low-cal. 19. Cut back on or cut out caloric drinks such as soda, sweet tea, lemonade, etc. People have lost weight by making just this one change. If you have a 20-oz bottle of Coca-Cola every day, switch to Diet Coke. You should lose 25 lb in a year. 20. Take your lunch to work. 21. Sit when you eat. 22. Dilute juice with water. 23. Have mostly veggies for lunch. 24. Eat at home. 25. Limit alcohol to weekends. How Can I Eat More Veggies? 26. Have a V8 or tomato juice instead of a Diet Coke at 3 pm. 27. Doctor your veggies to make them delicious: Dribble maple syrup over carrots, and sprinkle chopped nuts on green beans. 28. Mix three different cans of beans and some diet Italian dressing. Eat this three-bean salad all week. 29. Don’t forget that vegetable soup counts as a vegetable. 30. Rediscover the sweet potato. 31. Use prebagged baby spinach everywhere: as “lettuce” in sandwiches, heated in soups, wilted in hot pasta, and added to salads. 32. Spend the extra few dollars to buy vegetables that are already washed and cut up. 33. Really hate veggies? Relax. If you love fruits, eat plenty of them; they are just as healthy (especially colorful ones such as oranges, mangoes, and melons). 34. Keep seven bags of your favorite frozen vegetables on hand. Mix any combination, microwave, and top with your favorite low-fat dressing. Enjoy 3 to 4 cups a day. Makes a great quick dinner. Can You Give Me a Mantra that will Help Me Stick to My Diet? 35. “The best portion of high-calorie foods is the smallest one. The best portion of vegetables is the largest one. Period.” 36. “I’ll ride the wave. My cravings will disappear after 10 minutes if I turn my attention elsewhere.” 37. “I want to be around to see my grandchildren, so I can forgo a cookie now.” 38. “I am a work in progress.” 39. “It’s more stressful to continue being fat than to stop overeating.” I Eat Healthy, but I’m Overweight. What Mistakes Could I Be Making without Realizing It? 40. Skipping meals. Many healthy eaters “diet by day and binge by night.” 41. Don’t “graze” yourself fat. You can easily munch 600 calories of pretzels or cereal without realizing it. 42. Eating pasta like crazy. A serving of pasta is 1 cup, but some people routinely eat 4 cups.43. Eating supersize bagels of 400 to 500 calories for snacks. 44. Ignoring “Serving Size” on the Nutrition Facts panel. 45. Snacking on bowls of nuts. Nuts are healthy but dense with calories. Put those bowls away, and use nuts as a garnish instead of a snack. 46. Thinking all energy bars and fruit smoothies are low-cal. What Can I Eat for a Healthy Low-Cal Dinner if I Don’t Want to Cook? 47. A smoothie made with fat-free milk, frozen fruit, and wheat germ. 48. The smallest fast-food burger (with mustard and ketchup, not mayo) and a no-cal beverage. Then at home, have an apple or baby carrots. 49. A peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread with a glass of 1 percent milk and an apple. 50. Precooked chicken strips and microwaved frozen broccoli topped with Parmesan cheese. 51. A healthy frozen entree with a salad and a glass of 1 percent milk. 52. Scramble eggs in a nonstick skillet. Pop some asparagus in the microwave, and add whole wheat toast. If your cholesterol levels are normal, you can have seven eggs a week! 53. A bag of frozen vegetables heated in the microwave, topped with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts. 54. Prebagged salad topped with canned tuna, grape tomatoes, shredded reduced-fat cheese, and low-cal Italian dressing. 55. Keep lean sandwich fixings on hand: whole wheat bread, sliced turkey, reduced-fat cheese, tomatoes, mustard with horseradish. 56. Heat up a can of good soup. 57. Cereal, fruit, and fat-free milk makes a good meal anytime. 58. Try a veggie sandwich from Subway. 59. Precut fruit for a salad and add yogurt. What’s Your Best Advice for Avoiding those Extra Holiday Pounds? 60. Don’t tell yourself, “It’s okay, it’s the holidays.” That opens the door to 6 weeks of splurging. 61. Remember, EAT before you meet. Have this small meal before you go to any parties: a hardboiled Egg, Apple, and a Thirst quencher (water, seltzer, diet soda, tea). 62. As obvious as it sounds, don’t stand near the food at parties. Make the effort, and you’ll find you eat less. 63. At a buffet? Eating a little of everything guarantees high calories. Decide on three or four things, only one of which is high in calories. Save that for last so there’s less chance of overeating. 64. For the duration of the holidays, wear your snuggest clothes that don’t allow much room for expansion. Wearing sweats is out until January. 65. Give it away! After company leaves, give away leftover food to neighbors, doormen, or delivery people, or take it to work the next day. 66. Walk around the mall three times before you start shopping. 67. Make exercise a nonnegotiable priority. 68. Dance to music with your family in your home. One dietitian reported that when she asks her patients to do this, initially they just smile, but once they’ve done it, they say it is one of the easiest ways to involve the whole family in exercise. How Can I Control a Raging Sweet Tooth? 69. Once in a while, have a lean, mean salad for lunch or dinner, and save the meal’s calories for a full dessert. 70. Are you the kind of person who does better if you make up your mind to do without sweets and just not have them around? Or are you going to do better if you have a limited amount of sweets every day? One RD reported that most of her clients pick the latter and find they can avoid bingeing after a few days. 71. If your family thinks they need a very sweet treat every night, try to strike a balance between offering healthy choices but allowing them some “free will.” Compromise with low-fat ice cream and fruit, or sometimes just fruit with a dollop of whipped cream. 72. Try 2 weeks without sweets. It’s amazing how your cravings vanish. 73. Eat more fruit. A person who gets enough fruit in his diet doesn’t have a raging sweet tooth. 74. Eat your sweets, just eat them smart! Carve out about 150 calories per day for your favorite sweet. That amounts to about an ounce of chocolate, half a modest slice of cake, or 1/2 cup of regular ice cream. 75. Try these smart little sweets: sugar-free hot cocoa, frozen red grapes, fudgsicles, sugar-free gum, Nutri-Grain chocolate fudge twists, Tootsie Rolls, and hard candy. How Can I Conquer My Downfall: Bingeing at Night? 76. Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The large majority of people who struggle with night eating are those who skip meals or don’t eat balanced meals during the day. This is a major setup for overeating at night. 77. Eat your evening meal in the kitchen or dining room, sitting down at the table. 78. Drink cold unsweetened raspberry tea. It tastes great and keeps your mouth busy. 79. Change your nighttime schedule. It will take effort, but it will pay off. You need something that will occupy your mind and hands. 80. If you’re eating at night due to emotions, you need to focus on getting in touch with what’s going on and taking care of yourself in a way that really works. Find a nonfood method of coping with your stress. 81. Put a sign on the kitchen and refrigerator doors: “Closed after Dinner.” 82. Brush your teeth right after dinner to remind you: No more food. 83. Eat without engaging in any other simultaneous activity. No reading, watching TV, or sitting at the computer. 84. Eating late at night won’t itself cause weight gain. It’s how many calories—not when you eat them—that counts. How Can I Reap Added Health Benefits from My Dieting? 85. Fat-free isn’t always your best bet. Research has found that none of the lycopene or alpha- or beta-carotene that fight cancer and heart disease is absorbed from salads with fat-free dressing. Only slightly more is absorbed with reduced-fat dressing; the most is absorbed with full-fat dressing. But remember, use your dressing in moderate amounts. 86. Skipping breakfast will leave you tired and craving naughty foods by midmorning. To fill up healthfully and tastefully, try this sweet, fruity breakfast full of antioxidants. In a blender, process 1 c nonfat plain or vanilla yogurt, 1 1/3 c frozen strawberries (no added sugar), 1 peeled kiwi, and 1 peeled banana. Pulse until mixture is milkshake consistency. Makes one 2-cup serving; 348 calories and 1.5 fat grams. 87. If you’re famished by 4 p.m. and have no alternative but an office vending machine, reach for the nuts—. The same goes if your only choices are what’s available in the hotel minibar. 88. Next time you’re feeling wiped out in late afternoon, forgo that cup of coffee and reach for a cup of yogurt instead. The combination of protein, carbohydrate, and fat in an 8-ounce serving of low-fat yogurt will give you a sense of fullness and well-being that coffee can’t match, as well as some vital nutrients. If you haven’t eaten in 3 to 4 hours, your blood glucose levels are probably dropping, so eating a small amount of nutrient-rich food will give your brain and your body a boost. 89. Making just a few changes to your pantry shelves can get you a lot closer to your weight loss goals. Here’s what to do: If you use corn and peanut oil, replace it with olive oil. Same goes for breads—go for whole wheat. Trade in those fatty cold cuts like salami and bologna and replace them canned tuna, sliced turkey breast, and lean roast beef. Change from drinking whole milk to fat-free milk or low-fat soy milk. This is hard for a lot of people so try transitioning down to 2 percent and then 1 percent before you go fat-free. 90. Nothing’s less appetizing than a crisper drawer full of mushy vegetables. Frozen vegetables store much better, plus they may have greater nutritional value than fresh. Food suppliers typically freeze veggies just a few hours after harvest, locking in the nutrients. Fresh veggies, on the other hand, often spend days in the back of a truck before they reach your supermarket. 91. Worried about the trans-fat content in your peanut butter? Good news: In a test done on Skippy, JIF, Peter Pan, and a supermarket brand, the levels of trans fats per 2-tablespoon serving were far lower than 0.5 gram—low enough that under proposed laws, the brands can legally claim zero trans fats on the label. They also contained only 1 gram more sugar than natural brands—not a significant difference. Eating Less Isn’t Enough—What Exercising Tips Will Help Me Shed Pounds? 92. Overeating is not the result of exercise. Vigorous exercise won’t stimulate you to overeat. It’s just the opposite. Exercise at any level helps curb your appetite immediately following the workout. 93. When you’re exercising, you shouldn’t wait for thirst to strike before you take a drink. By the time you feel thirsty, you’re already dehydrated. Try this: Drink at least 16 ounces of water, sports drinks, or juices two hours before you exercise. Then drink 8 ounces an hour before and another 4 to 8 ounces every 15 to 20 minutes during your workout. Finish with at least 16 ounces after you’re done exercising. 94. Tune in to an audio book while you walk. It’ll keep you going longer and looking forward to the next walk—and the next chapter! Check your local library for a great selection. Look for a whodunit; you might walk so far you’ll need to take a cab home! 95. Think yoga’s too serene to burn calories? Think again. You can burn 250 to 350 calories during an hour-long class (that’s as much as you’d burn from an hour of walking)! Plus, you’ll improve muscle strength, flexibility, and endurance. 96. Drinking too few can hamper your weight loss efforts. That’s because dehydration can slow your metabolism by 3 percent, or about 45 fewer calories burned a day, which in a year could mean weighing 5 pounds more. The key to water isn’t how much you drink, it’s how frequently you drink it. Small amounts sipped often work better than 8 ounces gulped down at once. How Can I Manage My Emotional Eating and Get the Support I Need? 97. A registered dietitian (RD) can help you find healthy ways to manage your weight with food. To find one in your area who consults with private clients check out the ads at the top of the page, ask your friends or consult your yellow pages 98. The best place to drop pounds may be your own house of worship. Researchers set up healthy eating and exercise programs in 16 Baltimore churches. More than 500 women participated and after a year the most successful lost an average of 20 lb. Weight loss programs based on faith are so successful because there’s a built-in community component that people can feel comfortable with. 99. Here’s another reason to keep level-headed all the time: Pennsylvania State University research has found that women less able to cope with stress—shown by blood pressure and heart rate elevations—ate twice as many fatty snacks as stress-resistant women did, even after the stress stopped (in this case, 25 minutes of periodic jackhammer-level noise and an unsolvable maze). 100. Sitting at a computer may help you slim down. When researchers at Brown University School of Medicine put 92 people on online weight loss programs for a year, those who received weekly e-mail counseling shed 5 1/2 more pounds than those who got none. Counselors provided weekly feedback on diet and exercise logs, answered questions, and cheered them on. Most major online diet programs offer many of these features.
