SOME SIMPLE THINGS TO DO TO HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS

With over 10 years of experience working with patients who have severe weight problems, I have learned about many easy but effective changes in habits that will help you shed more pounds.  It starts with looking around your kitchen and pantry to see what types of food you typically buy.  If you have a lot of snacks, chips, cookies, and candy, than you need to reevaluate buying these foods.  The best thing to do is not buy anymore of these items and replace your comfort foods with healthy snacks, i.e. fruits, vegetables and high protein snacks such as protein bars.

Next you have to evaluate how you prepare your dinner.  Do you plan ahead or put together a meal in 15 minutes with what ever is around the kitchen?  Do you think about the size of the portions for each family member or just put out a lot of food and expect left overs?  Are your meals balanced and do you serve each family member or serve family style?

The best results occur when you plan meals ahead.  You can then calculate approximately how many calories
each member will consume.  Your portion sizes will be controlled by you and this eliminates anybody from eating too many calories.  It is much easier to have a balanced meal when planning ahead.  If you try to put together meals right before you eat, you will tend to eat more and eat foods that are higher in calories. 

Putting all of these simple techniques to work will help you begin to lose weight without feeling that you are starving or being denied the foods you want.
