Weight Loss Basics
- Eat Slowly and enjoy your food. Do not skip meals or shakes! Skipping meals can result in headaches or binge eating.
- Drink at least 8 glasses (64 ounces) of plain, fresh water daily. This is in addition to other liquids you drink which may include low calorie beverages like herbal teas, decaffeinated coffee or diet sodas. Not drinking enough fluid can lead to dehydration, a common cause of headaches. Keep in mind that alcoholic beverages and fruit juices are high in calories and if used in excess can sabotage your weight loss effort.
- Keep high-calorie sweets and desserts (like cake, cookies, ice cream, and dried fruits) as well as fried and fatty foods out of the house. Also avoid products made with white flour such as white bread, rice and pasta even low-fat or non-fat cookies.
- Eat plenty of high-fiber foods including a minimum of 2 cups of garden salad daily along with plenty of dark green and yellow vegetables. Snack on fresh vegetable sticks. Also include 1-2 pieces of fresh fruit daily as snacks. Fiber promotes a natural, healthy colon.
- For your main meal, starchy servings should include whole grain, complex carbohydrates such as whole-grain breads and pasta, brown rice, corn, potatoes, beans and lentils.
- Season your foods with herbs, garlic, pepper, vinegar or lemon rather than salt. Avoid high-sodium soups, frozen entrees and vegetable juices.
- Weigh and take measurements only one time per week. Body weight can fluctuate on a daily basis, so frequent weighing and measuring can lead to unwarranted frustration.
- Use the Weight Management Programs to lose weight and to maintain your desired weight. Refer to this guide if you find yourself gaining back weight or returning to poor eating habits.
Daily Meals
Your daily meal, which may be lunch or dinner ( I recommend dinner), should include a wide variety of low-fat, high-fiber foods including lean meat, poultry or fish, fresh or steamed vegetables, a salad and small portion of starch such as brown rice, corn, beans or potatoes. Meal size will vary according to body weight. It should be as follows:
- 5 ounces of lean meat, poultry or fish. Avoid prepared or processed meat, such as hot dogs and delicatessen-type meats as they are high in sodium and saturated fat.
- 1-2 cups of steamed vegetables (e.g. green beans, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, etc.)
- Choose between 1 small baked potato, 1 cup brown rice, 1 and 1/2 cups of whole wheat pasta, or 1 cup peas, beans, lentils or corn with 1 teaspoon of canola margarine.
- 1-2 cups of garden salad with no more than 2 tablespoons of an olive oil based dressing.
- Calorie free beverage of choice.
What about exercise?
A healthy lifestyle is an active lifestyle. Mild daily exercise like walking, gardening or light calisthenics helps burn extra calories and improves skin and muscle tome. If you plan to begin a vigorous exercise program, it is always advisable to first consult with your physician.
Maintenance
Now that you have reached your desired weight, maintenance is a top priority to keep you looking and feeling your best and for optimum health. Maintain your weight by replacing on meal a day with a Formula 1 shake. For good health continue to take Formulas 2 and 3. Your two regular meals may become more liberal, but continue to avoid fried foods, fatty or oily foods and sweets. Should your weight start going up, replace a second regular meal with a shake. Remember, keeping those unwanted pounds off is just as important as taking them off.
