Loss Guidelines
# Replace sugary beverages with Green
Tea. That can reduce your energy intake by several
hundred calories per day
# Eat at least one midday snack to
decrease your risk of obesity by 39%. Remember that
a good snack is focused on lean protein and a high-fiber
fruit or vegetable. Nuts are also an option
# Don't eat dinner as your biggest
meal of the day. If you do, you increase your risk
of obesity by 6%. You should be eating several mini-meals
all day long so that you are not starving at dinner
# Don't wait more than 3 hours after
waking up to eat breakfast or you increase your
risk of obesity by 43%
# Don't eat more than a third of your
meals in restaurants or you increase your risk of
obesity by 69%. It is too hard to control the food
contents at a restaurant. Pack your own meals and
snacks as often as you can
# Don't go to bed hungry (3 or more
hours after your last meal or snack) or you increase
your risk of obesity by 101%. Again, think high-protein,
high-fiber mini-meals to keep hunger at bay and
to control your energy levels
# Don't eat breakfast away from home
or you increase your risk of obesity by 137%
# And don't skip breakfast or you
increase your risk of obesity by 450%. This is the
most important time of day to start with a protein-based,
high fiber meal as it will set the tone for your
blood sugar and energy levels for the day.
