Go Fitness Provides Tips to Accommodate Your New Year’s Resolution for Losing Weight

It is now 2012, and you’ve taken an oath once more to lose weight. But the question is, how are you going to it?  Start with what you’re eating—cut out the fats and substitute healthier, more nutritious foods instead. Here’s a guide for each eating healthier at every meal.

Breakfast 

Conventional wisdom teaches us that breakfast should be the biggest meal of the day, but it’s easy to go overboard in the morning. 

Never trust your eyes, especially if you wake up hungry. The best way to know how much you’re   taking in is to measure it, to make sure that you’re eating the recommended serving size. 

Opt for low-fat milk in your coffee, cereal or tea. It doesn’t taste all that different, but you’ll cut down your calorie intake. 

Opt for egg whites in your omelet, or switch to turkey sausage if you can’t live without meat at breakfast. These substitutions cut fat and cholesterol, without sacrificing flavor.

Lunch

The lunch hour is fraught with obstacles for even the most dedicated dieter. The stress of work, a tight schedule, and even peer pressure from co-workers often make it tough to stick with a healthy routine at lunch.

 Bring lunch instead of eating out during the work week. You’ll maintain better control over your  portions and won’t be tempted to overeat or choose something unhealthy.

Replace your regular sandwich with low-sodium vegetable soup, which will give you lots of energy but not too many calories.

Skip the sodas. Even the diet varieties contain lots of empty calories. Try switching to lemonade, or mix some fruit juice with sparkling water for a bubbly beverage.

Dinner

Experts are baffled at why people eat the most at the end of the day. After all, why let all your efforts go to waste at the end of the day? 

 Avoid tasting and nibbling as you prepare meals. Those calories add up fast, even if it doesn’t    seem like you’re eating much.

 Pay even closer attention to portion sizes. Some experts recommend using a smaller plate, so that it looks like you’ve given yourself a full plate—with fewer calories.

 Limit your alcohol intake to two nights a week at the most. These beverages have extra calories. Meanwhile when your body processes alcohol, it can make you hungry, making you more likely to snack some more.

Perhaps the most important tip to remember is always to be conscious of what you’re eating. Over time, your body will come to prefer nutritious foods, and you’ll find that it gets easier to make healthy decisions wherever you go.
