Weight Loss

Health and Wellness -Weight Loss

Here are some basic diet tips which together with exercise will help you reduce your weight

1- Incorporate a lot of fiber (at least 25 g a day) - Great sources include whole fruits, vegetables, Fiber One cereal, oatmeal, whole grain bread.

2 - Drink LOTS of water – I drink to quench thirst; I don’t force myself to drink a certain amount. But I do try to get as much as I can, of course living in the tropics means I need to keep well hydrated.

3 - Eat lean sources of protein - I favor eggs, extra lean ground turkey, skinless chicken breasts, low-sodium deli turkey, but avoid fish as I do not like it.

4 - Avoid high-fructose corn syrup - This stuff has made it’s way into almost everything over the last couple decades. Everything from ketchup to bagels to frozen pizza contains HFCS.

5 - Avoid hydrogenated and partially-hydrogenated oils - These are trans-fats. They do nothing but increase the shelf-life of foods. *TIP: Many packaged foods that claim to be “Trans-Fat Free” often still contain some hydrogenated oils!

6 -Be a label reader - I take my time to read the labels on every packaged item I buy at the store. *TIP: The first 3 ingredients on the label make up the bulk of the product.
