3 Things To Keep You In the Diet Winner Circle

I saw the movie “Déja Vu” this weekend. What a thriller! I’m not going to spoil the movie for you , however, the movie had a theme about going back in time. Imagine if you could go back one week back. What would you do differently about your eating habits that would have put you in looking and feeling better about yourself today?

Here are 3 tips to help you stay on track with your diet goals.

• Plan your meals and “consume” your plan! Shop from a list. Cook foods in advance. Stick to your meal plan. Allow only a ten percent margin for “off plan eating”. That means, if you eat 5 meals a day, times 7 days a week, that’s 35 meals. That gives us 3.5 percent margin. That’s 3.5 percent of “off plan” meals/snacks allowed. Those “off plan” meals should be reasonable. I am not taking eating a whole pepperoni pizza at a single sitting.

• Watch those portions. Assuming that weight loss is the goal. You should be on a moderate to low carbohydrate food plan. Have a lean protein, fibrous carbohydrate and a starchy carbohydrate at each meal. Here’s a simple way to figure out how much of a portion size to eat at. First, gauge your portion size with your protein requirements. Men should eat a least one 6-8 ounce serving of complete, lean (order lean beef, take out the skin off the turkey or chicken and stay away from any type of meat too marbled in fat) protein at every meal. Your fibrous and starchy carbs should be about the same size at your lean portion requirement at every meal. Simple!

• Don’t eat like the “fast and furious”. Don’t eat on the run, while driving, or while watching television. Eat at a table or a designated, relaxed setting. Take your time to chew and help your body digest your food. Chew your foods several times before swallowing and simply enjoy the moment. Experience (taste, texture, tongue) what you eat is important and when you are eating, “be there”.

As you can see, keeping your diet in check does not have to be daunting. Enjoy your day and Bon appetité.
