Hey There
I agree on NOT thinking about losing weight as dieting. think of it as changing your habits:
stock the cupboards with healthy snacks: dried fruits, nutes, homemade granola, etc etc...
if you don't BUY junk food, you won't eat it at home
watch for eating out of boredom. this is something i noticed with myself, especially when i am watching tv. getting up and going to the kitchen...just to browse of course. i catch myself now, and stop myself from taking anything.
drink more water
watch for the sugar content of foods. it is CRAZY how many products out there has EXTRA sugar in it: tomato sauce, PEAS, ketchup...there are many low sugar options (and i am not talking about the fake sugar stuff, just products using natural sweeteners like concentrated fruit juices and the like)...start looking for those...
start thinking about eating EFFECTIVELY. we are so focused on low this, and calories, that we've forgotten about NUTRIENTS. the food pyramid is a nice guideline to follow to make sure you are getting all your needed vitamins. remember, your body know but ONE THING, protect the inside. if you are missing nutrients, your body will pack on the fat to protect your organs.
anyway , just a few of my cents...
have a great day!
