How much weight have YOU lost so far? We’re at day 16 of our 25 days to weight loss.
Only nine more days to go on the actual program, but we hope you can see that you can easily take this program through the rest of your life. You may be worried about diet and nutrition at this point so today we’ll show you an easy way to ensure you’re getting all the nutrients you need.
When we said at the beginning of the program that you can eat whatever you want as long as you skip snacks and second helpings, you probably said, Cool, I’ll eat candy bars every meal. You may have even done it a few times. But, your body knows more about diet and nutrition more than you do. We’re willing to bet that after a few meals, you decided that broccoli isn’t so bad after all.
So how do you get the vitamins and other nutrients you need without slavishly analyzing every bite?
Here’s how to watch your diet and nutrition needs painlessly: At each meal, divide an imaginary line down the middle of your plate (It doesn’t matter if the line is from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock or 9 to 3. Heck, it can even be from 10 to 4.) At any rate, fill one of those halves with vegetables or fruit. (Avoid starchy vegetables like corn or potatoes. Don’t panic, you can still eat them. Just don’t put them in the vegetable spot.)
In the other half, draw an imaginary line to cut that empty section in half. In one half, put meat, fish, chicken, turkey, eggs and/or cheese. In the other half, put bread, pasta, rice (or those starchy vegetables you were so worried about). On one plate you can get all the food groups diet and nutrition experts advise us to have.
There, your diet and nutrition worries are over — for one meal anyway. You’re probably wondering about mixed foods like soups, stews and casseroles. For those meals, try to limit yourself to a 1 cup serving, about the size of a baseball. Now, don’t bring a softball to every meal or family gathering. If you can visualize one (or a standard measuring cup) and limit yourself to roughly that amount of soup, you’ll be fine.
What about when you’re eating out? Diet and nutrition experts have been alerting us to the huge portions most restaurants serve. There are a couple of sneaky tricks you can use. One is to immediately ask for half of your portion to be wrapped up in a doggie bag. (You get a tasty lunch at work tomorrow.) You may also consider ordering a half order or a child’s portion. (But promise not to play with the toy while at the table, please.) If you are at a buffet, try using a salad plate instead of the dinner plate ñ and use the same plate-dividing technique that you use at home.
If you are eating out and you slip, don’t obsess about it. Your diet and nutrition needs will balance out over the next few days. Simply be extra vigilant about following our plan’s rules.
See? Meeting your diet and nutrition goals on this plan is very simple. You can lose weight in a healthy way and still have a real life. Enjoy.
