Secrets tips to dieting success

 
DRINK 6 - 10 GLASSES OF WATER EACH DAY
 
To start with,  First thing in the morning before you 
eat you should drink a glass of water, this will get 
the metabolism  jump started. This is probably the 
easiest glass you will drink all day and it will help 
you  remember to drink water all day long.
 
 
MUST EAT BREAKFAST 
 
Do not skip breakfast, for breakfast is the 
cornerstone to any success in a eating 
nutritiously. It is the foundation for a
successful diet. If you need to go to bed a 
little earlier so that you can get up 20 
minutes earlier each morning do it! Breakfast
is so important to your good health and to 
weight control.
 
 
AVOID WHITE TYPES OF FOODS
 
This is one easy way to remember what not 
to eat. If it is made from sugar, flour, potatoes, rice 
or corn-just say no. Remembering this rule of thumb
will make it easier torecognize those rice cakes as an  
unhealthy high-carb snack. Basically all white types of 
carbohydrates are refined and therefore 
when in your digestive system get converted 
tosugar/energy. Which if not used gets 
converted to bodyfat.
 
 
MUST EAT YOUR VEGGIES
 
It is so easy to use a low-carb diet as an 
excuse for poor nutrition. Resist this 
temptation. If the only vegetable you
have eaten in the last 5 years has been 
the potato, now is a perfect time to 
begin experimenting with other 
vegetables. This is important for your 
overall health and to avoid some
nasty side effects of not getting
enough fiber in your diet. 
 
If you do a thorough search of vegetables,
It's guaranteed that you will find 
vegetables that you enjoy eating.
Experiment with grilling veggies and 
cooking with real butter to add flavor. 
You can also search for new recipes on 
the Internet or in cookbooks. 
 
Remember, if you are only eating 40 
grams of carb a day or less, two cups of 
plain salad greens contain only about 
5 grams of carbohydrate. You have no 
excuse not to eat your veggies. 
 
 
 
EAT A FORM OF PROTEIN AT EACH
MEAL & AS A SNACK
 
Protein....The most important nutrient of all:
your body is made of cells that are 
formed from proteins and amino acids. 
You should choose a portion of lean 
protein such as chicken breast, ground 
turkey, egg whites, fish or lean steak. 
Protein should be eaten with 
every main meal or spread out
even with every five to six meals. 
Protein helps build lean muscle, 
repair tissue, hair, skin, and nails.
A good protein source is a 100% 
whey protein powder that supplies 
good amino acids and excellent 
source of calcium for the bones.
 
 
DRINK A GLASS OF WATER 
AFTER EACH SNACK
 
 
Developing this little habit is 
a real secret when it comes to
dieting success which few 
people follow but has a 
massive result 
on your diet. It will help you 
get in your 8 to 10 glasses of 
water each day but it can also 
have other benefits. Ever feel 
hungry after eating a handful 
or standard serving of nuts? 
Try drinking water afterwards. 
The water will help you feel 
full and prevent overindulgence.
Drinking water after a snack 
will also help remove the  
aftertaste from your mouth 
and can help curb your 
desire for more. Follow this 
little tip and develop it into a 
habit then before you know it 
you will be where you want 
to be and at the weight 
you want to be.
 
 
 
 
 

CHEW SLOWLY & ENJOY YOUR FOOD 
 
Guaranteed if you follow this little secret, You 
will feel full and more satisfied if you take the 
time to savor your food and chew it slower. 
Don’t get in the habit of eating while
standing or eating quickly. Sit down preferably at the table
and chew. 
 
Eating slower like this will help you enjoy your 
food more, pay attention to what it is you are 
actually eating and get a better sense of when 
you are actually full.
 
 
EAT YOUR LARGER MEALS EARLY
IN THE DAY AND SMALLER MEALS
LATER 
 
You will feel better and lose weight 
quicker if you eat a large breakfast and 
eat a smaller dinner. Also as you have 
been asleep for hours your body has 
been fasting and earlier in the day is the 
best time to refuel and provide your 
body with the energy that is needed. 
 
You may also want to eat the majority of 
your carbs earlier in the day, saving a 
salad and lean meat protein for dinner. 
 
Eating larger meals during the part of 
the day when you are most active will 
help you to feel satisfied throughout the 
day and curb cravings for unhealthy 
snacks.
 
 
CONSIDER EATING SALMON OR
TUNA FOR BREAKFAST
 
Yes this may seem odd, but it is one 
way to work in Omega-3 fatty acids 
that are good for you and add some 
variety to your daily diet. After a few 
months you may tire of eating
eggs and bacon for breakfast. 
Substituting fish will give you
the protein and healthy fish oils you 
need. You can try canned salmon or 
tuna in croquettes for a healthier 
sausage substitute. Or you could 
simply eat cold leftover salmon the 
next morning with dill sauce. 
 

USE LETTUCE LEAVES INSTEAD OF
BREAD
 
This tip can seem a bit odd at 
first but if you try it you will
probably grow to love it. Instead 
of eating breads and buns
with your sandwiches and 
hamburgers, why not try leaves 
of lettuce? 
You can make a double cheese
burger with onions, pickles and 
tomato wrapped in a whole 
lettuce leaf. Or you can make tasty 
wrap sandwiches with lettuce 
instead of tortilla and bread.This
will help increase your good 
carb and fiber intake while
giving you more variety in your 
diet. 
 
 
EAT FRUIT FOR DESSERT
 
Okay, we all want a little dessert 
sometime, but how do you have your 
dessert and your low-carb diet too? Why
not try cheese with fruit slices or berries? 
Better yet, why not try cream with berries? 
You could even try sweet pineapples or  
strawberries with cottage cheese? 
 
Berries are sweet and high in fiber and 
nutrients and dairy products are high in 
protein. If your low-carb plan will allow
it, this is a sweet and tasty alternative to 
more sugary desserts. 
 
An added benefit is that the protein in the dairy products and the fiber in the fresh fruit will make these desserts more filling.
 
 
 
AT THE GROCERY STORE–SHOP
THE OUTER AISLES
 
It will be easier to stick with your 
low-carb lifestyle if you learn the 
one common thread in all grocery 
store designs: the healthy foods are on 
the perimeter aisles.
 
Think about it, when you go into the
grocery all of the healthy stuff, fruits,
vegetables, meats, and dairy 
products are arranged around the 
stores walls. You only rarely need
to enter the center aisle areas in 
those few stores that stock butter 
and cheese in the center near the 
frozen foods. For the most part all 
of the foods that you need for your 
low carb diet can be found on the 
perimeter of the grocery store. 
 
Train yourself to start on one end of
the outer aisle and work 
your way around. It will be much 
easier to avoid carb cravings and 
fill your basket with healthy items if 
you do so.
 
 
 
TAKE A GOOD MULTIVITAMIN
 
We can’t all do it right all of the
time. Even the most 
conscientious food combiner 
may miss some healthy
vitamins, minerals and trace 
elements in their diets. To help 
make sure you get everything 
that you need, consider taking
a good multivitamin.
 
Check with your doctor first for 
recommendations and you
should be tested for anemia to 
see if you need a vitamin
with iron. However, the longer 
you eat low-carb and the
more red meat you eat, the 
less anemia will be a problem
and you should be able to take
vitamins with less iron. 
 
Your success is totally up to 
you. Assuming that you are an
otherwise healthy individual, 
your body will do its part. Just
remember to adhere to the low
-carb diet plan that is right
for you and add some variety 
to your meals to help you stay
faithful to your health and 
weight loss goals.
