Top Ten Diet Tips From the 100 Calorie Diet
By Susie Trimble
The 100 Calorie Diet gives you the top 10 diet tips in the world! Let’s take a look:
Diet Tip #1
Diet one meal at a time, one day at a time. Anyone can be on a diet for a day! After you’ve had breakfast, you can look forward to lunch and after lunch you can look forward to dinner. Enjoy each meal as it comes but don’t get sidetracked. Do not think about yesterday, do not think about tomorrow. Think in terms of today only. This is a very powerful tip – use it!
Diet Tip #2
When planning your day, stay close to what you would normally have, just choose the items within your calorie range for that meal. If cereal is what you like for breakfast, by all means have cereal. But if you like to have doughnuts, you can have 2 glazed doughnuts for about 400 calories. If you like to have a salad for lunch, have a salad. But if you like to go to Burger King?, have a Whopper Jr.? and a cola. If your usual dinner is baked chicken and vegetables, enjoy. But if you like pizza, have 2 slices of pizza with a beer. With The 100 Calorie Diet, you will lose weight while still eating the foods you love!
Diet Tip #3
Don’t think in terms of “diet” foods. Remember no foods are forbidden. If you start out The 100 Calorie Diet trying to deprive yourself of the foods you love, you are setting yourself up for failure. Plan your meals with the foods you enjoy, just make sure to have the measured portion of it.
Diet Tip #4
Eat more to lose weight. If you are one of those persons who like to eat large quantities of food, then study The 100 Calorie Food Counter to see what foods you like that give you the largest quantity for 100 calories. Refer to the FREE foods and FREE recipe sections to make a list of the FREE foods you enjoy.
