(Lose Weight For The New Year) into your daily life;
- 1. Drink more water.
- 2. Try eating a high-fiber cereal with fruit and skim milk in the morning.
- 3. Eat the whole fruit instead of drinking store bought fruit juice.
- 4. Start, your meal with a broth-based soup or mixed green salad.
- 5. Incorporate some sort of exercise into your schedule daily.
Or at least three of the five : D, and if you have, you may be wondering why isn't the scale moving in the right direction.
Well, if you're like me you enjoy the morning Java. There's nothing more invigorating than a steaming cup of coffee to get the day started. It's not the coffee bean itself that may be keeping your scale at a stand still, but what you add to it. Your, Chip Frappuccino, Vanilla Bean Coolatta or Mocha Frappe can add 400 - 600 extra calories a cup to your daily diet. Those aromatic, steaming cups of delight are topped or blended with whipped cream and whole milk, adding delicious flavor to tongue and .... fatty deposits to your love handles and arteries ... whoa.
Not to put you in a tizzy but coffee isn't the only drink you should monitor. Just drinking one can of soda a day can add an extra fifteen pounds a year to the scale, considering the average soda is approximately 150 calories. Not only can sodas do damage to the waistline but according to the Nurse’s Study of more than 50,000 women, those who had one or more sodas every day raised their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 83%.
When you stop and think about it, those types of drinks are like liquid cheeseburgers when you compare the calories. I'm not saying stop drinking your flavored coffees and sodas cold turkey, but when you're just about to get that third or fourth cup or can remember - "Liquid Cheeseburgers" shooting straight to the thighs and arteries.
Try incorporating flavored waters instead of sodas into your daily diet and limit your coffee delights to only 3 per week until you can completely cut them out.
Remember I don't like the word "dieting" because it sounds to restricting. What we want to do is eat a healthy diet of nourishing foods. Foods that will help us live a healthier and longer life, because when it all comes down to it, it's the quality of life that really matters.
So say with me "This is not a diet, but my prescription for healthy living" : D
