MORE WEIGHT LOSS TIPS

 If you follow my blogs, you know I do not recommend dieting, except when the doctor puts you on a certain diet for a particular ailment. Just eat healthy and watch your portions, that's it! If you don't have the willpower to do that, shame on you. It's your health at stake.

I believe in following these three basic rules:

1. Eat a wide variety of plant-based foods.
2. Limit portions to reasonable amounts. A serving of meat should not be over 4-ounces and a serving of vegetables is usually 1/2 cup. Don't upsize your fast-food meal!
3. Balance what you eat with physical activity. Simple walking is a great exercise.

Use your common sense! In today's society we tend to go to the excess on most things. We know most restaurant meals are actually enough for two meals. Order a to-go box and take out half the meal before you even start eating. You will have enough for a meal tomorrow. Let's face it, those huge bagels and oversized muffins should be 2 servings. Eat either the top or bottom of the bagel and save the other for another meal. Cut those huge muffins in half and share with a friend or save half for another meal.
