Step 1
stop the candies, donuts, ice creams. Sometimes, just the difference because of these few items adds up over time. A hundred of calories savings of not eating unhealthy candies, sweets etc can over time add up so several pounds that are lost or not gained.
Step 2
Be Smart in your food choices. Theres a saying that you can eat all the fruits and vegtables you want, you won't gain weight. Well, the idea is that you select foods that are filling but aren't high caloric foods. For examples, instead of the 1000 calories from An applebees bbq rib sandwich , replace it with a progressive homestyle soups which are just 200 calories but fill your stomach and you feel good after eating them. You can eat as much as you want and you won't gain weight. For example, those vegtable packets are only 100 calories and you chew and eat as much as you want out of them but they dont do not even half the high calories sandwiches, nuts, meats etc. So basically eat stuff that you can enjoy eating, but will not be exhaustive calorically speaking.
step 3
You need to be able to take some pain. You need to understand that you will have deal with being hunger sometimes that sometimes you will not like what your eating. these are compromises you have to be willing to make if you want to lose weight. Expect the pain, learn to embrace it thats the only way you'll get by.
Step 4
Water or another product that acts as a filler. A surprising thing happened the other day when for lunch I started drinking selter water. I noticed not only did I like the taste which tasted much like diet coke, but it actually acted like a filler making me less hunger throughout the day. So it helped to curb my hunger. I guess the aim is to find your own individual way of filling your stomach up so you dont get hunger too often. For some its water, for others it might be something else.
The idea is not to be superman and eat nothing all day. But more like, try and create a differential of few hundred calories a day from your metabolic rate. Keep moving on, but stride that fine line between when too few calories will tire your body and too much calories will make you gain weight. Each day, you work to strike that balance just ever so slightly towards the 'lose' side and hopefully overtime all the time you've not eaten will add up to weight loss...
This is a work in progress for me, I am learning the next steps and ever-evolving my diet to make things work. These are things I 've learned for the previous failures of diets that didn't work and I m sure by the time this diet is over I ll have more to put there e.g. step 5
