Weight Loss Motivation, What Is The Biggest Problem That Kills Weight Loss Motivation? (Part 2) :

AVOID FRIED FOODS
Fried foods are everywhere. Hamburgers, fish and chips, chicken, spring rolls etc. the list just goes on! But have you noticed the local sandwich shop offering chicken salad, whole wheat wraps, salads with wholemeal bread… there are more possibilities out there than you think. Anything steamed, grilled or baked rather than fried will make a BIG difference to your fat intake.
AVOID EXTRAS SUCH AS SAUCES AND TOPPINGS
That chicken schnitzel with cheese and parmigana sauce may make your day but it won’t make your weight loss solutions become a reality. Other weight loss killers include butter, sour cream, full cream yoghurts, mayo, tartare sauce and relish. The general pattern is to avoid extras based on sugars and dairy products. The worst thing is we often underestimate the effects of these items on our weight loss solutions. We think “they are so small, how can they affect the overall result?” Let me tell you that in the past I have been guilty of eating a whole carton of sour cream with a plate of wedges and it adds up big time! Avoid these extras altogether and if you can’t then be very mindful of the amount you are using.


AVOID LARGE SERVINGS AND UPSIZING
It is very tempting when the larger size is only 50 cents more but the number of calories you are adding can be much more expensive to your diet than 50 measly cents! The best piece of advice someone ever gave me is “you have to learn to say NO”. The food servers are trained to ask you to upsize. They are simply doing their job. They won’t be the least bit offended if you say no. You won’t look rude or like a fool especially if you add a “thank you” to that “no”. Don’t be afraid to say it. No-one is making you say “yes”.
AVOID SUGAR AND DAIRY BASED ALCOHOLS
After we have had a few too many drinks, worries about calories go straight out the window. Irish Cream and milk may taste great but all that milk and the sweet Irish Cream itself is loaded with all the wrong things if you have too many. If you must drink choose a low carb beer or a dry wine (preferably red). Diet soft drinks are not ideal but preferable to their sugar loaded full soft drink counterparts. Nothing beats a nice cold glass of filtered water. It tastes great and you can enjoy it to your hearts content!
