Diet Food Can Still Be the Food You Love!
A lot of people are on a diet struggle when it comes down to giving up their favorite foods; this is mostly
due to the unnecessary elimination of a lot of favorites which would otherwise be permitted in moderation. Just
because you are on a diet or taking diet pills, it does not mean that you have to completely eliminate all of your favorite snacks from
the menu. Moderation and calorie counting are the keys to success in weight loss. You have to have self control and
motivation in order to uphold the laws of moderation and calorie counting. Once you have mastered these two factors
you can eat pretty much anything (excluding most fat food choices and foods high in trans fats).
The first step in mastering moderation and calorie counting is making a list of your favorite foods. Once you have
made this list you have to decide which foods will be ok in moderation and which you should completely give up? When
weight loss is the goal, foods that are high in trans fats and majority of fast food choices should be eliminated
completely. However, keeping your favorite candy bar on the "ok to eat in moderation" list is completely acceptable.
This is where calorie counting comes into play. Take your favorite candy bar and cut it into weight loss friendly 100
calorie portions. Wrap each piece individually and allow yourself to have one 100 calorie treat each day. This way you
don't completely have to give up your favorite chocolate snack and your diet is not in jeopardy.
So if you are on a diet, remember that moderation can help you attain weight loss. Getting rid of all of your favorite
foods abruptly can lead to weight loss failure and resentment towards dieting. So be smart and control your portions and
calorie intake.
