How Can I Stay Thin?

Getting there is easier than staying there. I hope that makes cents. Everyone has a method of losing weight that worked for them in the past but the weight always comes back and you end up with more fat than before.

Think about changing everything you’re doing and try something new. Try throwing away all the foods in the kitchen that you like and start over. Try eating fresh and eat clean and just drink water or coffee plain, or tea plain. Get radical, read about healthy eating, and see what it’s going to take.

Think about this for a second: No condiments, no salt or sugar, no sauces or gravy on your food. No Lattes, or any drinks with fat, sugar, or calories.  A no-fat diet means no dairy, no red meat which means no hamburgers, no starchy foods, no cheese or milk.

Now, what you can eat
This is called the Mediterranean diet or the foods of the Mediterranean people. If you noticed, you can eat cheese and yogurt but only non-fat dairy. It says you can eat sweets and meat but only seldom. Sweets should be milk chocolate or dark chocolate and meat should be lean and only once a month. Personally, I haven’t eaten meat for two years. I only eat seafood and poultry.

The bottom part of the food pyramid should be eaten every day. Physical activity should be every day. Fish, poultry, and eggs can be eaten every week but these all contain some fat and even though the fats are good fats, you still should be careful how much fat you consume. Your body needs good fats but you want most of the good fats and protein to come from plant sources.

Yes, this meal plan allows you a glass of wine with dinner a few times a week. Read up on the Mediterranean diet, you can google it. I’m a big fan and so is your doctor. Talk to him and see if he agrees. There are dozens of acceptable foods on the plan.  and don’t worry about counting calories. I like this plan because you can create hundreds of meals from all the choices you have and you don’t have to count calories. When you eat fresh and eat clean you don’t have to worry about calories. Look for my podcast by searching “How Bad Do You Want To Lose Weight” on the podcast app that you use.
