If you want to stay thinner, or lose some WEIGHT, you have to Plan Your Meals
It’s said that failing to plan, means that you’re planning to fail. When it comes to meals designed to promote your health and eliminate unwanted calories, you’re going to have to heed this advice.
The problem is, if you fail to plan your meals you are basically eating according to either your emotions or whatever whim may come over you around mealtime.
Both of these can mean added calories, poor nutritional choices and a growing waistline.
I do advise some general principles to follow when planning your meals, but the takeaway message to this nutritional no-no is you need to think independently of your shifting moods about what you will be consuming for up to the next week in advance — in order to keep your plate free of unnecessary calories.
This means shopping in advance with specific meals in mind and it means putting your intended meals down on paper and sticking to your meal schedule.
You’ve probably discovered that both of these things are much harder in practice than they are in theory. There’s a reason for that.
Processed food manufacturers are spending a lot of money, billions and billions of dollars each year, to convince you that their food will satisfy you emotionally. Processed foods are not the answer. Processed foods are part of your growing waistline problem.
Remember this truth as you take on the billion dollar advertising industry while you take control of your health! Plan your meals, and you’ll stay thinner. Oh and one more thing. Make sure you eat at least ONE SALAD per day. It’s good for you and you’ll be able to keep your weight in check if you’re overweight and trying to lose weight.
