I try to watch my weight, but it just seems to get more and more difficult as the years go by. With all those tempting delights out there, it a wonder anybody can maintain their “ideal weight”. We shall attempt to provide some healthy living tips that could alleviate the problem with weight gain.
Again, what’s really tough for my family and friends are those delicious restaurants. Between the tasty Italian food, and the succulent French cuisine it’s a challenge. To bad they haven’t made all that stuff “fat free”, but that’s just the way it is.
Now mind you, I really haven’t stopped eating all those tasty dishes, but I have done something else. I noticed a little trick that some health conscious individuals do. They actually leave food on their plates! I can hear what you’re saying, but listen when I tell you that portion control is a big thing.
I actually first seen this done in Canada, where there is a big French influence who are well known for smaller portions. I really think that is the key to ultimate weight control. It really isn’t living on twigs and roots that make a healthy lifestyle, but eating great food in moderation.
I know that sounds easier said then done, especially when the food is the best gourmet. But the more I read those healthy living tips books, the more I begin to realize that they are right. It really isn’t as important as what you are eating, but the amounts that you are eating.
So a comparison would have to be made in exactly what you are eating. If I am having a really fatty dish, like those one half pound hamburgers I enjoy, then I would cut it in half. I still might be up there in fat intake, but it is a start for someone as overweight as myself.
So hopefully these healthy living tips will help make a difference for me. If I could eat what I enjoy in moderation, I just might see some beneficial results. Now this is just my opinion, am I am not recommending this for you. As always you should check with a doctor and get a complete medical checkup before making changes in your current lifestyles.
