1. Stop the sodas! If you are stuck on the sugary goodness wean off with diet soda and eventually cut it out together. I'm sure you've heard it over an over but soda's diet or not are useless for your body, and leave you feeling even more hungry because of the sugars! Besides the 8oz or more of water you should drink, try drinking skim or 1% milk, 50 Cal Tropicana, or teas. These drinks have vitamins and minerals that are good for your body and help subside your hunger. Bonus: Have a tea after a large meal, it will help along your digestion and just start your metabolism.
2. Replace those whites with wheat's! Another group of empty calories or those white breads, replace them with wheat! Not only loafs of bread but anything made with bleached flour, pizza dough, pasta and rice. I know there's nothing like good o'le pizza or pasta but try them with wheat, or they now make 'smart taste' which has less carbs and more vitamins and you can't really taste the difference!
3. Lean out your meats! Do you love your beef and steaks? You can still eat them, but find leaner options! You might spend a little more, but chose leaner steaks such as filet mignon, and look for those extra lean beefs and pork tenderloins.
4. Watch your additives! Are you eating salads everyday for dinner and not seeing the weight melt off? Well it could be your dressing! Dressing has a whole lot more calories than people realize, not to mention the fat content!
5. Limit those Drinks! Many alcoholic drinks pack on the calories, carbs and surgars and do nothing good for your body, they leave you dehydrated and thins your blood slowing your metabolism. Try to chose lower caloried drinks such as light beer or the new skinny girl drinks which have under 150calories!
Bonus: When grocery shopping before you put anything in your shopping cart be sure to check the nutrition facts, you'd be surprised on some of the things you belived to be healthy are in fact loaded with high carbs and sugars.
