The holiday
season can be filled with events centered around food. Traditionally these
foods can be filled with carbs, calories and sugars. It is what makes us love
them and why the recipes have been passed down from generation to generation.
I write on
eating from time to time. To recap I am maintaining a weight of about 120lbs on
a five foot two frame. Now don't be a hater. I hit a snag years ago that
probably put me on this path. I started gaining weight.
Instead of
just ignoring it and letting out my waist lines I asked the internet what I
could eat without gaining weight.
The answer is fiber.
Up your
fiber intake and you can take control of your weight, is my theory. It has
worked for me. I prefer it much better than counting calories or food
restrictions.
It
forces me to think about what I am eating and read ingredients lists. It means I
can still have ice cream and chips.
Increasing
one's fiber intake means also increasing the amount of water on board each day.
Do Not forget this step please and for your own...comfort.
I did things
like started eating high fiber breads. They do not all taste the same. Just
because they say whole wheat does not mean they are high fiber.
Foods high
in fiber fill the stomach and give the full sensation. The last thing I wanted
to do was feel hungry and miserable while trying to lose weight.
Making these
every day changes to my eating plan for life paid off after a long while. It
took longer because I did not start moving more.
If all you
want to do is lose some weight you can go on a diet. If you want to change your
life and avoid the need to go on diets you need to do something else.
