Which foods are good and what should be avoided in weight loss? This is a popular question especially for women who like to prepare their own foods.  What to use, what not to use, what kind of foods to prepare, how much to eat and when.  I have some very good suggestions following, be prepared to take notes;

First some rules: use less fat and sugar and when preparing food always use vegetable oil.  Minimize all products which contain fat cheese.  For bread, eat only rye bread.  Make all your portions smaller.  Avoid juices and soft drinks; drink only water and fatless milk.  Eat in intervals of three to four hours between meals and eat small portions. Eat lots of vegetables, fruits and berries.  Don’t eat pasta or rise and allow yourself only one feast-meal per week.  Exercise up to five times in a week, an hour or an hour and a half at the time.

This means that it’s very important to avoid all industrial vegetable fats and carbonates.  Instead use butter and other good oils like olive oil.  If you eat cheese, I recommend non -fat cottage cheese.  Potato which is starch should be left out of your diet altogether.

Also leave out all white breads, donuts and cakes. Switch macaronis and pasta to rye and oat pasta, because they contain more fiber. I recommend counting calories in the beginning, because some weight loss programs have too low calorie-content recommendations, and this is dangerous in the long run. Count your normal calorie consumption and try to eat 500 calories less per day.

Here’s a great tip for any weight loser; drink 2 liters water per day and you will be amazed how the feeling of hunger will go away by only drinking water.  You will find that after one week your weight is going down and you don’t have a feeling of hunger.  It is always healthy to drink lots of water, so there’s nothing risky in this method, water will also purify your whole system.

Recognize all calorie bombs even before you eat them!  Losing weight is not about eating less, it is about eating wisely and be knowledgeable about what you put in your mouth. To be able to lose weight intelligently you need to eat enough, otherwise you might lose it from wrong places.

Following the above recommendations will make you lose weight – guaranteed. 

But you need to be strict and persistent with your diet.  If you try to lose weight too fast, it can be dangerous to your health, you don’t want to lose your muscle material when you diet.  I recommend using a good program that is proven to be healthy and consult only people who have experience in this field.  Remember that your diet should consist of enough vegetables, fibers, water and proteins.  When following a proven program, your weight will go down because your adipose tissues are going to be reduced. There are some effective programs on the market that promise fast results but losing muscle and all water from your body is not permanent weight loss, it is yo-yo weight loss, because you will gain it back in few weeks. Go the healthy way and you will be able to lose weight and maintain the results.

How often can I cheat on my diet and still maintain weight loss?
Well, it’s not actually a diet. I have totally changed my eating habits and have been working out regularly. I have been keeping track of my weight loss on a computer program and have been losing an average of 3.4 oz per day. How often can I cheat on my eating and still maintain weight loss? Right now its been once or twice per month. I don’t want to risk weight gain but I want to enjoy good food with my kids every once in a while. Last night I ate pizza and this morning my weight is 4 lbs higher according to the scale, I can’t do that! 4lbs is a major setback. I had a friend that said I can eat bad once per week. What do you think? I’m not sure how often really fit people eat what they want. Or why I gain so easily (one night of junk and I gain 3 or 4 lbs that took me weeks to lose.)

i eat what i want, while watching it most of the time,,, if i feel ive ate high calories or extra, i just exercise a little extra, even during tv commercials, jump up and exercise, jog in place, dance etc,,,,,, i would think your weight would be higher in the morn,,,, gaining 3 or 4 lbs doesnt sound right, overnight,,,,,,,maybe you had water retention also? not to be blunt, but even things like going to the bathroom can change your weight,,,,,,i have heard its best to weigh yourself once a week,, or else use a tape measure once a week, to check inches lost,,,,,,,,,as your daily weight and even weight at certain times of the day , will flunctuate (sp),,,,,i would also go with the once a week concept,,,, if you dont do it more often then that,,,, it shouldnt affect you overall,,

just keep up the exercise and you won’t have to worry about food so much. dont eat 4-6 hours before you go to bed. eat like a King in the morning, a Prince for lunch and a Pauper for dinner. also divide up your meals to 4-6 smaller meals a day. Never skip a meal. Drink lots of water. Did I mention exercise? without it the weight will just come back because food is great!! I say enjoy your food and just exercise a little more.

Actually, cheating once in a while (and not giant binges, but uppering calorie intake) HELPS you lose weight. You don’t want your body to become accustom to the calories you are eating. If once every month or so you "go off your diet" and eat still healthy, but a bit higher calorie (allow yourself to indulge) you’ll notice when you go back on your diet two days later, the weight will come off easier.
