Think Yourself Thin
It’s often said that it’s mind over matter.
This goes for dieting.
If you can believe in yourself, believe that you really can lose weight, and apply yourself to it, then you will.
Think positive about the whole thing. Don’t be defeatist. Don’t tell yourself that you’re an overweight slob that’s never going to lose weight. Instead look in the mirror, and tell yourself how much better you will look (to yourself and others) when you do shed those pounds. Tell yourself how much better you will feel.
You don’t have to eat everything on your plate. If you find yourself wasting food, and can’t afford it, or feel guilty about such a practice, then order smaller portions when you eat out, and cook less at home, or split portions in two where practical for another meal another day, and freeze it.
You don’t have to eat every time you do anything. It’s perfectly fine to go to a movie without a 32 ounce soda, and a large popcorn. If you’ve eaten before you went into the theatre, and you’re going to eat again when you leave or get home, you’ll survive quite well without those extra calories! Also think how much money you save each time you don’t eat stuff that you really don’t need. You’ll find after a while, you break the habit of heading for the concession stand in any case.
Wonderful Olive Oil
The virtues of the Mediteranean diet have been long talked about. One of the keystones of such a diet is the use of olive oil.
Good quality extra virgin olive oil is usually blended from a variety of olives and is a great base for healthy salad dressings, and is great for dipping with bread.
Unlike vegetable oil, which tastes the same wherever you get it from, the taste of olive oil is different based on the region it comes from.
There are various flavors from peppery to mild, and even citrus based. There’s one out there to compliment almost any dish, and olive oil is good for you!
Try some today, it’s way better for you on your salad than that ranch or blue cheese dressing in a bottle!
Celery Is Negative Calories?
This is true. The average stick of celery is six calories.
However it takes the average person eighty calories to eat it, and digest it.
Mind you, you blow away that good negativity if you dip it in something like blue cheese dressing, which contains almost eighty calories in each tablespoonful.
If you’re trying to shed a few pounds, or cut the calories generally, get used to eating that celery stick all by itself.
