  • How do you ruin a diet?
  • How do you spoil your chance to lose that extra weight?
  • How do you make sure you are going to be fat forever?
  • Easy... just leave the house without healthy food to eat!


The impossible challenge

What are you going to eat? McDonald's? Burger King? The local restaurant? Pizza? Candy? The cafeteria??!!!

It's remarkably difficult to find healthy food with proper portions.

You can't get it at the drive through. You can't get it in any chain restaurant.

You might be able to get what you need in a deli if you pick right. But you'll probably end up with too much fat, too much sugar and huge portions.


A little planning means you can finally get your pants buttoned

You really need to plan ahead. Cook a day's worth of food for the next day. Pack it in airtight containers. Get a cooler and some ice packs.

Make some extra chicken and divide the extra into portions. Or turkey breast. Or boil some eggs.

Know where you are going to be and when you are going to eat. It should be written on your calendar.

If it is not worth it to you to write it down on your calendar it is not worth it to you to lose weight. It takes about two minutes to write down:

  • Breakfast: home, 7:00 A.M.
  • Snack: office, 10:00 A.M.
  • Lunch: office, 1:00 P.M.
  • Snack: office, 4:30 P.M.
  • Dinner: home, 7:00 P.M.
  • And then make sure you stay on schedule!



 

"Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees or the stars; you have a right to be here."

From Desiderata   

 





Save time -- cook in advance -- and use the time you save to shop for slimmer clothes!!!

It takes a little time to pack a lunch, but it takes less time to make lunch and your snacks than it would take to search for a vending machine.

It is even better to make larger quantities of food and freeze them. You can make soup in a crock pot and freeze containers of it. It will last almost forever.

Chicken, turkey and lean pork can be eaten cold or heated up quickly in the microwave.

And for an all-over-great portable snack nothing beats cottage cheese. If you have a taste for cottage cheese it is wonderful.

The low-fat cottage cheese (1 %) is almost pure protein, very little fat and no carbohydrate. You can eat it by itself, with some fruit, or with some bread or crackers. You just pop a container in your cooler with an ice pack and off you go.
