20 WAYS TO LOSE WEIGHT

1. Take it one step at a time

Start by paying attention to what you eat. Cut back on fat and sweets and
add more fruit and vegetables. After you have that under control, add
exercise. If you hate to exercise try it for only 15 minutes a day at first,
then a 1/2-hour. Keep in mind that while you are exercising you are burning
calories and not eating. Also, it will be easier if you chose an activity
that you enjoy.

2. Find a friend

It is always good to have support when you are trying to lose weight. Find a
friend who wants to lose weight and compare notes, weigh-in together and
maybe even have a contest.

3. Use weights

Working out weights will build muscle and raise your metabolism so you will
burn more calories. Also, muscle takes up less space than fat so you will be
smaller ( but probably weigh more).

4. Eat fewer carbs

Don't eat as much bread and pasta and you will see a difference.

5. Set a goal

Set a deadline to lose the weight and write it down. For example, ' By Dec
14/04 I will weigh 150 lbs or less'. Put it somewhere you will see it daily.

6. Give up soda

If you drink a soda or 2 a day you are adding empty calories. If you find it
hard to stop completely, cut back at first and drink water instead.

7. Grill or boil

Avoid fried meat, grill and use lots of spices. You will get used to it and
probably enjoy it more.

8. Don't buy junk food

When you go shopping, don't go on an empty stomach and you will be less
likely to buy junk food. Keep your home 'junk food free' so you won't be
tempted to indulge.

9. Eat breakfast

Consume most of your calories early in the day and always eat breakfast.
Don't eat after 8pm and not only will you avoid those added calories but you
will sleep better.

10. Give yourself a treat

When you tell yourself that you can't have something you want it more. Give
yourself a treat once a day ( ie. half a cookie) and you won't feel you are
missing out.

11. Use smaller plates

Trick yourself into believing that you are eating more by using a smaller
plate.

12. Drink lots of water

Drink water when you are feeling hungry and you will get that 'full'
feeling.

13. Don't eat everything on your plate

Many times we eat just because it's there. Pay attention to when you have
had enough.

14. Eat five or six meals a day

Eating more frequently will keep you from getting too hungry.

15. Plan your workout sessions

Write your workout sessions in your journal or planner.

16. Stay away from fad diets

Fad diets don't work. If you lose weight fast chances are that you will gain
it back ( and more) just as fast. It takes time to put it on and time to
take it off.

17. Do several workouts a day

While you are watching TV do crunches and leg lifts.

18. Measure your food

If you decide to have junk food for a snack - be sure to measure and control
what you eat.

19. Keep pre-cut vegetables

....and ward off those cravings.

20. Create Good Habits

It is a known fact that when we do something twenty-one times it becomes a
habit. Create good eating habits.

As spams go, this was a pretty good one.

I disagree with a few of the items.

#7 There is nothing wrong with frying. Just use olive or coconut oil
instead of the polyunsaturated oils.

#9 Eating all ones calories early contradicts the principle of having
numerous tiny meals.

#10 Encouraging cheating is very bad. Find a permissible food, that you
like, for a snack. For me, that would be an exotic cheese. 2 ounces of
cheese seems like a lot, but usually has only about 200 calories.

#16 It seems all diets come and go as a fad. The fact that a diet is a fad
does not make it bad, or mean that it doesn't work. Example: Dr. Herman
Taller's 1961 diet.
