First guide to weight loss

Initial guide to weight Loss


When trying to lose weight, the most important part of your plan is both your commitment, and consistency. Weather it be portion control, eliminating snacks, or changing the kind of foods you eat, without complete commitment and consistency, your plan will fail. We have prepared a list of both ready to eat foods, and ingredients to make your favorite foods. If you are able to stick to this list, you will have success. The levels of success will vary, depending on what your goals are, and how much you’re willing to give up.

We have compiled this list from various sources, and have combined our own experiences to complete it. Some of our research brought us to best selling author Dr. Howard M.Shapiro. His research and books are highly recommended.

The List;

All Fruits and Vegetables – Avoid any packages with added sugar, otherwise all fresh or frozen veggies and fruit

Sauces, Condiments, and Marinades

Salad dressings – light or oil free

Mayonnaise – light or fat free

Yogurt or Sour cream – plain, fat free, or made with artificial sweeteners

Mustards – this includes most mustards, but no sugar or honey

Tomato puree, paste, and most sauces (watch for sauces without sugar)

Cooking sprays – Some of them have butter or olive oil flavor, which is OK

Soup – One of the most nutritious, load up your soup with veggies, and make a meal out of it

Vinegars – includes just about any type

Horseradish

Sauces – light soy, worchestire, Barbeque, ketchup, salsa, cocktail, and others

Onion – fresh, powdered, or any way you choose

Garlic – fresh, powdered, but not garlic salt

Herbs – all herbs are helpful in any form

Spices – All and any

Extracts – vanilla, almond, maple, cocoa powder, and others

This should help you get started. But your mind has to be made up for this to work. Anyway you look at it; the most important part of the equation is you.
