Health Alert!!!!! The Real Key to Weight-loss!!!!!

The real key to weight-loss is food control!!!!!

Food control is counting calories, sticking to a meal plan, limiting portion sizes etc. Most weight-loss programs are based on food control. Jenny Craig gives you a prepared meal plan with a set amount of calories. Weight-watchers teaches you portion control, by giving you point values for food.

Usually people approach their diet from one of two ways. They either use some form of food control or they focus on eating healthy. Focusing on eating healthy can be a major trap that will not lead to weight-loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The reason for this is because lots of foods are labled healthy, but the only foods that are truly healthy are raw fruits and vegetables with no added sugar, salt or fat. Almost all packaged foods have added salt, sugar or fat.

Here is a list of foods that are often labled healthy but will cause you to pack on the pounds....
popcorn
pretzels
yogurt
low fat packaged foods
granola
cereal
cereal bars
energy bars
dried fruit
fruit juice
cheese
etc......

The real reason that many people are fat is because they eat too much. If you are an over eater or an emotional eater, do not fall into the trap of eating healthy. Focus on food control and you will lose weight. Take it from a 260lb 5 ft 3 in vegeterian, eating so called healthy foods is not enough, and sometimes can do more harm than good. The best route is to eat fresh fruits and vegetables in a system that uses food control. If you cannot afford a program that teaches food control here are a few tips.

#1 Try eating only three meals a day
#2 Eat from smaller plates and cups
#3 Say no to seconds
#4 Use the 1/2 rule
#5 Have a kids size meal
