Im on a Diet and trying to lose weight. I know eggs are considered good but what would i cook them instead of butter….

you dont need butter for poached eggs, boiled eggs. a spot of butter aint that bad anyway because , its a naturall product.

foods rich in protein help one feel less hungry
so chicken,, lean beef… lean any meat( not sausages hehe)
edame beans, nuts ,peanut butter, low fat probiotic yogurts , skim milk
etc ect xx

Losing weight is not about Dieting such that you starve yourself. By starving or eating less you cannot lose weight. Instead if your body does not get the right quantity and quality of food, it uses up the internally stored energy to make up for the less food supplied and thus you may put on weight instead of losing as your muscles are lost and not fats.

Another myth is that if you are losing 1 kcal per day then you might as well lose 500 calories in two days, the effect of both being the same. Well, this is absolutely wrong. By doing this you may have muscle loss and loose flaccid skin which again would be a major problem in your appearance. The key to a healthy lifestyle and good body is having the right diet.

Firstly you need to have proper 3 meals during the day, out of which the breakfast is the most vital meal for the body. It is said that breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen, and dine like a pauper! You may start off your day with cereals or oatmeal, boiled eggs, fresh and home-made fruit juice, cornflakes, etc.

Your meal must be high in proteins, fibre, and complex carbohydrates which will build up your body muscles. Usually non-vegetarian food is high in protein like eggs, fish, chicken, etc. Avoid red meat in your diet. You should also have one glassful of milk everyday to build up calcium in your body to strengthen your bones and teeth. Rice, potatoes, fruits, wheat, etc contain high carbohydrates. Regularly have green leafy vegetables in your meals.

Avoid junk food like chips, hot dogs, deep fried items, cakes, sweets, soft drinks, etc.
Also avoid eating processed or canned food stuffs as they contain lot of fats or sugars. Incorporate the habit of eating salads with each meal. Use oil-free dressing if needed for the salads. Also see to it that you eat fruits after a meal. You should have fruits instead of snacks in case you feel hungry between your meals.

Along with having the above balanced diet, you should also keep in mind that your body needs copious amounts of water to full out the toxins. You should make it a habit to have a glass of water after hour; this will keep your complexion clear and glowing.

There are a number of fat burning medicines available in the market in the form of amino-acid capsules or lipotropic. However, none of these medicines would do as good to your body as following simple exercises everyday. The aft that you have on your body is not going to melt off with the above stated tips; it is just not going to add up. To burn off the excess weight you need to regularly exercise.

It is not easy to follow this regime of proper diet especially when you have so many pizzas, pastas, burgers coming up; but it certainly is not difficult, all you have to do is tame your body!

When you have diabetes whether its diabetes type one or type two, you should be prepared to start making meal plans of what you will eat every day. Whilst main meals can become the focus of any diabetic diets, the truth is that meals throughout the day will need to be monitored. As well as eating three healthy meals, you may want to reduce the portions and start eating snacks throughout the day to help keep up a constant blood glucose level.

The start of any day should be with a healthy breakfast. It is essential to get going for the day, and it is important you do not skip breakfast. Before you were diagnosed with diabetes you may have had a certain routine of what you ate, and this may not need to be altered too much. Most breakfast cereals will be fine and healthy for you to eat as well as toast and breakfast muffins.

At breakfast time you will want to make sure that your appetite is satisfied, making porridge a great choice for your breakfast meal. You can also have a portion of fruit at this time to help contribute to your intake of fruit and veg and maintain a balanced diet. If you usually sweeten your food you should avoid this, but you can use fruit as a substitute for sugar. Fruit juice may not be the best option for the morning as it can help to affect your blood sugar levels quickly, so avoid it or limit the levels you drink.

We all know that substantial weight loss comes down to consistency. You need to stick to the actions that will lead to your weight loss goals. You need to keep your exercise routine and your diet food plan going until you achieve the weight loss that you are looking for. Even when you hit your target weight, you still need to stay weight conscious in order to keep the weight off.

All too often I see diets fail because of improper planning. Whether it is an impossible diet food plan, unsustainable exercise routine, or simple lack of motivation, poor planning will lead to a failed weight loss attempt. Even if the weight loss trial starts working, the diet may fail and result in gaining all the weight back that you worked to hard to lose in the first place.

Here are a few steps that you can take to ensure the success of your diet and weight loss attempt:

1. Create a solid diet food plan. If you simply tell yourself that you will just be counting calories, odds are that you will fail. Counting calories is more of a theoretical weight loss strategy, but is not a practical plan that you can easily follow each day without thinking. You need a more practical diet food plan, for example, create a huge list of different meals that you can prepare for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and snacks throughout the day. If you want to take this a step further, assign estimated calorie values to each meal. When you are trying to figure out what to eat, go to your list and pick something. This will make it a lot easier than trying to guess what to make each meal.
2. Create a list of exercises you enjoy. There are literally a million ways to get exercise. All you have to do to exercise is literally move. Thats it. Just get muscles moving for an extended period of time and you can call it a workout. If you hate running or going to the gym, forcing yourself to go will only be a temporary solution. Create a large list of specific activities that you enjoy. Here are some examples: biking, hiking, walking the dog around the block, tennis, swimming, dancing, jumping jacks, etc.
3. Make it easy to stick to your Diet food plan. Get rid of all the junk food from your house. When you go grocery shopping, make sure that you are full so you don’t grab a bunch of junk food. If you really can’t help grabbing junk food at the grocery store, grab a bag of chips or a candy bar right when you walk in and eat it while shopping. You will satisfy your craving for junk food right there and won’t be tempted to buy more for later. Just be sure to pay for the stuff you ate!
4. Make it easy to stick to your exercise routines. Join a gym that you really like. Involve friends and family in fun exercise activities so they force you to go with them. I have a stationary bike in my living room right in front of the TV. If I am watching something really exciting, I usually forget that I am even exercising! The time flies right by.

What do all these ideas have in common? They help make it easy for you to stick to your weight loss and diet plans. I believe that consistency is the key to successful weight loss, and making it easy for yourself to stick to it is the key to consistency.
