Weight Gain, the Sum of Too Many Calories
This is the First Day of the rest of your Diet Life...
Nobody likes to track calories. It takes all of the fun out of dining - but...(don't you just love that word) - there is nothing that impacts the numbers on our weight scales MORE than the amount of calories that we consume.
Individuals can count fat grams, carbs - even the bites that we take but counting calories is what we feel to be one of the solutions to losing weight and staying trim. Here are a few tips for dieters wanting to CONTROL their weight by counting calories:
- Determine the amount of daily calories you need and keep your daily calorie intake as close to that number as possible.
- Become a label reader.
- Measure in the beginning - until you can produce a close guesstimate without those cups and spoons.
Dieting in Scarecrow Village - Scarecrows have been tagged by the general public as brainless, but we've got the inside scoop. There is a valid reason - a HEALTHY reason why the Scarecrow so closely guards his garden treasures. Here are Thin Thin's top five suspicions:
Almost anything raw equates to low calorie, low fat, particularly in the area of fresh vegetables and fruits.
The Scarecrow not only has veggies and fruits in his garden, but zingy herbs as well to add bling to the finished recipe.
The Scarecrow's fresh renderings from Mother Nature cost little to grow.
The Scarecrow's garden is filled with natural vitamins and minerals that keeps a body healthy.
Finally, we tried very hard to lend a critical eye to The Scarecrow's garden, and we couldn't find even one fresh grown item that we didn't like. Low calorie, healthy, inexpensive, tasty - what more could a dieter ask for? No wonder The Scarecrow works hard to keep everyone away....
Weight Loss - How to be a Stuffed Dieter & Still Lose Weight - Another thing that makes The Scarecrow such an interesting study is that he's stuffed. Always stuffed. Stuffed with healthy things from this Healthy Garden. If we mirror The Scarecrow, we too can feel stuffed and happy even while losing weight. Try this.... As an experiment one morning, eat a breakfast tart, a couple of cookies, a cupcake or a small pastry. The following morning, eat a serving of oatmeal. Which meal stayed with you the longest and kept you feeling full throughout the morning? The Scarecrow would have chosen the oatmeal - and would have been rewarded by feeling stuffed until the noon lunch hour.
Foods With Satiety Power - Some more foods that will stick with you longer and keep you feeling like a Stuffed Scarecrow that continues to drop pounds include:
Boiled Potatoes, Baked Beans, Lentils, Apples, Grapes, Bananas, Popcorn, Whole Wheat Pasta, Eggs, Cheese, Oatmeal, Cream of Wheat, Porridge, Bran Cereals, Honey Smacks tend to be extremely filling. Yes, they are coated with sugar, but still hold some nutritional powers. In addition, calories are minimal for a high satiety impact!

Dieting Tips for Weight Loss Results - Some savvy healthy diet tips for quick weight loss results.
It is difficult to get caught up in peer pressure, and particularly so when it comes to weighty matters. Rather than focus on a friend's weight or your favorite celebrity's weight, keep the focus centered on your healthy diet.
Reach for fresh fruits rather than processed treats when your Sweet Tooth flares up.
Take time out for you whether it's going to the movies, reading a book, taking a nice hike or even shopping.
Keep in mind that the number on your weight scales should never determine your level of happiness!
Smart Dining Tips - Are you frequently faced with dining out amid the chips and salsa, and baskets of piping hot bread? Most sit-down restaurants have the tastiest treats to munch on while waiting for the entree to arrive. Although tasty, those pre-meal treats often contain more calories than the entree.
Chips weigh in heavily with about 150 calories per 15 chips. If there is ranch dressing on the table for dipping purposes, add another 140 calories minimum per Tablespoon. Bread isn't much better, especially when The Butter Factor enters the picture. And just thinking about garlic cheese bread may stimulate a five-pound weight gain!
The solutions to help you avoid weight gain while dining out?
Send back the bread basket, the chip baskets and the container of unshelled peanuts OR, see how much salsa you can fit on one chip and limit your chips to 15. Count them out before you dive in. As a note, you can enjoy all the salsa you want as it's extra low in calories and contains zero fat.
Rather than eating chips, enjoy 4 warm CORN tortillas (about 200 calories) OR 2 flour tortillas (about 200 calories) spread with salsa OR a smidgen of butter.
Ask your waiter for a tray of raw veggies and a low calorie dressing OR a bowl of soup OR a side salad with light dressing rather than eating the higher calorie, high fat offerings.
