EAT A FRUIT DESSERT
Many of us on a diet crave a little dessert at some point. The problem usually starts with the type of desserts we ate before we started out diets. Ice cream with chocolate and whipped cream is probably not going to pass muster with most diet plans. But what about fruit slices or berries?
GET YOUR FRUIT FRESH FOR JUICES
Fruit juices can be extremely appealing as a replacement for soda; after all, it is fruit. The question you have to ask is just how healthy your fruit juice really is? The labels on juices at your grocery store may tell a story that you won’t like. Most bottled juices have very little fruit in them, sometimes less than 1% of the volume. Sadly, the contents of most bottled juices are made up of water, sugar (both natural and artificial) and flavor additives. The law allows this product to be called juice but it is my no means the actual juice squeezed from fruit. Your best option is to skip bottles juices and go to fresh squeezed or frozen. Read the labels carefully and make sure that fruit is the number one ingredient. It will cost more than bottle juices but you will be drinking healthy, sugar free juices.
GO EASY ON THE MEAL REPLACEMENTS
Every meal and diet plan will have meal replacements that you can buy. While these are very convenient they are also more expensive than other prepared meals that you may buy at your supermarket. Most of these meals will fit in nutritionally with your diet but you need to budget for them. One are of concern with meal replacements is the use of shakes or nutrition bars instead of a regular meal. Again, you need to be a wise shopper. Some of these items have no more nutritional value than a bag of M & Ms and shouldn’t be used in place of a meal. Some supplemental shakes are fine but others are full of sweeteners and artificial ingredients that will set back your weight loss attempts.IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY IS
Have you seen advertisements for low carb doughnuts or muffins? People on low carb diets often complain of missing foods like breads and will try items that are promoted as replacements for their favorite foods that are now forbidden. There are hundreds of these packaged low-carb labeled goods online and at your local supermarket. While they may have some appeal they shouldn’t become a part of your diet plan, at least in the first few months. Most low-carb pastries sound appealing but far too often they still contain some of the usual carbohydrate suspects: sugar or a sugar alternative and flour. While they might be more acceptable than a typical muffin they shouldn’t be considered part of your diet plan.AT THE GROCERY STORE-- SHOP THE OUTER AISLES
Sticking with your low carb diet plan will be easier if you remember one basic thread in all grocery store designs: the healthy foods are on the outer aisles. There is a reason for this, grocery stores and supermarkets are laboratories for taking advantage of human behavior. Think about your last visit to a supermarket. Upon entering you were presented beautiful displays of fruits and vegetables, all of them fresh and screaming the word “healthy”. The aisles probably lead you to bulk foods and a meat section, again focusing on foods that your mind processes as being healthy. Towards the back of the store you are taken to the dairy products, a cool, refreshing area that features milk and eggs, items that you probably have on your diet plan. frozen foods. For the many part all of the foods that you require for your low carbohydrate diet can be found on the boundary of the supermarket. This is done by design. While the markup on fruits and veggies is minimal and the items themselves create extra work for the store, the fruits and vegetables themselves are presented in a way that make it hard not to pick up a few things. You then feel good about buying healthy foods and may pay less attention to what you are buying when you shop the middle aisles. It will be these items, all processed foods, that shouldn’t be a part of your diet. For the retailer, however, these items are their profit tools. Hopefully by making you feel better about the two pieces of fruit that you purchased when you arrived you will feel less guilty about buying the four boxes of processed cereal that just went into your shopping cart.INVEST IN GOOD COOKBOOKS
The number one stumbling block for people starting out on a new diet is figuring out what to eat. Many diet plans will give you menu ideas but they won’t give you the recipe needed to make the dishes. This is why you need to invest in a couple of good cookbooks that are designed around the diet plan that you are following. Don’t overlook some of the cookbooks that you already own. That flour covered Betty Crocker cookbook has a lot of low carb recipes, they just won’t be titled as such.
