Weight Reduction - Healthy Eating Habits for Better Living

The best healthy eating habit that you can have for weight reduction is this. Give up those extra foods/drinks during the week. Include them in your diet only on the weekends, in moderation of course:o)

Eat treats and sweets such as desserts ONLY on the weekends! Drink beer, wine, soda’s with sugar, coffee with cream, etc., only on the weekends! If you are really serious about weight loss, it’s truly a good suggestion!

These 'extras' include anything that is high in fat or calories such as: desserts, alcoholic beverages, breads, extra helpings, fatty meats, greasy chips, chocolate ice cream, brownies, etc. The list is non ending. It just depends on what your weaknesses might be! Just remember the golden rule for weight loss. That is 'nothing in excess is good for you'!

For example, my son knows that he can have a bowl of ice cream on Friday and Saturday night ONLY. I look at it this way: It gives him something to look forward to during the week, and HE 'GETS' THAT!

He didn't like it when I first adopted this policy in our home, but he understands now that having dessert is a real treat and I think he enjoys it more now.

My passion is beer or a good red wine, so that being said, I have a few drinks on the weekends only. I can’t afford or wouldn't want to drink alcohol all week anyway. Thats way to fattening for my blood!

Your passion might be different though and thats fine. Just change the 'splurge'. It's good to have goals and to strive toward them. Once you've gotten through a week of eating healthy foods, remember to reward yourself. Splurge and have something extra on the weekends in moderation. Nothing in excess is good for you, period! To keep weight off of you, moderate your splurges.

I know I sure appreciate a beer on Friday night even more now. When I pop the top of my first beer on Friday night, I really feel like I deserve it! These are signs of a good week’s work! (And yes, I drink LITE beer!)

Weight reduction will not happen if you do not include healthy foods! Any healthy eating habit must START with moderating the amounts of non essential fatty foods and drinks you consume in your daily diet! Remember too, one else can make you change or should. To lose weight successfully, you have to do it for yourself!

*This tip won’t do if you have to work a lot on the weekends. So just change it up!

If you have a few days off during the week instead of the weekends, then just eat desserts or have a few drinks on those specific nights that you are off from work the next day. If you work every day of the week, then choose a few days/nights of the week to go ahead and have a extra treat.

Another good suggestion for weight reduction is to keep a food journal and to know how many calories you must consume to lose weight. Use this handy RDA calculator to see how many calories you should consume. That way you'll have a base line number to work with. You can't lose weight if you don't give up some of the calories you're consuming in a day.

Any good healthy eating habit for weight reduction must start
with you! The only person you can really control is you! So just do it! Just moderate! As my son often reminds me:
