Do You Have Trouble Sticking to a Weight Loss Goal?
By Marilyn Zink
It’s been about 10 days since I started my weight loss plan by removing sugar and white flour products from my diet.
I confess I haven’t been 100% faithful, but I have stuck to it pretty much every day. I did use a bun for my salmon burger and used whole wheat tortillas to make burritos and quesadillas.
Despite that, I lost about 3 pounds. I was hoping to lose more but that would require 100% commitment. Still, I want it to be a healthy weight loss.
If you’ve ever tried to lose weight, after some time towards your weight loss goals, you might slip up a few times. You might question if you should keep going.
Yes, most definitely. With the weight loss plan I have been following, I have never been hungry. Ok - I was hungry a few times because I left it too long between lunch and dinner.
That is not a good thing. Because when you get to that stage where you experience that gnawing feeling in your stomach, you’re ready to eat almost anything and will likely eat too much. So, make sure you have a healthy snack.
My healthy snacks have consisted of peanut butter on rice cakes, a handful of nuts or those little cans of tuna where you can get an Italian version with beans and corn or a Thai version with rice. These are healthy and filling, as the protein fills you up.
That’s one thing that’s really important. Make sure you eat enough protein. I had a 3 egg omelette one morning for breakfast, nothing else, and I was full.
So even if you backslide on a diet, just keep on following the plan. I’m sticking to my no bread, no sugar plan. I want to lose another 3-5 pounds by next week.
