diet strategies as well as dispelling popular diet myths.
Diet Strategy
The Salt & Pepper Treatment
We all have been out to restaurants where the portions are too
large. A simple way to show your willpower without letting others
at the table see you are dieting is the salt and pepper treatment.
Simply portion out the excess servings and pour on extra salt and
pepper. This way you know right away that you are eating the excess
portions and it is not as good as the smaller, more reasonable
portion. Others at the table will be impressed with your restraint
and self control.
Diet Myth
Natural fiber laxatives are a good way to lose weight.
We have all seen the ads for fiber laxatives. They advertise a
healthy lifestyle and what is known as a “fiber-diet” if taken
everyday. The myth is that the product is going to help you lose
weight. It is going to keep you regular, but green vegetables and
other “free foods” can work just as well. If you don’t eat enough
fiber, these products can help you feel better, but it is your
dietary choices, not the laxative, that is going to help you lose
the weight. Save your money, eat more free foods.
