Weight Loss Solutions : Men’s Health
The perfect weight-loss article would include only four words: Eat less. Exercise more.
Of course, if it were really that simple, I’d be out of work and the R.D. after my name would stand for Really Desperate (for a job).
Unfortunately for you (and, I guess, fortunately for me), it’s a lot more complicated than that. Some guys need to eat more to lose weight. And some who are already exercising need to do less, but at a higher intensity.
My goal here is to show you 10 ways that you can manipulate your diet — adding in some places, subtracting in others — to start losing weight the next time you open your mouth with the intention of putting something in.
I’m a mother, but I’m not your mother. So I can’t order you to eat breakfast. But if you don’t, you’re putting your number-one fat-burning tool in time-out. It takes calories to digest calories, so eating in the morning fires up your metabolism.
Perfect breakfasts: Try a cup of whole-grain cereal with 1 percent low-fat milk and a banana, or two pieces of whole-wheat toast with two tablespoons of peanut butter and an apple. If you hate breakfast food, or have to eat on the fly, take a turkey sandwich (going easy on the mayo) or a slice of leftover cheese pizza and go.
Here’s where I disagree with your mother. She discouraged you from eating between meals-probably so you’d eat more of her delicious boiled-liver casserole-but I want you to have a snack handy at all times.
Here’s why: If breakfast stokes up your metabolic fires, then snacks keep them going between meals. And planning your snacks in advance keeps you from making a mid-morning Chips Ahoy run.
Perfect snacks: Include one of the following two or three times a day: an ounce of nuts, pretzels, or string cheese; a medium piece of fruit; six graham cracker squares; or six cups of low-fat microwave popcorn.
