To start off, know what sort of food that makes you weak in knees. Most men likes anything fried or off grill or spit so start off by taking in less of those foods. Women tend to go after anything savory or even exotic so rules apply to them as well. Junk foods like burgers, fries, and pizza are often labeled as weight loss program destroyers. They are addictive and loaded with sodium, fats, and cholesterol. Just because they are labeled as 'bad guys' it does not mean that we have to deprave ourselves from indulging with such foods. Every time you take a nibble out of a French fry, just go for a little positive thinking and tell yourself, "a little bit is all I need to get going".

Weight loss is all about discipline of self will, whether it is all about food intake or hours of exercise you can dish out. Life is good enough to give us bounties of food so weight loss should not put a damper in our taste buds. We should make an effort to place word 'enjoyment' in weight loss because we know what we like to eat, only not too much.

The way to do it is simple. You still want to eat healthy and you want to eat 5 to 6 times a day. You should always eat a good breakfast. This morning I had some plain old oatmeal with low fat milk. On top of it I sprinkled cinnamon. It is simple and filling. A couple of hours later I followed it up with a banana and a protein drink. I highly suggest to those wanting to eat more and lose more, that you puchase protein shake mix. It is quick, filling, and is a good replacement for a meal. After all, fixing 3 or 4 extra meals a day is a pain in butt.

What you do not want to do is eat 1 or 2 large meals a day. Do not gorge yourself. Your body will interpret this as hording food. You wouldn't horde food during good times. Adding excersize to your weight loss program will enhance your weight loss efforts.

Good luck.
