21. Make One Social Outing This Week an Active One
Skip the movies and take a walk with your friends in the park, or go for a bike ride with your kids rather than play video games.
22. Eat 90 Percent of Your Meals at Home
You will eat more, eat less healthy, and eat more calories when you eat out than when you eat at home. Learn to cook simple healthy meals at home, and you will save calories, fat, money, and you’ll eat healthier all at the same time.
23. If You Must Eat Out
Sometimes it can’t be avoided, but when you must eat out, order the smallest portion possible. Get the 6 inch sandwich, buy a small popcorn, the lunch plate rather than the dinner plate, an appetizer instead of an entire meal, a half rack of ribs, the small salad, or the kid’s plate (if they let you!) Studies show that people tend to eat whatever is put in front of them, even though they would be full with much less.
24. Avoid White Food
There is some science to back up those low carb diets. Large amounts of white flour, white rice, white sugar, white bread add to our blood sugar levels and lead to weight gain. Eat plenty of whole grains and brown rice, but avoid the white stuff.
25. Learn to Like the Hot Stuff
Try adding salsa, Cajun seasonings, peppers, and hot sauce to your meals. They give you plenty of flavor, no fat, very few calories, but they turn up your metabolism for a while, so you will burn more calories simply by eating! Choose salsas over creamy or buttery sauces.
