Ian and I will be implementing a healthier diet and exercising more. We are following a bit of the Sonoma Diet which encourages portion control and healthy eating. The first 10 days will include no alcohol which should drastically decrease our calorie intake.
My sister Sheena explained to me that losing weight is a simple math equation. Calculate number of calories for your ideal body weight. Track what you eat and the exercise to determine total calories of each day. Ian would never track the calories per day, so our portion control menus should work in a similar way. Hopefully we will see the results.
Tips to Lose Weight and encourage a healthy lifestyle:
1. Drink 8 glasses of water each day: cut out calorie rich drinks, such as soda and fancy coffees.
2. Downsize your dinner plates: Studies find that the less food put in front of you, the less food you'll eat
3. Snack on vegetables during the day rather than chips or pretzels
4. Join the "walk far" program. When running errands, park your car farther away from the entrance. Park on the 5th floor of the parking garage and walk down the stairs, rather than using the elevator.
I love finding myself quoted in your posts.
