Losing Weight While Still Loving Food

Published by kohuether at 10:17 pm under Thoughts Edit This

Cooking is one of my favorite hobbies so it’s only natural that I love to sample what I make. But this isn’t always a good habit, particular for the waist line. In fact, I have some extra weight I need to lose. So, I’ve come up with a plan:

  • Only sample in small amounts, and only when necessary.
  • Drink lots of water with lemon which is great for the liver.
  • Drink a few cups of green tea a day.
  • Take a multivitamin and extra vitamin C daily.
  • Exercise on a regular basis. I like walking, tae kwon do, dancing, and lifting weights.
  • Only eat when hungry (a seemingly obvious thing that is often hard to implement!)
  • Avoid mindless eating while cooking.
  • Cook only healthy foods - sweets are okay every once in a while.

You see, it is possible to still love food while dieting. View my progress at my online weight loss journal.
