What To Eat To Lose Weight
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Craig_McPherson]Craig McPherson
I`m fat. Well, I was till I found out what to eat to lose weight.The good news is we can both do something about it. Bear with me while I sink into a bit of history here. During the 80`s I was 20-30yo. I was very active in sports and my job was very manual. I was (and still are) 180cms (5ft 11in) and a well built 85kgs(185lbs). As a garbage collector during the day and my 3 day/week training regime for football I was very fit.
As I hit my 30`s I did notice my stomach getting bigger. Due to a combination of cutting my training down AND the implementation of automation in my job which did not require me to run behind a garbage truck anymore.
I left that job for a position in the hospitality industry as a manger of a pub. Now let me tell you, pub food & easy access to alcohol is not a good mix. The kilos piled on. I was oblivious to it of course. First I reached 90kgs, then 95. I stayed at 95kgs for the next 4 years and accepted this as my normal weight. After all, my Dad and a brother are both over 100kgs and genetics was my excuse for this.
I had toyed with the idea of putting in the effort to lose weight but the pain of doing it was greater than the gain. That was until I stepped on the scales a month ago out of curiosity and nearly fell over... 102kgs (225lbs). Do you have any idea what seeing 3 figures on a scale feels like. Maybe you do. It is gut wrenching (Pardon the pun).
My search was on. I scoured everywhere for a method to get my weight under 100kgs. I had to find out what to eat to lose weight Nothing,Until...I stumbled across a book. I downloaded it and read it and thought that it had merit. I did nothing about it till a week later when I read it again. This time the light came on. "I can do this" I thought. It is easy.
The strategies were a piece of cake ( I still eat cake too). The hardest part was NOT doing as it said. After 21 days of starting this I have lost 7.5kgs (17lb). I still have another 8kgs to lose. My goal weight is 87kgs.All the gurus tell me I should be 80 kgs for my height but that will not happen due to my frame and bone structure. I will be comfortable at 87kgs. I will re-access the situation then and decide if 2 or 3 more should come off.
Already my work colleagues have noticed not only the difference in my size but my demeanour has changed too. Energy is up ( my wife is happy),and I have noticed an improvement in my concentration & decision making.
Do you want to know the real bonus though? I still eat exactly what I ate before this. Here is a sample of what I have eaten the last 7 days.
Cereal
Toast with butter and peanut butter
Sandwiches
Chicken Parmigiani with vegies
Cream bun
Jam Tart
Coffee with sugar
Calamari
Porterhouse Steak
Lollies ( I love 'em)
Toasted Sandwiches
All the things I have adored for years are still eaten.
There is one point I should mention. The book states that no strenuous exercise should be taken. Because of my still competitive nature I have hit the pavement 3 times a week. Nothing dramatic mind you. I hardly get a sweat up though. Actually, I nearly got arrested on one jog for loitering, that`s how slow I go.
Seriously folks, this is a cinch. That simple little book has changed my life for the better. All it did was guide me as to what to eat to lose weight.
