Recently, Maria and I spent the day up at the Sunshine
Coast visiting the Pineapple Plantation and
Caloundra.
This week I thought that I would make a comment
about eating out.
There is one thing that I would like to share
with you from my experience of spending a day
out up at the Sunshine Coast.
When it comes to LOSING WEIGHT, visiting
tourist attractions are going to make it
difficult.
Most TOURIST OUTLETS generally have products
that are HIGH IN CALORIES such as desserts,
lollies, cakes and parfaits etc or HIGH IN FATS
such as fish and chips, and pies.
Spending a day out can sabotage your weight loss
efforts if you don’t PLAN YOUR DAY.
I know from experience, avoid these items of
food because once you start, the more likely it is
that you will crave for more.
HIGH CALORIE ITEMS such as ICE CREAMS and
desserts are filled with empty calories.
Calories of this nature will give you energy for
a short while but will quickly bring you back
to a spot of feeling hungry once again.
Your body begins to crave for more food to
satisfy your nutritional needs.
Fried foods such as fish and chips can be high
in fats due to the methods of being prepared.
CHIPS are fried in SATURATED FATS, salt is
added for taste and once again you end up with
high calories and the proportion of fat in
your diet is too high.
As a suggestion, try to AVOID the above TAKE
AWAY foods.
If you are serious about weight loss, PREPARE
AHEAD and take an eski with your own selection
of foods for the day.
Have a bbq at the beach and take a piece of
chicken or lean meat, or buy some fish and grill
it or cook it in foil.
Salad is easy to prepare and take it with you as
well. Fruit is generally easy to take with you
or easy to purchase when you are out and about.
AVOID SOFT DRINKS. The calorie content is too
high and they do not substitute water.
Purchase a large bottle of water and drink
from it regularly during the day.
As a note, a can of coke is 160 calories with
about 10 teaspoons of sugar.
If you do have a coffee, make sure that you
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER so that you avoid
dehydration.
Well, I hope that this assists
you with your weight loss efforts.
Looking forward to next time.
If you have time, write and let us know how
things are going.
Oh by the way,
while I was out yesterday, my wife and I spent
a few quiet moments having a choc coated almond
protein bar and a cup of hot herbal beverage.
Herbalife protein bars are fantastic products
for satisfying your hunger needs and the herbal
beverage is refreshing and uplifting.
They are a great combination.
Also, not sure about you, but I know that I get
pretty tired at the end of a day’s outing
especially when it comes to driving home.
For this reason, I took a sachet of LiftOff
with me. It works like a treat. And it is a
great substitute to falling asleep at the
wheel of a vehicle.
