Fasting in the Evening

Many diet experts recommend fasting in the evening, for example not eating after 6PM. Unfortunately, I love to eat all the time. Tonight I tried some watermelon for my evening snack - filling but low calorie - much smarter than chips and sour cream!

Low Calorie Smoothie

Pinapple chunks, strawberries, and crushed ice in a blended makes a delicious smoothie with close to hardly any calories.

Low Fat Seasonings

Do you remember the commercial, "Everything's better with butter". Well, it sure tastes better, but it's not better for you. There must be some other ways to make your food savory. Here are some low-calorie flavor enhancers. Try adding one of these to your mashed potatos or vegetables: mustard, salsa, hot sauce, chipotle or chili powder, lemon, dill, garlic, jalepeno, onion, cinnamon (on canned pumpkin), soy sauce, and chicken broth.

Fruits and Veggies

Eating five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables is good for your overall health and nutrition. However, it is also a great way to lose weight. Try adding three additional servings of fruits and vegetables to your diet. They can fill you up without a lot of caloried.

My Blog

"Lose 10 lbs in 2 Weeks" is one of my more popular hubs on HubPages. I figured I'd keep it updates with a blog.
