LOSERS ARE WINNERS IN THE WORLD OF DIETING
Hint: Always order the dressing on the side when dining out. Do not pour the dressing over your salad unless you limit yourself to 2 teaspoons. They are often 90 calories a tablespoon. Dip your empty fork into the dressing BEFORE YOU PUT THE SALAD ON YOUR FORK. Other ideas would be to bring you own low calorie dressing, or to squeeze a few lemon wedges over your salad or mix 1 teaspoon of oil with about 2 tablespoons of vinegar.
At a salad bar, try putting a little cole slaw on your salad instead of dressing. Avoid any salads mixed with mayonnaise or heavy with oil. Examples: pasta salad or tuna salad.
Hint: If you want to limit the cholesterol from egg yolks, mix one egg with 2 egg whites instead of using 2 eggs, or use an egg substitute.
Hint: The best rule of thumb is: DO NOT feel that you should get your money's worth when you dine out. If you are served a large meal, leave some food on your plate or put it in a doggie bag.
Hint: If you give into temptation at lunch and eat a large corned-beef-on-rye, or an Oriental luncheon platter which includes egg roll, a portion of fried rice, plus the main course; a tossed salad with diet dressing and a piece of fruit should be considered dinner.
WORDS OF WISDOM: While you are dieting, make a list of the bad eating habits you had that put the weight on you...too many sweets...double or triple starching at one meal...too many fried foods or overeating in general. Once you have compiled this list, make positive plans of how you are going to break or control these habits.
