10 Ways To Cut Calories
1. Use fruit
purees instead of butter
2. Eat cheese
but get rid of the fat
3. Don’t
exercise before meals
4. Eating in
front of the TV is bad for you
5. Always have a
breakfast
6. Fructose is
better than glucose
7. Bad fats are
not good for you
8. Use skim milk
rather than whole
9. Don’t have
more than four egg yolks a week
10. Before
cooking, trim all the fat from meat
Substitute Fruit
Purees Instead of Butter
If when eating
mashed potatoes, adding fruit puree instead
of butter, will cut down the calories and
give your mashed potatoes a different but
pleasant flavor.
Eat Cheese But
Discard The Fat
Cheese is good
for you; it’s full of calcium. But it is
also full of fat.
Get rid of the
fat by putting the cheese into the microwave
for about 10 seconds, then drain off the fat
and grease. (Be careful not to leave it in
the microwave too long, unless you want
Welsh Rarebit). Or alternatively, you could
buy a cheese that has less fat in it.
Don’t Exercise
Before Meals
If you exercise
before meals you are just making yourself
hungrier as you are burning the fat. So to
satiate your hunger, you will eat more. A
better idea is to exercise after eating.
Then your body has to work harder to digest
the food. WARNING: Don’t exercise
immediately after a meal, or you will make
yourself sick. Exercise an hour after
eating.
Eating While
Watching The TV Is Bad For You
You can so
easily overeat. The program you are watching
may be so exciting and you are engrossed in
it, you won’t be aware of what you are
eating.
Always
Eat A Breakfast
Breakfast is the
first meal of the day. The word Breakfast =
Break Fast. You probably have had nothing to
eat since supper the night before. So you
are Breaking The Fast.
Your body will
burn more calories if you eat breakfast.
Fructose is
Better Than Glucose
Drinking Water
With Fructose (Fruit Juices) rather than
Glucose, will act as an appetite
suppressant. Drinking a glass of orange
juice an hour before eating will take the
edge off your appetite.
Bad Fats
Are Not Good For You
Bad fats are
Trans Fatty Acids. Many margarines are Trans
Fat. Butter is not.
When cooking use
cooking oil instead.
Read the labels
on the food you buy. If you see the words
Hydrogenated Oils run a mile as this means
it contains Trans Fatty Acids. As a bonus,
running that mile will use up some calories.
Use Skim Milk
Rather Than Whole
Drinking Whole
Milk means you are drinking the cream and
this of course is extra calories. Switching
to Skim Milk will still give you all the
goodness of milk, without the fat.
Don’t Have More
Than Four Egg Yolks A Week
Do you remember
the Advert on TV ‘Go To Work On An Egg’
personally I think you’d be more comfortable
on the bus, but there is no accounting for
taste.
Seriously, the
white of an egg (the Albumen) is full of the
wrong kinds of fat. So better to have the
yellow part of the egg (the Yolk) and then
only a maximum of four times a week.
Before Cooking
Trim All The Fat From The Meat
If you love your
meat, by trimming all the fat off it before
cooking will cut down your calories intake
dramatically. Or alternatively, eat skinless
chicken or fish.
