Loose Pounds

You could enjoy a 20-pound (or more) weight loss within one year. When it comes to losing weight, patience is a virtue. Tallmadge says small losses should be considered major gains for people struggling to achieve permanent weight loss. “Weight loss is 99 percent planning,” Tallmadge notes. “One little change can make a big difference.”

1. Eat your office “supplies!” 

2. Eat by the clock! That trick alone could add up to 20 pounds lost a year. Planning your meals ahead of time allows you to have nutritious homemade food instead of burgers and fries.

3. Shop by the book! Shop every single week. It’s a lifestyle change that could help you subtract 30 pounds a year. So many people start eating badly when they run out of food. Keep fruit in plastic containers.

4. Don’t cook on weekday! Prepare quick-and-easy meals ahead of time in bulk so you always have something in the refrigerator or freezer thats ready to go on a moments notice. Prepare batch meals on the weekends when you arent as rushed or tired as you are during the week.Tallmadge’s book offers 26 healthy batch recipes from famous chefs across the country. It’ll save time and your waistline.

5. Save time with frozen produce! Add veggies and fruit to every meal. If you add a salad to your evening meal — and cut back on portion sizes generally — you can lose 30 pounds in a year. Fresh grocery store produce is often picked early to compensate for the long storage times. Portion control is one of the biggest challenges when youre trying to lose weight. …And make room for delicious frozen meals. When buying frozen foods, check the number of calories on the nutrition label. If a frozen dinner doesnt include vegetables, buy some frozen vegetables or fresh produce to go with a main dish. Stocking up on delicious, wholesome frozen dinners can save you 300 to 500 calories per dinner. Eat healthful frozen meals four nights a week and youll drop a minimum of 18 pounds over the next 12 months.

Just cutting out late-night snacking can save you at least 150 calories a night.

Switch from whole milk to 2% and youll save 20 calories per serving. Substituting low-fat yogurt for whole yogurt saves you at least 50 calories per cup. Substitute three daily servings of low-fat dairy food for the full-fat kind and youll cut out about 150 calories daily.

If having special food in the house helps you eat more of the foods you know are good for you, the cost is justified. When you’re eating more healthful foods, youll naturally buy fewer junk foods.
