How can I lose weight without having to sacrifice tasty foods?

Several years ago, researchers at the National Institutes of Health wanted to understand why it was so difficult to get people with high cholesterol or heart disease to lower their cholesterol through dietary change. What they discovered was that people could not endure a diet when the emphasis was placed on foods that they had to avoid. So the researchers switched gears and focused on teaching people to prepare and eat foods that were delicious but still in line with a diet that would lower cholesterol.

They found that when people were able to eat foods that they completely enjoyed, they had no difficulty remaining faithful to the diet. By focusing on what they could enjoy, rather than on what they had to avoid, they achieved dieting success. We at the Hunger Free Forever program have used this principle for many years in helping our patients to lose weight and reverse diabetes and cardiac risk factors.

We have seen in hundreds of cases that if people can discover a repertoire of meals and snacks that they completely enjoy, they can easily steer away from foods and snacks that will sabotage their weight-loss goals. Some of the simpler foods in this program are not favorites at first, but become favorites as your taste buds adapt to more simple flavors. For example, apples are a simple food that most of our weight-loss patients eat every day.

If you have a sweet tooth, apples may not taste that great at first, but if you persist in eating apples, it isn't too long before an apple becomes a delicious sweet treat. Likewise, raw vegetables may even turn your stomach at first if you eat them by themselves. You'll probably need to find a few healthy dips and dressings to make eating raw vegetables enjoyable.

However, as time goes on, you'll enjoy raw vegetables more and more. There are also hundreds of ways to thoroughly enjoy vegetables roasted, grilled, steamed, stir-fried, and cooked into soups and stews. If you want to improve your diet radically and make your weight loss efforts easy and enjoyable, invest the time and effort in discovering foods and recipes that you can enjoy and still stick with your weight loss goals.

With just a few good recipes and snacks, you are well on your way to changing your diet without feeling deprivation.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
