4.Always have tortillas, lean meat, and veggies on hand. If you dine out frequently, therefore, you may be taking in more calories than you realize. Limiting how often you eat out, if possible, can help with weight loss. It can also help to periodically weigh and measure portions of food at home to train your eye to recognize appropriate portion sizes. Knowing how much you want to eat ahead of time, and having a mental image of the portion size, can help you control calories at restaurants. The information in Estimating Portions" may also help you assess portion sizes. Once you've figured out how much of your restaurant portion you want to eat, put the extra food aside to take home and enjoy later.
Finally - the old proven diet. Dieting was super popular in the Soviet Union and it is equally popular in modern Russia. Among the most popular - Atkins diet (protein diet), soup diet (you are supposed to cook a large bowl of soup and eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner), mono diets (you eat only cucumbers or boiled eggs or kefir or apples in unlimited quantity but only one product daily). Some other diets are more balanced - but most of them consist of really boring food - buckwheat without salt or butter, boiled chicken fillets, one apple, one boiled egg and some vegetables a day. Some diets claim that magic happens if you eat half of grapefruit with every meal (another magical fruit) or drink tea with milk or drink water with lemon, pepper and honey.
If you find yourself making this common New Year's resolution, know this: many so-called miracle" weight loss supplements and foods (including teas and coffees) don't live up to their claims. Worse, they can cause serious harm, say FDA regulators. The agency has found hundreds of products that are marketed as dietary supplements but actually contain hidden active ingredients (components that make a medicine effective against a specific illness) contained in prescription drugs, unsafe ingredients that were in drugs that have been removed from the market, or compounds that have not been adequately studied in humans.
Beans can help boost feelings of fullness and manage blood sugar levels, making them an excellent ally in your weight loss battle. In fact, a recent study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eating one serving a day of beans, peas, chickpeas or lentils could contribute to modest weight loss. Kidney beans, in particular, are an excellent source of fiber while also being low in carbs, making them an ideal pantry staple for those looking to shed a few pounds.
