When it comes to dieting many of us find
that the number one hindrance to our success is the lack of time to prepare the
proper meals and snacks for our dietary needs. It is often much more convenient
to throw one thing in the crock pot for the family or resort to the fast food
last resort rather than preparing the healthy and nutritious meal that we
should be eating.
There are things you can do however that
will reduce the temptation to hit the drive thru and keep you on course with
your dieting needs. The first of these is a process known as once a week
cooking. With this method you cook enough meals to last you a week on one day.
This means that for every night of the week you have a diet friendly meal ready
to go. If your entire family is dieting or eating healthier with you, this
works for this situation as well. Dieting and incorporating healthier eating
habits into the food for your entire family is a great way to set an example
for your children will keeping you motivated and removing temptation.
With once a week cooking you freeze the
food that won’t be immediately consumed and thaw it the morning you will be
eating the food to cook when you arrive home after work or decide it is time
for your evening meal. This is a process that works well no matter how many
soccer games, dance practices, and band recitals you have on your calendar for
the week. You can manage to stick to your diet while having a great meal for
your family each and every night of the week.
You should also make sure to have a nice
supply and cleaned and cut fruits, vegetables, and salad ingredients in your
refrigerator in order to make these dishes readily assessable for quick lunches
or snacks. Having these foods readily available will help you resist the
temptation to snack on higher calorie prepackaged food while also helping to
insure that you have a ready supply of fresh fruits and vegetables to help you
get your 5 servings a day.
You should also keep some conveniently
packaged yogurt on hand as a good quick and easy dairy product. Sugar free
pudding cups are another decent snack for those who need something quick and
easy to have on hand. Preparation and planning are essential to successfully
meeting your weight loss goals. By preparing as much of the food as possible
ahead of time you will never even miss the convenience of those high calorie
pre packaged meals and snacks that so many of us survive on when not dieting.
Another time saver is to work your fitness
opportunities into the course of your day. Rather than performing one lengthy
workout each day, try to find methods of bringing a little fitness activity
into the most mundane portions of your day (go stair climbing at lunch, park on
the top level of the parking garage and walk down—then up when returning—the
stairs), park far away from the door of the supermarket and see if your mall
has a walking path that is clearly marked. You’ll be amazed at the hidden
opportunities many of us have for exercising during our busy days. The trick is
often in discovering the activities rather than the time.
When all is said and done, dieting doesn’t
have to be as time consuming as you may think it is. There are all kinds of
prepackaged plans for dieters however if that is the choice you feel is best
for you. Whether you are going with Lean Cuisine meals, Weight Watchers frozen
entrees, Jenny Craig, or the Slim Fast program there are all kinds of
opportunities to work dieting and fitness into even the busiest of schedules.
When planning your dieting practices be sure to consider the tips and advice
mentioned above.
