Ok, I am not a strict dieter and honestly speaking not a great disciplined life leader. But, when it was the matter of that belly fat, I got really serious. I had always wanted to look great and to prove to others 'I am fit not fat'. So, I started with some health dieting and I believe if any one follows this , he is going to see some tremendous results.

If you love cooking you have an advantage if you can get yourself motivated for making health food. I did the same. Low fat mayonnaise is my favorite so I combined one teaspoon of Dijon mustard or satay sauce and some low fat yogurt. It was one of the fantastic healthy foods.

Try never to skip meals even though some moron dieter tells you do so. Take stuffed vegetables like capsicum and zucchinin along with some flavored fillings or minced chicken, white meat or fish for your lunch or dinner. They are healthy food and contain low fat. Pita bread roll ups or salad filling rolls are also great. Alfalfa or mung beans , if added to salad will help you get extra iron.

One thing you have to be careful about if you are serious about weight loss is how your body's metabolism reacts to what are your day to day eating schedules. Changing an eating pattern also affects it. If you just waken up your metabolism is at peak levels and slows down after about 8 hours, so 30 minutes of exercise before dinner is great. What it will do is increase the metabolism for about two to three hours and will greatly help in burning the fat even hours after the work out is over.

One thing that you should continue for ever is to learn a lot about healthy recipes. There are many and honestly speaking you'll never get bored with the same healthy food if you are a little smart in replacing it from time to time. Remember, good cooking and healthy eating are two habits that you are going to benefit from n the long term.

It won't hurt to know what family favorite recipes are there and how to make them. Fats, salt and sugar are supposed to be cut out. Non-fat yogurt is a good replacement for cream and herbs and spices for salts.

I talked a lot about weight loss programs and what kind of workout programs to try with my doctor and other fitness experts. Honestly speaking those were more demanding than I was willing to do. So, I bought a home treadmill and religiously use it still for half an hour. I agree that's not a lot but even small steps make big differences, at least they did for me. One thing more I learnt was how to do body weight training and I tried some simple workouts on a simple mat. The experience was great and results almost immediate.

Having said that, there is a lot more you can do like to keep care of the way you eat and chew bite during meals . If you are a slow eater and chewer, you are at advantage as it ends to reduce your appetite. Also try to compete three small meals and two snacks everyday instead of one or two huge meals. If you take these precautions coupled with the healthy eating and workout programs, you will see results faster than you can imagine.
