French Fries
French fries are a very addictive snack to have during the day. Unfortunately, they cause problems for many people who are trying to lose weight. But if you want french fries that will help your scale go down instead of up, try baking them. Slice potatoes into half an inch sticks; mix them with a tablespoon of oil, add some salt and pepper and cook them for half an hour at 400 degrees. Loosen it by using a spatula, bake and turn it for another ten minutes or so. They taste great dipped in ketchup and have far fewer calories than the deep fried variety. Thanks to Laurel’s Kitchen cookbook for these “French Bakes”!
A good way to help maintain the proper weight is to not eat a few hours before you go to bed. Although easier to say than to do, it’s worth avoiding food before bedtime, because any food you take in will just sit there in your stomach, not burning off, and eventually making its way to your fat cells. Eat a few hours before you go to bed and remain active throughout the evening so you burn these calories.
Weight Loss
Weight loss does not need to be a solitary journey. Ask friends and family to be a weight loss buddy to make the journey easier. If you don’t know anyone who will do that, look online for a local group with people who are looking for a buddy to partner with. The internet may even lead you to finding an actual group that you can attend in your area.
