Some good tips here

Lisa Marie Rosati Answered:

Great Question! Some nutrition tips on how to help lose weight would be:

  • Drink a big glass of water 15 minutes before each meal.
  • Eat a medium size salad first before eating your full meal. Be mindful of the salad dressing. There can be a lot of hidden calories in dressing.
  • Don't wait until you are famished to eat. Hungry " yes ", famished, " no ". We tend to shove the first thing in our mouth when we cross the threshold from hunger to ravenous. This can sabotage our efforts to lose weight.
  • Keep washed and ready to eat fruits and cut up vegetables on hand at all times in the fridge for quick grabbing.
  • Try to avoid " Low Fat " or "Fat Free" labeled items which tend to be loaded with hidden sugar and chemicals to help the " food like substance" taste good.
  • Try not look at the whole weight loss goal at once. Each time you choose to honor your body and your health by eating a nutritious and healthy meal you win! I always pose this question to my clients, " How do you eat an elephant?" One bite at a time, of course!  By looking at each healthy meal as a stepforward in the weight loss journey, you will give yourself the empowerment to continue moving forward towards your ultimate weight loss goal.
  • I coach my clients by helping them " crowd out " the unhealthy foods they eat by eating more of the healthy and nutritious foods they love each day. By adding more healthy, fresh and delicious foods to your daily diet you tend to naturally crowd out the unhealthier choices.
  • A great rule of thumb when choosing your food is to eat as much " a-live " food as possible. Anything that was made by God and was grown out of the earth. 
  • Eat as many foods in their natural state. They are jam packed with nutrients that your body needs and craves! This entails shopping the perimeters of the super markets. Take a look at your local market.
  •  Avoid eating processed foods as much as possible. This means avoiding the inner isles of super markets. Your best foods are found at the perimeter of the food store.
  • Breathe fresh air deeply into your lungs on a daily basis. Its a great de-stressor and has been shown to uplift mood.
