Sensible ways to lose weight

Posted on Jun 6th 2007 3:31PM by Rigel Celeste

Filed Under: Diet & Weight Loss

You can gimmick yourself to death these days trying to find new and exciting ways to lose weight, but the only real way to get lasting results is to be sensible in your approach and stick to the tried-and-true basics. AARP is aiming to help people remember just what the 'basics' are by offering some suggestions.

They are reminding everybody not to skip meals, to drink lots of water (especially before meals so you feel fuller), to eat foods with high fiber and water content (fill up with less calories), to keep a food journal, and most importantly: not to give up! Every little bit helps.

Ooo! Ooo! I have one!! How about eat less, and exercise more? "No way, I never thought of that one! Geebers, you could write a whole book on the ELEM-ent diet!!"

And so there you have it. Put less down your pie hole and move a bit, and you'll lose weight. People can be so silly with this and act as though there's some magical violation of physics for them, that they can expend more energy while taking in less and have the deficit simply come from some unseen portal. Yeah, maybe there's tricks to feel fuller and stop yourself from overeating, but in the end, it's just about creating a caloric deficit.

I know that for a fact that drinking water enriched foods helps you lose weight. Water goes right through your body and flushes fat right out. Two of my favorites are cauntolope and watermelon. Cauntolope has vitamin a in it to.
