Post 220 A: Weight Loss, continued post.

What has the highest amount of calories and is the easiest and healthest to cut back on is fat. I choose low fat over low calorie any day. Low fat products are uauslly lower in calorie than low calorie products, strange isn't it?

Next, I choose higher fiber foods, whole wheat and whole grain products.
A product which has high fiber my have lower points than its calorie content suggests. Example: Bran Flakes have 110 calories, add 1/2 cup of skim milk it comes to 150 calories. With 0.5g fat and dietary fiber of 5g it's only 2 point on the weight watchers scale.

My breakfast usually consists of:
One boiled egg, 2 points.
Bran flakes with skim milk and Splenda, 2 points (add two sliced strawberries).
One slice of whole wheat toast with one pat of Smart Balance light, 1 point.
One or two cups of coffee with Splenda and a teaspoon or two of non-dairy creamer, 0 points.

Tip: When you feel hungry between meal, it may be thirst instead of hunger. Drink something low calorie and wait 20 minutes. If you still feel hungry, then it is hunger. A half an apple or half a banana makes a good, health between meals snack.

Remember, after you eat it takes 20 minutes for your brain to tell you your stomach is full.
