Re: I'm trying to loose weight
While buying food, check the labels for added sugars( sweetners etc). Plan a weekly menu,every lable has the calories mentioned on it. Men can take upto 3000 calories a day.
Start teh day with a healthy breakfast, like a glass of juice/milk, boiled eggs, or cereal. You can get frozen berries or summer fruits from a super market and can add them to the cereal to make it tastier. Parathas(if you can't resist should be made with olive oil/brown atta and should be taken on weekends only).
For Lunch get hold of recipes for salad's (no i am talking about a typical green salad). You can take brown rice, add some boiled chicken, or some smoked salmon, plus sunflower seeds and a light dressing( this is just an example salads can be fun and the options are endless).
Herbal teas( try different flavours , you will definitely like one or two), plus green tea acts an anti-oxidant and cna help maintain a healthy weight. As for snacks you can decide whatever you want to take.
Ice creams shopuld be replaced with frozen yoghurts which are exually tasty. If you are in a mood for dessert then try weight watchers, I just lurrrvv their choclate brownie (only a 100 calories) and is better then most of the other frozen desserts that I have tried.
Drink lots of water, water helps to accelerate you metabolism.
