Stop limiting your food intake


By Lissa Wohltmann

Are you eating ENOUGH to lose weight? Yes, most weight-loss plans have you eating 4 oz. of this, 2 oz. of that, 1 slice of whole wheat toast, ½ cup of cottage cheese, blah, blah, blah. Who can subsist on this miniscule quantity of food? Not me. I need lots of food to keep me going every day and ½ cup of salt-filled cottage cheese is not going to cut it (yup, cheese has a ton of sodium in it). That’s why I focus on eating lots of natural fiber rich foods (not the faux fiber you find in Fruit Loops and “energy” bars). Eating small portions has never worked for me. Sure, it did for a few days, but then the super hunger monster took over and depleted the contents of my refrigerator right before my very eyes. It was amazing!

Instead of starving myself, I just concentrate on eating as many fiber rich foods as possible. When I do that, I can’t possibly eat enough food to gain weight and I actually stay full (and that’s something, for me). Oh, did I mention fiber-rich foods are found in any grocery store in the world? You can eat brown rice, apples, bananas, oatmeal, any type of beans (these are the best), lentils, etc. (oh, and the amount of protein is tremendously high). If you want to lose weight but not the money in your wallet, just click on to the Full Plate Diet. Check out the video and go from there. Won’t cost you a thing. Oh, yes, and they are on FaceBook. Let me know what you think and until then, stay tuned……
