10 More Weight Loss Tips

By Stephanie Boyle



As the overwhelming response I got from the last post on 10 weight loss tips, I figured I'd make a new one with some of the tips I got from you. Here's 10 more weight loss tips for the Atkins fans out there.



#11. As a reward, treat yourself to new clothes in styles you never thought you would wear again.

#12. Keep a carb counter close to your refrigerator so you don't have to pull it out all the time. Makes it more convenient and you will use it more often.

#13. Fresh fruits and vegetables are less likely to have a large impact on your blood sugar than fruit and vegetable juices, so eat fresh fruit!

#14. Try a new recipe each week in your low carb cookbook and note the ones you liked so you can make them again.

#15. Most recipes you are used of using anyways can be modified into low carb, so you can still enjoy most of your favorite meals.



#16. When eating out, ask the server if they can replace the potatoes or rice with an extra serving of vegetables. Most restaurants will accommodate customers requests.

#17. If you do eat at a restaurant order the basics such as fish, lamb chops, or roasted chicken.

#18. Get into the habit of adding lentils, chick peas and other legumes to your salads and to your diet in general. These makes a filling fiber rich meal with well needed nutrients.

#19. When shopping for food or dinning out, bring a pocket sized carb-gram counter to make sure you are getting the amount of foods you need.

#20. If you find yourself starving and full of food cravings, increase intake on fat and protein and cut back your carb intake.
