Since I've passed the 50 year mark, I've noticed some pounds creeping up on me and it's frustrating as I've never had to watch my weight before. So I thought I'd share my top ten tips to lose a few pounds (and they're relatively easy)!
1. Drink only water.
2. Eat a small salad before lunch and dinner.
3. Exercise at least 20 minutes per day, 4-5 days per week.
4. Eat a handful of nuts between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. each day.
5. Eat only rye bread when you have a bread product.
6. Eat at least 1/2 - 1 cup raw carrots each day.
7. Eat 1/2 cup cottage cheese or Greek yogurt each day.
8. Eat 2 squares of Dove chocolate each day.
9. Try to include avocados and olives into your diet.
10. Have a small snack before retiring (I eat 1/2 cup corn flakes or rice chex.)
These little changes can help ward off those nagging pounds that can creep up on us.
Please feel free to comment and add any tips you have found to work for you!
God bless!
