How to Manage Your Diet

A diet doesn’t have to be a fad – it is possible for it to become part of your lifestyle. The majority of people who follow a traditional ‘diet’ will simply put back on all the weight they have lost after a few short months. This is due to the fact that we view a traditional diet as something that needs to be done for a short time, before quickly going back to our usual habits.

Going the Zotrim Way helps you to improve your weight and your body shape, by helping you to adopt it as a normal habit. If your normal eating pattern is good for you then you won’t be putting on any weight. This is why it’s so important to make that decision now and make some lifelong changes to your lifestyle and diet.

Making healthy eating a habit does not mean using expensive supplements or unusual food – or even starving yourself. Even though celebrity diets may endorse these methods, they are not the way of achieving a healthy body!

The Zotrim Way is not a calorie controlled diet, but it helps to decrease the number of calories you eat by suggesting some simply changes to your diet and lifestyle.

Eating Less High Fat Foods

There has been a lot of publicity about high fat diets, but the truth is that experts agree that the healthiest way to lose weight and to keep it off, is to simply reduce how much fat you eat. When you eat fatty foods they will have more than twice the amount of calories than high carb foods in proportion to their weight.

This means that you are much more likely to overeat when it comes to a high fat meal. High fat meals also have a slow effect on our appetite, which is why many of us keep eating them long after we’ve already had enough calories. This does not mean that all fatty food is bad for you, but you should try to avoid fats that come from animal products (such as dairy and meat) which are linked to the risk of developing heart disease.

Instead, go for healthy fats found in vegetables, fish and nuts. In short you should try to focus on eliminating unhealthy high fat foods. This kind of bad fat is found in a number of foods including lard, vegetable oils, butter, margarine, cheese, cream, pate, quiche, crisps, sausages, pastry, fried food, cakes, ice-cream, peanuts, biscuits, salad dressing, chocolate and salad cream.

When you are checking over your diet diary for the week you should mark all of these foods (as well as similar foods that are not on the list) in red ink.

Eat More High Carb Foods

If you eat starchy foods these contain less than half the amount of calories of fatty foods, as well as being a great source of vitamins and fiber. There are many nutritionists who believe that fiber is a great way of promoting weight loss, by reducing our appetite.

In studies where participants replaced high fat foods with high carb foods, they lost weight without consciously having to limit their calorie intake. High carb foods include things like pasta, bread, rice, breakfast cereal, potato, lentils, cous cous, beans, peas, vegetables and fruit. When you are checking your 7 day diet diary you should mark all of these foods (and similar ones not included on the list) in green ink.

Some sweet foods, including preservatives, fruit bread, sugar, fruit gums, pastilles and boiled sweets can also be a good source of carbs so long as they are eating in moderation. A little sugar added to your drinks and a high fiber breakfast is a good way of making your diet a little more fun.

Other Food in Your Diet

Eggs, fish, meat and vegetarian alternatives all contain protein which can help your body to repair its tissues. You should try to keep fat on these to a minimum when cooking by grilling, boiling, baking and poaching instead of frying. When eating meat, always try to choose a lean cut and remove any visible fat. You should try to eat fish around two times a week, especially oily fish such as trout, cod, salmon, mackerel and sardines – these all contain healthy fats.

How Much To Eat

Every person is different when it comes to how much they can eat, and we all know people who seem to have a bottomless stomach and yet never put on any weight!

However, the best way to check whether you are eating the right amount is to keep a close eye on your weight, measuring it alongside your waist circumference each month. When the Zotrim Way begins to work you will find that your weight gets smaller.

If you don’t see any reductions after around two months then you need to exercise more or reduce what you are eating. Try using a smaller plate as a great way of reducing your portion sizes
