Welcome to Part Three of my series on "A Thinner Me in 2013". I hope you've learned a few new facts about eating healthier and have made a few changes that will lead to a healthier you. Here are some suggestions for five new behaviors that can lead to weight loss.
- Be Wary of "Diet" FoodsI can't tell you how often I actually gained weight on foods labeled "low fat" or "fat free". Often these products are loaded with sugar to make up for the taste lost when the fat is removed. Since many "diet" foods are also highly processed, you end up getting fewer nutrients and lots of empty calories. I finally learned to stay away from these so called "diet" foods and learned to eat smaller helpings of a higher-fat food periodically. It's a behavior change that will last a lifetime.
