When you go grocery shopping, be sure to make a list ahead of time and try setting a time limit for your shopping. If you have a list, you are less likely to purchase items that are unhealthy for you. When you set a time limit, this can prevent you from going into parts of the store that has processed food.
Get more vegetables on your pizza! You don't have to limit yourself to the mainstays of tomatoes, mushrooms, green peppers and olives. Add an assortment of vegetables to make pizza a healthier food choice. Add anything from broccoli to zucchini to spinach! It will taste great!
Salads need color and texture to catch the picky eater's eye. Don't be content with just lettuce. Add spinach or any young green to keep things interesting. Top it all off with some grape tomatoes or tomato wedges, baby carrots, green pepper, mushrooms, mandarin oranges and a few nuts.

Many people experience difficulty losing weight because they aren't aware of appropriate serving and portion sizes for their favorite foods. As you map out your meals for the upcoming week as part of a weight-loss diet, consult a nutritionist or online source to get a good feel for what the recommended portion size actually looks like. You may be surprised to find out exactly how much you SHOULD be serving and eating.
Try to eat five to six meals a day instead of consuming three traditional meals. Usually dinner is the worst, because people tend to eat three-course meals that their body cannot break down before going to bed. When you go to bed a few hours after dinner, your body doesn't have the energy to beak down foods as quickly which results in less burned fat. Eat small amounts of food throughout the day equivalent to five or six small meals or snacks.
Don't let yourself gain excess weight at work by parking yourself in your desk chair for too long. Many jobs keep you sitting at a desk for hours at a time. You will make valuable contacts if you meet the recipient of a document you are sending, instead of sending an assistant. Deliver the envelope in person and that customer will remember you and appreciate the personal touch. Even this small amount of exercise will help you maintain a healthy weight.
