Cook meals at home as much as possible. Meals cooked in restaurants
often contain hidden calories and bad fats as well as portion sizes that are too
large. When you cook at home, you are in control of your meals contain and how
big the portions are. This is extremely important since the name of the game in
an effective weight loss plan is how many calories you consume and what types
of calories they are. However, if you are going to eat out, be sure to ask your
server to be sure to put all dressings on the side and to leave off any butter
or other high calorie toppings.
