PCOS Infertility Diet - Let"s Eat
Failing again and again to meet your weight loss goals, or feeling out of control in your life, can be totally reversed by everyday smart thinking, such as saying no to a bread basket, piece of cake, or bag of pretzels.
To change your weight, you need to change your thinking.
Here are some pointers to eating right, arranged in four steps.
You need to pay attention to directions and amounts, and also to your body's reaction to what and how much you eat.
If you have doctor's orders to avoid something, then by all means follow his or her direction.
But its not all about avoiding and saying no.
1.
Embrace Good Practices Portion sizes are important.
Therefore you will need to weigh certain foods on a food scale and measure other foods in a measuring cup until you feel you can eyeball portions accurately.
Try not to skip meals and snacks.
Eating small meals regularly helps control overeating.
Avoid alcohol.
Not only is alcohol an empty source of calories, but it can also reduce your willpower to watch what you eat.
Save it for special occasions, and you should account for the calories in alcohol by omitting calories from your eating plan.
Take a multivitamin supplement.
While real food is always best.
A multivitamin can help provide your body with some of the nutrients your diet may be lacking.
2.
Make This About You Pay attention to how your body feels after eating various foods.
If you find a particular meal suggestion (for example, a breakfast of yogurt, bran cereal, and nuts) does not satiate you, omit that meal or snack from your eating plan and focus on the meals that satisfy you (perhaps the egg white omelet with veggie sausage and light toast).
Don't forget your food history.
If you have always had difficulty controlling portions of a certain food, for example, nuts or bread, do not include that food in your meal plan.
Eat your favorite foods.
Many patients will ask if they can incorporate some of their favorite "non-diet" foods into their eating plans on occasion.
The answer is absolutely! No one should feel deprived 100 percent of the time.
The key is that these indulgences need to be moderate, planned and done on special occasions-maybe twice a month.
3.
Things to Enjoy Use a cooking spray, instead of oil or butter, whenever you can.
Pile on the greens.
Salad greens can be consumed in unlimited amounts.
Most vegetables welcome.
While it is unlikely that anyone ever gained weight from eating too many green beans, you still should account for your calories from vegetables.
Drink plenty of fluids.
Water, seltzer, diet drinks, regular and decaf tea, and regular and decaf coffee are allowed.
4.
Troubleshooting Hidden calories.
Be careful with salad dressings.
There is no easier way to ruin a healthy low-calorie meal than to top it off with 300 calories of dressing! Consume a maximum of 70 calories for salad dressing.
You should eat three meals a day, at the same times each day, as often as possible, plus a snack between breakfast and lunch, lunch and dinner, and after dinner, for a total of three per day.
