You answered no to question 3:
3. Have you made a commitment to prepare more meals at home?
Dining out five or more times a week can make losing weight next to impossible with portion sizes and ingredients beyond your control. Take back control with a few simple strategies:
– If you typically skip breakfast or grab something on the run, you need to start thinking about healthy breakfast options that you can eat at home or pack and bring to work that will save both calories and money. Try pre-packaged Amy’s breakfast burritos; energy bars, low-fat yogurt with a banana or oranges; a pre-packaged muffin with low-fat yogurt; a small container of cottage cheese with berries, etc.
– Plan for packed lunches. Get some small plastic containers and brown bags, then stock up on low-fat frozen entrees and other portable lunch options. (You’ll find plenty of tempting ideas on our meal plans.)
– Make a chart on the fridge for fast food and tally how many times you eat it each week. Try to keep that number to less than three.
