Step 52

Ruthie’s Step 52……ABC of Weight Loss Part 2
Diets don't work. There are hundreds of diets that will help you lose weight, but what good is losing weight if you gain it right back. Choose a nutritionally balanced plan like weight watchers. Read steps 1, 17.
Eating regular meals is essential. You should go no longer than 4 to 5 hours between meals. Your hunger can trigger a binge. Dieters have better control if they eat several mini-meals throughout the day. Read step 19.
Fiber is nature's weight loss aid. It comes in two forms, soluble (the gummy type found in oatmeal and beans) and insoluble (the type found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains). Both are important to good health. Soluble fiber can help to lower cholesterol; insoluble contains indigestible fibers that add bulk to our diets. Both forms of fiber swell in the stomach and help to create a feeling of fullness. Most high-fiber foods are also high in water and low in calories. Read step 7.
