Dieting Dilemma - It Tastes Too Good!

Foodies always have a big problem on their hands. We gain weight - and fast. It's just that we can't resist good tasting food. Unfortunately to much of a good thing puts on the pounds. Then it;s back to diet food - which is usually bland, unexciting and has about as much taste as cardboard. What's a fat foodie to do?

Surprisingly keep eating what you love.You can still enjoy fries and burger, cookies and lattes. There are two ways of tackling this yummy food problem. Moderation . Eat what you like but in little increments or eat full portions but maybe once or twice a month. In other words you can share that splice of pizza or basket of onion rings or fries or just eat a few every so often. either way treat them as treats. Some people hold off with eating the fun stuff for the weekends. This makes them food that much more special and fun after a grueling week of low cal fare.

Another solution is to make diet foods tasty. use more herbs and spices to liven up salads and grilled foods. If you;re becoming tired of constantly eating grilled chicken or fish take it to the next level. Add lime juice to the cooking process to make it tastier. Salads boring you? Switch vinegars. Apple cider vinegar gives traditional vinaigrette a whole new spin and actually makes whatever is on your salad tastier. If you're tired of eating the same kind of fruit, mix it up by going for something else.

Don't worry if you've put on a few pounds. There are ways of getting the weight off while still enjoying your favorite foods. It does take some thinking and planning but it can be done. You can have your cake, fries and pizza and eat them too.
