Simple and easy weight management

If you can minimize sugar in the diet, maintaining your weight is relatively easy. 1st step is to eliminate all sugar drinks: No sodas, little milk, little fruit juice. Drink bottled spring water, green tea (green and white tea is delightful), and coffee (black)in moderation. Did your parents not teach you how to drink coffee black? It's not too late to develop a taste for it. It's the only way to drink coffee. The sugar and cream crowd, including the "latte" dunces standing in line, are misguided. Sensitize yourself to sugar. Avoid the sugar snacks & corn syrup foods and let the most sugary thing you eat to be fruit. If you want to gain weight, starve yourself. The body naturally overcompensates with a vengeance, craftily defying the mind, and you end up eating too much. Starving is the formula for weight gain. Basically, don't worry too much about oils, except make the choices for higher quality oils. Eat your largest meal in the morning to start the day, and then eat 4 healthful snacks dispersed throughout the day to maintain blood sugar. Traditional big meals are spaced too far apart and put us on a blood sugar roller coaster. Try not to eat after sundown. Social situations often make that impractical, and flexibility is recommended. Always provide fiber at every meal, which can be done by having a fruit or vegetable. Fiber minimizes the loss of energy because it passes with ease through the intestines, and slows down the sugar absorbion which is critical in avoiding fat storage. When you feel low in energy, you naturally eat more. So fiber is a major player in weight management. Fun exercise and physical activity is a must for healthful living.
