Coconut Milk – Weight Loss Diet Solutions

I’ve written this sort of post before, but I just haven’t had a lot to say this week. So I’m posting to say that I’ve been exercising every day as well as counting calories (staying around 1,600 a day) and things are going well.

I’m in a groove. My food posts wouldn’t be very interesting because I’m eating the same meals over and over again right now. It’s just comforting to eat 1/2 c meusli with 1/2 C of milk and know that it will be good and keep me full for hours with only 255 calories.

For lunch, I am eating a hot sandwich using my panini press. Usually chicken and muenster on whole wheat. Maybe a side of spinach or carrots.

And for dinner you will find us eating rice with either a lentil/onion indian dish or thai red or green curry with shrimp or chicken and vegetables. Coconut milk and basmati rice are in regular rotation around here.

After my workout, I break out the food processor for a frozen fruit smoothie. One banana, one cup strawberries, one cup blue berries, juice of one tangerine and one cup milk. If I have it I’ll add mango, or vanilla almond milk.

Sometimes it varies, but right now, this is good, healthful, comforting food for me. It’s predictable. Something I usually hate. I love variety and I’m sure next week I’ll switch to eating something else every single day. But this week, I know what I’m probably going to eat. And I know that I am most definitely going to exercise and push myself.

I feel good. I feel a vibration of health running through me. I don’t even know what that means, but I was at the grocery story last week, several hours after yoga and I just felt whole and balanced. Standing there in the aisle, I unexpectedly felt whole. Things are happening, and I feel like I’m on my path.

I realized in an almost alarming way that I am content right now. Not settled, not stunted or too comfortable, but content. I don’t want for anything at the moment. I don’t feel a push to be more than who I am being right now. I know it’s because of exercise and eating well. I know it’s because I have 10 bags of stuff to donate to goodwill today. I know it’s because I’ve hit a balance that I am pleased with.

I feel good.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet: How to Lose Weight at Home

More importantly, having supportive partners will also make you feel more accountable for your actions. 2. Trim the fats – fat is very dense in energy. so even cutting out 1 tablespoon per day can help you lose nearly 2kg a year. Avoid or reduce butter, cream, copha, coconut milk and margarines. Choose trim cuts of meat and cut off all fat before cooking. Plus, cut back on takeaways, chips, biscuits and pastries. But it is OK to have a treat now and then, but in moderation. 3. Focusing on your weight makes people obsessed. Health should be measured by assessing how well you look after yourself. This includes looking at other factors like eating habits, lifestyle habits, such as stress levels, smoking, drug use and physical activity. Studies have proven that fitness is the key not the level of fatness. 4. The next time you feel a little tense, munch on a few celery sticks – it’s far better than snacking on the wrong kind of snacks. Apart from being a good source of vitamin B complex and magnesium, celery also contains phthalides (great for lowering the risk of high blood pressure). 5. Get into a routine with meals. Once you have meals planned you are in control of food rather than the other way round. Just make sure you include a reasonable amount of protein foods at each meal to prevent uncontrolled hunger.
