Losing weight does not have to be so much of a sacrifice. There is no short-cuts in losing those pounds away. It takes time and patience. This is the reason why most people who are on diet are stopping themselves from enjoying life at the same time.
Life is short. It is right to keep yourself healthy but it isn't good to stop yourself from eating what you want. The secret is... everything should be put in moderation. If you have to eat vegetables, fruits and fish everyday, at least leave one night as an excuse to have fun in life.
My boyfriend's in a diet and he's really trying to cut off some pounds away which is of course good! However, he makes it a point not to miss out on his cravings at least one day in each week.
He eats healthy food from Monday to Saturday and he's really losing weight. But on Sundays, he eats whatever he wants to eat by converting his favourite food into healthier ones.
For example last Sunday, he craved for pizza. So what I did was, I made a thin-crust dough for him. Then, spread the pizza sauce over the half-baked dough. Instead of loading the pizza with the delicious pile of cheese, I sprinkled a very little pieces of cheese just to add to taste and of course, to make it look like pizza somehow. Then, instead of putting his favourite toppings such as ham, bacon and sausage, I topped his pizza with vegetables (carrots, peas and string beans). I put it on the oven for some minutes and it's done! I also added a bowl of freshly prepared green vegetable salad with corn and slices of apple to at least add enough fiber and other essential vitamin and minerals to his meal. And it's done!
He actually loved the pizza. Although it wasn't as delicious as what I usually did for him, it was still pizza prepared the healthier way.
So, as of now, I am wondering what to prepare for him on Sunday. We'll see!
