How To Feed Your Family When You Are The Only One On A Weight Loss Diet.

by George Black

Many people complain that it’s hard for them to stick to a diet, when they are the only ones on a weight loss diet at home. After all, the rest of the family has to eat “real food”, right?

So, how can you “feed” your family properly AND still stick to your weight loss diet?

I’ll give you some real examples of what I do. Usually, each “normal food” (cooked for the family) will have “good” parts and “not so good” parts. The trick is to eat more of the former and less of the latter…

Example 1: The food is chicken with fries, cheese and bread

You eat: Chicken with some sliced tomato (see? You didn’t eat the fries or the bread – and cutting up an extra tomato isn’t difficult at all).

Example 2: The food is steak with pasta

You eat: Steak with pasta – you just eat half a portion of pasta.

From experience, I can tell you that carbohydrates and fat are extremely easy to find in foods. People with a lot of extra weight (fat) usually eat more foods that contain these. Protein is a little harder to find. People with a lot of extra fat usually don’t eat enough of this.

If you need to add protein to your food, you can use canned tuna or cottage cheese (this includes some carbs as well). Or, you can even use some protein powder. It can be mixed with water in 30 seconds and can be a lifesaver. You can lose weight without buying any “supplements”. But, in some cases, supplements can help as long as they are viewed as “supplements” and NOT substitutes.

Good nutrition isn’t complicated. You can keep things as simple as saying: “I’ll eat more of good foods and less of bad foods”. Go for improvement – not perfection…
