Dieter's Horse Sense Diet Plan

Written by Diet Bites

Not having good luck on your current diet plan? Neigh? Well, quit horsing around and mount this sensible diet plan that makes use of your good sense while meal planning. Watch out for cockleburs.

Losing weight CAN be about a lot of things such as: calories, fat, carbs, exercise and so forth. But basically, maintaining a trim shape stems upon the types of foods that we eat to fuel our bodies. Making smart food choices mirrors those results on our weight scales.

Here is an example of how you can put your Good Diet Horse Sense to work while retiring your Bad Diet Horse Sense to pasture:

Bad Diet Horse Sense

Good/Better Diet Horse Sense

Donut - about 200 calories

Banana - about 100 calories

Chicken Fried Steak & Country Gravy- about 750 calories

Grilled Sirloin - about 150 calories per 3 ounces

Cheeseburger (regular) - about 600 calories

Cheeseburger (small) - about 300 calories

Candy Bar - about 300 calories

1/2 bag of light buttered popcorn - about 150 calories

Potato Chips - about 160 calories per serving

1 baked potato, pat of butter, salt, pepper - about 150 calories

Cupcakes (2) - about 400 calories

Ham, Cheese, light Mayo, lettuce, tomato sandwich on 2 slices of bread + 1 serving of chips - about 400 calories

Enchilada (beef & cheese) - 1 for about 600 calories

Taco (lean ground beef) - 1 for about 180 calories

In Summary: Choose foods that will produce healthy results for your body and excess weight will naturally decrease. Even those of us who aren't geniuses can easily reason that a fresh vegetable is healthier than one drowning in butter and cheese. All it takes is a little good Diet Horse Sense.


More Bad Diet Horse Sense

Diet Horse Blinders - Sally is very interested in a 750-calorie piece of pecan pie. She believes that if she ignores the amount of calories contained in the pie, she will not experience weight gain.

Heavy Foods Equals Weight Gain - Even though an eclair may be light and fluffy and a grapefruit may be round and boxy, they are light-years apart in calorie content. Never judge a food by looking at its cover.

Diet Pills Will Solve all Weight Ills- There is no diet pill alive that can melt pounds off the body.

Some diet pills may curb appetite, or make an individual feel as if they have just stuck their finger in a light socket, or dehydrate the body to produce 'false weight loss' - but they cannot melt away fat from the body.

In Summary: To lose weight, utilize your good horse sense.
