Place Your Focus on What You Want to Eat

Aren't you tired of hearing, 'Don't eat this and don't eat that?' It's time to place the focus on what you want to eat rather than what you have to avoid.

Let's try a diet experiment. The next time that you go out to eat, or if you are dining at home, or even if you are planning your meals in advance, rather than placing your focus on the foods that you can't have, place your focus on the foods that you want - the foods that you enjoy eating..

Example: The dinner table is spread with salad, hot rolls, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans. A hot apple pie rests innocently on the corner of the table.

Your favorites include the fried chicken and the apple pie but you know that both of these foods are not exactly diet-friendly.

If you really think about it, most of the other foods aren't either because they've probably been covered with insecticides. Nonetheless, the salad and green beans would be considered wise diet choices over the rest of the menu.

The potatoes, gravy, green beans, hot rolls and salad will add a considerable amount of calories to your meal, especially if salad dressing and croutons are added to the salad, and extra butter is added to the potatoes and the roll. Depending upon how these foods are prepared, the calorie count may range from 500 calories (and that allows for one roll) to over 1,000 calories.

The 'What You Want' Calories: One slice of hot apple pie contains about 300 calories. One small fried chicken breast contains about 300 calories. Rather than enjoying the foods that you're not so fond of, enjoy the foods that you want. Add a small salad with light dressing to your meal which will add a healthier mix to your choices. Or, add a serving of green beans.

Being able to enjoy the foods that you want to eat is important not only to the success of your diet BUT also to the quality of your life. Being able to enjoy the foods that you want to eat also helps you remain on your diet plan.

This article isn't to say that we give a big thumb's up to chowing down on fried chicken and hot apple pie every day. But there are times when it makes perfect Diet Sense to go for the food choices that you enjoy rather than forcing foods into your body that you just really don't like.
