A few days ago I decided to eat a steak  for Saturday dinner. It was about 200 g. Very tasty! However I ate about the half of the steak! I could not finish it because I was full. I could not believe it! A few years ago I would eat the whole steak with a side dish and asked for more. At that time I was overweight. But now I’m ok. What happened to me? What happened to my appetite? What happened to my stomach? In my opinion the secret of weight loss is daily meal planning to avoid processed food.

Because I believe that the worst thing in the world for our health is processed food. I’ve eliminated it and now I do not have to worry about eating too much, about prortion control etc..  My patients and I found out, that the hardest part is the day time, because when we are at work, we eat what is readily available — junk food.  Daily meal planning can solve this problem. What I do for myself is I plan my morning and day time meals in advance. For example I decide to eat apples in the morning and oranges for lunch. So before going to work I make sure, that I have apples and oranges available, as well as plenty of water. Or I decide that for breakfast I’ll have strawberries and for lunch I’ll eat pears. So I make sure, that straberries and pears are in my refrigerator. Dinner is easy to plan too: salad and meat or fish. Sometimes 1 or 2 tablespoons of brown rice. Or broccoli. Or cabbage. Because there are no carbohydrates, there is no constant hunger. Of course sometimes I’m hungry, but not that much. The secret: daily meal plannning. Just make sure, that you have fruites with you. Do not forget water. And do not worry about weigh loss!
