Weight Loss 101

I've heard from quite a few people who read my blog and have also had success following the weight loss advice.

Last week I talked about my own temptations to use some gimmicky or fad diet and how I opted instead for the good old-fashioned tried and true way, which is exercising more and eating less. 

Now, we can deconstruct parts of the weight loss strategy so you can try a few of these things yourself. There are 5 components of the Nurse Barb Plan for weight loss. All of these are based on science, staying healthy and real long term results.

• Mindful eating
• Increased exercise
• Building muscle mass by using weights +/or resistance
• Smaller portions
• More vegetables and Fewer carbs

This week we'll start with more vegetables and fewer carbs.  You've probably heard about low carb diets and maybe even tried South Beach or heard about low glycemic index foods.  If you have, then you're way  ahead of the game and have a better understanding of how important it is to choose your food wisely and not pack on extra sugars and carbohydrates.  

I'm not saying to stop eating carbohydrates.  I am saying this:  Make wise choices with carbs.
