Are your cholesterol levels too high? Then make sure you avoid these mistakes

Being overweight or worse still being clinically obese, is bad news for your heart. We know that we need to get slimmer, but how is it done? It seems that all the big stars can just follow some extreme diet successfully, but for us these diets are an expensive waste of our hard earned cash. The secret is to eat sensibly, and here are 3 things you need to avoid doing if you want to lose weight.

Let’s look at three common misconceptions about losing weight.
Is missing out breakfast a good way?
Definitely not, this will leave you feeling tired and hungry by mid morning. That’s when temptation will take over and you will end up reaching for a snack. It is a medical fact that those who eat a breakfast are more likely to lose weight. Make sure that you have a healthy breakfast to start your day. I have a wheat cereal with semi skimmed milk, wholemeal bread toasted and a black coffee without sugar.
A diet needs to be strict if it is to be successful
I’ve tried this one and I’m sure you have too. Eating nothing but lettuce for a week will certainly get your weight down, but how long can you carry on with that? This type of diet, one that drastically reduces the amount of calories you consume, soon becomes boring and you will return to your usual eating habits. What you should be aiming to do is make small changes to your diet that you feel comfortable with. Find a sensible eating plan and stick to that.
I’ll have to give up my favourite foods
No you won’t have to give them up entirely. There’s no harm in treating yourself occasionally to something you really enjoy. It’s when we completely deny ourselves from enjoying a treat that we tend to slip back into our old habits. So have a slice of cake now and then, just don’t do it every day. Use it as a reward for staying with your eating plan for the previous week.

I have discovered an excellent diet plan that has been really easy to follow. The meals are tasty and I never need to snack between meals. Not only does this plan tell me about healthy eating in easy to understand language, it comes complete with the most amazing software tool. It allows me to select my favourite ingredients and then it produces a list of enough meals to last me for 14 days.
