How to be slim

There is evidence that a diet rich in calcium, and particularly in low-fat diary products, can help with weight loss.

Your metabolic rate - how many calories you burn each day - depends upon your age and your sex, your level of physical activity, and your body weight. Contrary to popular belief, heavier people have higher metabolic rates than lighter people.

It is easy to ignore the body's appetite signals, especially when eating out: being distracted, being served large portions, and being presented with a large variety of foods can all make us eat more than wee need.

Understanding and controlling your appetite is crucial in an attempt to take in fewer calories. Certain foods will fill you up more than others for the same calorie intake.

Weight Watchers healthy eating recipes!

Plaice Fillets baked with Orange and Thyme


Fish is so good for you, being a high protein food, and it’s very quick to cook too. This easy recipe is based on plaice, stuffed with orange and thyme-flavoured breadcrumbs, cooked in white wine. Then to carry on the theme, we give you suggestions to use the same ingredients in two different ways. Ingenious!


Ingredients

Low fat cooking spray

50 g fresh white breadcrumbs

2 sprigs of thyme

1 orange

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 large plaice fillets (or use lemon sole)

150 ml dry white wine


Take 1 - Plaice Fillets baked with Orange and ThymePreheat oven to 190°C, Fan Oven 170°C, Gas Mark 5. Mist a shallow baking dish with low fat cooking spray.
Put the breadcrumbs into a bowl. Strip the leaves from the thyme sprigs and add them to the breadcrumbs with the finely grated zest and half the juice from the orange. Season.


Lay the fish fillets on a work surface, skin side up. Spoon the stuffing on them at the wide end, then roll them up and arrange in the baking dish, tucking the ends underneath. Place a slice of orange onto each one. Pour over the wine, and squeeze over any remaining orange juice.


Cover with foil or a lid and bake for 25 minutes. Serve with plenty of zero POINTS value vegetables.

What are the stages of weight loss?

Stages of weight losing

Often after several days of slimming we are delighted with its effects, not being conscious that we get rid of water instead of fat. Fat burning we can consider only after 11 days of a diet. And so the schedule of burning looks:


Stage 1: During first 3 days of a diet we lose 70% of water, 5% of proteins and 25% of fat.

Stage 2: Until the 13th day of the diet we lose 19% of water, 12% of proteins and 69% of fat.

Stage 3: Between the 21st and the 24th day of the diet we lose 15% of proteins and 85% of fat.

Stage 4: From the 24th day of the diet we lose 25% of proteins and 75% of
fat.


To weight losing one needs determination and consistency.
