Do You Have this Essential Weight loss skill?

There is one practical skill which you need above all others
when you want to lose weight. That skill will give you the
ability to enjoy your food while you’re trying to lose weight as
much as when you’re not. It’s a skill that unfortunately is
getting less common these days as we lead busier and busier
lives.

What’s that skill?

The ability to cook!

If you can’t even boil an egg then you are stuck with eating
unimaginative ready meals and TV dinners or greasy take-aways
and fast food. And you will no doubt eat out in restaurants more
than is good for you. With such a combination you are unlikely
to get all the vitamins and minerals you need to stay healthy
and you will be getting far too much food full of fat, salt and
sugar and too many calories to lose weight.

With a rudimentary knowledge of cooking, however, you can whip
up the most delicious low-calorie healthy meals, eat as much as
you need (as long as you don’t stuff yourself) and enjoy
everything you eat without doing any damage to your waistline.

Of course, you need to know what to cook but there are any
number of helpful low-calorie and low-fat cookery books out
there as well as specialist magazines and websites. You can plan
a whole raft of delicious meals each week for you and your
family and they won’t even know they are eating healthily to
keep you company!

If you really don’t have a clue where to start it’s worth
joining a beginners class or buying a basic “Learn to cook” book
to get the fundamental skills. After that the whole world of
delicious cuisine is your oyster.

You may even find that your attempts to lose weight may result
in you gaining a whole new exciting relationship with food
rather than fearing it as the enemy.
