CHAPTER 3
Knowing Your Weight

We all know that being thin is healthier than being fat. The Baby Food Diet will not only keep you lean and your energy will explode making you more productive throughout the day. We have all heard how drinking a lot of alcohol and smoking cigarettes will shorten your life. I am not a doctor, but being overweight seems as obvious and detrimental to your health.

As mentioned, The Baby Food Diet is a forever regimen. Once you reach your target weight, you must keep on eating baby food, but only one meal per day. The odd thing is that I never get tired of ingesting baby food. Think about that statement. When I started the diet the first time, I cringed at the thought of swallowing such food. Now, I enjoy it daily. Another benefit of the diet reflects on your savings account. Even high-quality baby food is cheaper than most other food choices, so you will also save money!

Even if you develop an insatiable appetite for baby food, you cannot consume as much as you desire. It must be limited to two or three portions each day if you wish to lose weight and keep it off. With that in mind, there might be a day where you have baby food for breakfast, a protein-shake for lunch, fish and another baby food for dinner. If you want faster weight loss, then you can enjoy baby food for breakfast, a protein-shake for lunch, and another baby food for dinner.

For days when you are extra hungry, a third baby food is acceptable for an afternoon or evening snack. It is said that never to eat after 7 pm if you want to lose weight. The truth is if you are hungry late at night, baby food is your answer due to its pureed form and easy digestion.

As is true on all diets, drinking water is super important. Your body is mostly made up of H 2 O. When you are on The Baby Food Diet, you should drink at least eight glasses of water per day as recommended by health experts. As a matter of fact, on The Baby Food Diet I never seem to get the urge to gorge. However, if you also drink lots of zero calorie fluids in addition to baby food, you will never be hungry. That's right, I said you will never be hungry on The Baby Food Diet. Some suitable beverages include any kind of black coffee or tea without adding milk or sugar. Plain soda water, like Perrier, is also excellent at making you feel full when dieting. I often drink an Americano.

When beginning The Baby Food Diet, I suggest weighing yourself first. Tracking your weight is important, so I recommend calculating your body mass only once per month because weight does not come off in a linear fashion. There will be times when you are doing everything right and still gain a pound or two. This type of unexpected weight increase is just part of the process of shedding excess, nonetheless, it can be depressing. We all know that salt causes water retention which can add significant weight. Many other factors, especially stress, can increase heft fluctuations. With the above variables, weighing only once per month is suggested. Rest assured on this diet at the end of every month, you will have lost some weight. How much fun is it stepping on the scale and seeing that you have lost some weight? It makes me feel like I accomplished something when the scale shows positive results.

Every diet book agrees that individuals should not be in a hurry to become thin because each person has a different metabolism. I will echo the same caution with The Baby Food Diet, although you will drop weight faster than you can imagine, it still takes time. You won't even need a scale to see your weight loss because your clothes will be falling off!

I have a proven antidote for maintaining your ideal poundage after successfully losing weight. Once your target weight is achieved, you must continue weigh yourself, but only once every thirty days. At the end of each month, if you have gained 5 pounds or more, it is time to go back to the Baby Food Reduction Diet. On the other hand, if your weight is up 4 pounds after a month, don't worry about it. In such a case, wait another month and if you have gained 5 or more pounds over your goal weight, then more heavy-handed changes are in order.

When this happens, simply restart the Baby Food Fast. At the end of the next month, weigh yourself again. At that point, if you have returned to the goal weight, you can go back to the Baby Food Maintenance Diet. If you are still above your target weight, return to another month on the Baby Food Reduction Diet. If you keep having to go back and forth between the Baby Food Fast or Baby Food Reduction Diet, then you need to take a close look at your maintenance diet and portion intake.

This brings us to the age-old practice of keeping a food journal. When you are on the initial Baby Food Reduction Diet, there is no need for such a record. You are doing the same basic thing every day with some slight modifications. However, on the Baby Food Maintenance Diet, when you are eating two normal meals and substituting the third meal with baby food, keeping a journal is a good idea. If you continually experience weight gain beyond 5 pounds in a month while on the Baby Food Maintenance Diet, the journal is definitely a must. The journal enables you to clearly see when and where you are going wrong on your maintenance food.

Is a journal 100% necessary? The answer is no. You can control your weight by simply planning a Baby Food Fast or Baby Food Reduction Diet every now and fluctuation problem, I believe committing to a journal can be a beneficial solution for monitoring your maintenance problems. When consulting the journal, you may find it necessary to only change one or two small eating habits to bring your weight under control. No matter how you choose to maintain your desired physique, The Baby Food Diet keeps you thin and looking fabulous.

You may be asking,“What expectations should I have with The Baby Food Diet regarding how much weight I can lose, and how quickly I can lose it?”The answer is this diet is so easy to stay on that you will crave for nothing. Weight loss is not the same for every person as there are multiple factors that enter the equation. How fast is your metabolism? How much exercise do you get? How much stress do you encounter in your daily life? How much sleep do you get? I lost about 10 pounds in two weeks when I first went on the Baby Food Fast. Some people lose more, and some lose as little as 5 pounds during the same period. Think about it, even if a person only loses 5 pounds each month, it still adds up to 60 pounds each year. If you add exercise to the equation, you will typically lose a minimum of 10 pounds in a month. That is 120 pounds a year.

Another factor is how overweight are you currently? The heavier you are, the quicker weight will fall off. As you get closer to your target weight, the pounds come off more slowly. Does it matter? I say it does not matter at all. The Baby Food Diet is a continual lifestyle strategy, so you will never feel like you're missing out on anything. Whether fast or slow, you will lose the desired weight and eventually reach your target size. This is the only diet that can boast such a truth. g6jBMuOqCiPakgwul7HMwaVEQ2afVbas4YwNFtLkE0B2Zc+smhP7NBNl8ozSkOYh



第三章
自知体重

我们都知道瘦比胖更健康。 婴儿食品节食法 不仅会让你保持身材,旺盛的精力会让你感觉在一整天中更有效率。我们都听说过大量饮酒和吸烟会缩短寿命。我不是医生,但是超重对于健康显然也是一样有害的。

如前所述, 婴儿食品节食法 是一个永久方案。一旦达到目标体重,你仍然必须继续进食婴儿食品,但每天只有一餐。奇怪的是,我从来没有厌倦过吃婴儿食品。想想当初我说的,当我第一次开始节食时,一想到要吞下这样的食物,我就畏缩不前。而现在,我每天都很享受。节食的另一个好处体现在你的储蓄账户上。即使是高品质的婴儿食品也比大多数其他食品便宜,所以你也会因此省钱!

即使你对婴儿食品产生出贪得无厌的胃口,你也不能想吃多少就吃多少。如果你想减肥并保持体重,每天必须控制在2~3份。要记住这一点,在一天之中也许你可以早餐吃婴儿食品,午餐吃蛋白奶昔,晚餐吃鱼和另一份婴儿食品。但如果你想更快地减肥,那么你可以享用婴儿食品当早餐,午餐是蛋白奶昔,另一份婴儿食品当晚餐。

当你特别饿的时候,第三份婴儿食品可以作为下午或晚上的零食。据说,如果你想减肥,晚上7点以后绝对不要吃东西。事实上,如果你在深夜很饿,婴儿食品是你的最佳选择。这主要在于其为糊状且易于消化。

就像所有节食方法一样,喝水是非常重要的,人的身体主要由H 2 O组成。在开始 婴儿食品节食法 时,按健康专家建议,你应该至少每天喝8杯水。事实上,在 婴儿食品节食法 期间,我似乎从未有过狼吞虎咽的冲动。然而,如果除婴儿食品外,你还喝很多零卡路里的饮品,就根本不会感觉到饿。没错,我说了,在 婴儿食品节食法 期间你根本不会觉得饿。一些合适的饮品包括任何不加牛奶或糖的黑咖啡或茶,普通苏打水,比如毕雷矿泉水(Perrier),也能有很好的效果,让你在节食时有饱腹感。我则是经常喝美式咖啡。

我建议,在开始 婴儿食品节食法 之前,先量一下自身体重。关注自身体重很重要,所以我建议每月只检查一次自己的体重,因为体重不会呈线性方式下降。有时候即使做的每件事都正确,但你还是会增重1~2磅。这种意想不到的体重增加只是减肥过程中的一部分,但尽管如此,可能还是会令人沮丧。我们都知道盐会导致水潴留,从而增加体重。其他许多因素,特别是压力,可以增大体重波动。由于上述变量,建议每月只称重一次。请放心,按照这种节食方法,在每个月的月底,你的体重都会减轻一些。当你踏上体重秤,发现自己变轻了,该是多么有趣啊!当体重秤显示出积极的结果时,我会感觉自己很成功。

每一本节食方面的书籍都认为,人体不应该急于变瘦,因为每个人的新陈代谢都不一样。在 婴儿食品节食法 中,我也会重复同样的警告,尽管减肥的速度比你想象得要快,但仍然需要时间。你甚至不需要体重秤就能感受到自己的体重减轻了,因为你的衣服会变得宽松起来!

我有一种经过验证证实行之有效的方法,可以帮助你在成功减肥后保持理想的体重。一旦目标体重达到了,仍要继续称自己的体重,但是每30天只称重1次。在每个月月底,如果你的体重增加了5磅或更多,是时候回到婴儿食品减食期了。另一方面,如果你的体重在一个月后增加了4磅,不要担心,在这种情况下,再等一个月,如果你的体重比目标体重增加了 5磅或更多,那么就该进行更严格的调整。

当这种情况发生时,只需快速重启婴儿食品禁食期,下个月月底,再称一次体重。到那时,如果你已经回到了目标体重,你可以重新回到婴儿食品维持期;如果你的体重仍然超过目标,再用一个月的时间回到婴儿食品减食期;如果你不断在婴儿食品禁食期和婴儿食品减食期之间来回切换,那么你需要仔细检查维持期进食的食物及其摄入量。

这就让我们重新回到写食品日志这种老式做法上来了。在开始婴儿食品减食期的时候,不需要这种记录。每天都是按照基础的方案进食,只是做一些小小的修改而已。然而,在婴儿食品维持期,每天吃两顿正常的饭,并用婴儿食品代替第三顿饭时,记日志是个好主意。在婴儿食品维持期期间,如果你不断经历体重在一个月内增长超过5磅,那么记日志绝对是必需的。这本日志能让你清楚地看到何时、何地所进食的食物出了问题。

日志是百分之百必要的吗?答案是否定的。你可以简单地通过婴儿食品禁食期或婴儿食品减食期来控制自身体重,不时地进行调整。但是,如果你正在经历这种波动问题,我相信写日志对于监控日常维护问题是非常有益的解决方案。当你查阅日志时,会发现只要改变其中一两个小的饮食习惯就能控制自身体重。无论你选择怎样的方式来保持理想的体形, 婴儿食品节食法 都会让你保持身材且赏心悦目。

你可能会问:“关于能够减掉多少体重,我应该对 婴儿食品节食法 抱有怎样的期望,以及能以多快的速度减重?”答案是,这种节食方法很容易坚持下去,你不需要渴望什么。减肥对每个人来说都不一样,因为有很多因素在起作用。新陈代谢有多快?做了多少运动?日常生活中遇到多少压力?每天有多长时间的睡眠?当我第一次开始婴儿食品禁食期的时候,在两周时间内瘦了大约10磅。有些人减掉的更多,而有些人同期只减掉了5磅。想想看,即使一个人每个月只减5磅,每年加起来还是能有60磅。如果在此基础上再加上运动,通常一个月内至少会减掉10磅,一年就是120磅。

另一个因素是你现在体重有多重?体重越重,减得越快。当你越接近目标体重时,减得越慢。这会有什么问题吗?我说根本没有任何问题。 婴儿食品节食法 是一种持续的生活方式策略,所以你根本不会觉得少了什么。无论是快还是慢,你都会减掉理想的重量,最终达到目标体形。这是一种真正有效的节食方法。 g6jBMuOqCiPakgwul7HMwaVEQ2afVbas4YwNFtLkE0B2Zc+smhP7NBNl8ozSkOYh
