Stay away from foods high in sugar, such as candy, cookies, and pastries. Avoid high fat snacks such as nuts, chips, and chocolate foods. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water each day. This is the same amount as 4 to 7 soda pop cans of liquid. Limit how much alcohol you drink.
Alcoholic drinks have many calories and little else.
Enjoy your food by sitting down and eating slowly. Do not skip meals. Mealtime should be relaxing and enjoyable. Check with your care giver before you start to exercise again. This will help you stay with your weight loss program.
