Dieting can be tricky, as there are many products on the market, that says they will make us slim, but unfortunately we are not always told the truth.

More important than what we eat, is that we exercise regularly, and take every opportunity to walk or run up the stairs instead of taking the lift, and walking to the shop or post office instead of driving. Basically the more we move, the more weight we lose.

There are a couple of foods though, we must avoid in order to loose weight. Soft drinks and diet drinks need to go. Instead of soft drinks, carry around a bottle of fresh water. As soon as it is finished, fill it up again. A lot of people mistake feeling hungry for actually being thirsty, and they only realise, that they are actually thirsty, when they take a sip of water. Water is essential for weight loss, because it washes away the chemicals, that are easily stored in the body.

Do not stop by fast food restaurants, no matter how hungry you feel. Fast food restaurants should be called high fat restaurants, because that is exactly what you get. Avoid chips and fried meats at all cost. Also pizza is extremely high in calories, because both cheese and salami are on the "don't eat list". If you have to eat out, go to Subway, where they try to make an effort to serve low fat meats with lots of fresh salad. It is very difficult to find a place to eat, where they really care about your health, and in most cases it would be best to carry a lunchpack with carrot sticks, apples, and other fruit and raw vegetables or nuts for energy. Eating at home is best for dieters, although some restaurants might serve a nice hot vegetable soup for lunch. White bread should never be included in a diet. Brown bread full of seeds is an exellent choice, and can be dipped in the soup.

Avoid processed foods, and basically everything in the supermarket that comes in colourful boxes and bags. Do not eat crisps, sweets, cookies, bisquits or chocolate bars. These products are very tempting, so simply avoid going down the isle, where they are sold. Commercial foods are usually packed with a quite long list of chemicals, that are dangerous for our health. Excitotoxins are taste enhancers, used extensively in crisps and products like that. They over stimulate the neurons in the brain and kills them. The result is brain damage. These same foods are also high in salt and sugar, which should be avoided. Both salt and sugar traps water in the body, and makes us look fat.
