Tyler TX Portion Control
It is quite possible that the number one cause for the obesity epidemic today has more to do with portion sizes and less to do with what the actual foods are. While it is true that fatty, processed foods are less healthy for us than fresh and natural choices, the problems arise when they are eaten in excess. A simple hamburger from the local Tyler, Texas fast food joint won’t have any lasting detrimental effects on its own. It is when the hamburger is made to be double or triple the normal serving size and consumed in conjunction with the largest side of fries available and a 36 ounce soft drink that people begin to experience weight gain.
Consume these portion sizes every day, several times a day and it won’t be long before you start noticing your clothes are getting a bit snug. Moderation is the key to maintaining a healthy weight. You do not have to dine on lettuce and carrots exclusively, nor should you. A healthy diet is not about deprivation as much as it is about moderation. Learn what a serving size it, how to measure it, and do not allow yourself to consume more than that.
Make the bulk of your Tyler, Texas diet unprocessed, healthy foods in portions appropriate for your body. When you do indulge, do it wisely and do not over indulge. There is no reason you can’t enjoy a fully loaded sundae every once in a while…just make it a small one and don’t make it a daily habit.

Tyler Texas Weight Loss Tips
Although the weight loss industry would tell you different, shedding pounds can be difficult. There are so many potholes in the road of best intentions that adhering to any plan sometimes seems a futile attempt. Luckily, there are some simple things you can do to kick start your weight loss in Tyler, Texas that don’t require much effort or money.
Perhaps the simplest thing is to increase your water intake. Your body needs water, and not the kind that is tainted with syrups and sugars. The standard advice of eight 8 ounce glasses a day, or 64 ounces, is a good place to start, but is probably not accurate for the majority of the population. You need to consume, in ounces, your body weight divided by 2. So if you weigh 200 pounds, you should strive for 100 ounces of water per day. If you think you are hungry, reach for the water first; you could just be thirsty.
Snack on fruits or veggies instead of chips and cookies. If preparation time is a barrier, consider purchasing fruit that is already cut up. A simple fruit salad makes a great substitute for a hamburger at lunch. You’ll have more energy without a bloated, overly full feeling and the sugar you get from the fruit is in a form that your body can use. Give the Tyler, Texas fast food joints a break for a month and see if the scales, and your wallet, don’t show positive results.

Sonic Tyler TX
To tip or not to tip? The question of tipping the Sonic car hops has many different opinions and answers. Many people think that they should not tip because it is fast food and you are eating in your car. You probably will have to clean up your own trash out of your car. The car hops do not get paid minimum wage most of the time because they are expected to get tips.
I don’t really know where I stand on the issue. When I have sat in my car and the car hop brought my food out to me I usually give them a small tip like a dollar, I may give more if they actually still wore skates. When you are paying with a card at the drive up, you do not get the choice to tip. So if Sonic made it easy and clearer if you were suppose to tip the car hops, maybe more people would.
I am not a big fan of the Sonic food. There really are two reasons to go to Sonic: sand volleyball, and drinks. Many Sonics in Tyler do not have the sand volleyball court, or the play area. The only thing that those Sonics have going for them is the large selections of Sonic drinks and ice cream treats.
For some reason Sonic ice is the best ice around. The other night I was having a huge craving for a Sonic Snickers Blast. The Sonic was suppose to about an hour and half after I got there, but when I asked for my ice cream treat they had informed me that they already had shut down and cleaned the ice cream machine. This is a really annoying thing that fast food places do.
If the restaurant is not closed I expect them to serve everything on the menu. There really is no reason to go to sonic if they wont serve the menu that they claim they serve the WHOLE menu all day!

Diet is important if you want to lose weight. You cannot realistically expect to eat fast food every day for lunch and notice anything but an increase in your size. The food choices you make have an impact on not only your size, but also your overall health. Learning how to adopt a healthy diet, however, can be difficult with all of the crash and fad diets lurking around Tyler, Texas.

Diet does not refer to a temporary change in eating habits for the purpose of weight loss, but rather to a lifestyle habit. The nutrition plan you adopt should be one that provides adequate nutrients to the body and is sustainable even after your weight loss goals have been met. Speak to your Tyler, Texas doctor or dietary specialist for expert help on finding the right balance of fats, carbs, proteins, and calories.
Plenty of information is also available on the internet, but you must be careful of sites promising unrealistic results. Doctors recommend a rate of weight loss of no more than 2 pounds a week for health. It is easy to lose water weight for a week or two, making a diet initially seem like it is working, but once the water weight is off the body enters starvation mode and holds on to fat even more.
Of course, a healthy diet will aid in weight loss, but to achieve tone you must also exercise. Start out by simply walking every day and build up from there.
Look into a group exercise class as a fast effective way of losing weight: Visit the Tony Cruz XTC Fitness & Sports location: Map XTC Website Weight loss Blog
