It sounds like a bad advertisement, but Bobby Flay lost 10-15 pounds over the past year just by following a few simple rules: eating only three-quarters of his meals at restaurants, working out consistently, refusing to eat food that doesn’t taste good, and not eating late at night.
The Washington Post talked to Katherine Tallmadge, a registered dietician and author, who agreed that even these small lifestyle changes would add up to serious weight loss.
She also suggested controlling what goes on your plate in the first place (maybe because it’s easier to convince yourself to eat three-quarters of a salad than three-quarters of a filet mignon?), and making sure to find an exercise program that works for you. Flay runs marathons, but Tallmadge noted that, “For some people, just training for a breast-cancer walk is enough to lose 30 pounds.”
Other tips from the chef? Use flavorful ingredients like garlic, onions, and mushrooms to build flavor, swap vinaigrettes for heavy sauces, and think of vegetables as the main course and meat as the side dish.
Bobby I also like your plan, I'm willing to try anything to loose the extre weight . I used to leave the hose @ 5:00 am and walk 15 miles in 4 hours but right now I'm having a lot of problems walking 1 mile due to the fact I have to go into the hospital in Febuary and have a total knee replacement and I'm in a lot of pain every day but I do my stretching, yoga . I'm a type 2 diabetic and I'm @ a stand still of 168 pounds can you give me any ideas what I can do to loose @ least 18 pounds.
