Eat better to lose weight

Do you know you can lose weight by eating better? Just by learning to eat better you can improve your chances of not only losing the weight but also keeping it off.
But how do you eat better? I've tried so many diets and fads I am just lost in all this information. Well the best way to achieve this is through planning your meals. Yeah it sounds like a drag but in a matter of minutes you can have a list of meals that you can create and be better organized with ingredients etc.

Planning meals ahead of time helps you:

* Have healthy food on hand

* Make fewer trips to the grocery store

* Eat less high-calorie, take-out meals

* Increase the variety of foods you eat each week

And better still, all this leads to you losing that weight and keeping it off.

So how do I get started? Lets have a look at your options.

Firstly, you could hire a Nutrition Consultant, that would get expensive considering that most consultants will demand on average above $60 per hour for their services. Maybe you could get some software or a book that can recommend a better plan or allow you to set a plan based off a database of recipes etc. Well now we're getting somewhere.

Lets have a look at books first. There is one major disadvantage that a printed book will always have compared to some computer software and that is as soon as its published, it begins to become outdated. Although some of the information will last the longer term (I'm talking about over a year as long term) most of it especially any recipes etc will become outdated because we like to change our tastes.

OK So what do you do. I suggest you find either some software or a website that contains a way to update the information it contains. This makes websites really cool for up to date information. Personally I use both. I have a software package that I use to plan my meals and I have membership to my favorite site where I go for research and detailed information.
