Top 5 Weight Loss Weapons (non-exercise)
October 25, 2007 10:35 pm TipsThese are what I consider the Top 5 non workout/exercise weapons for losing weight and keeping it off. My full list can be found at here
1.) Chicken Breast - Chicken Breast is very versatile, you can bake it, fry it, or BBQ it. It can be cut it into strips, or stuffed with your favorite veggies, you can skewer it and grill it or just eat it on a sandwich. With nearly 9 grams of protein per ounce it will help you feel full longer and is a smart choice for building or maintaining muscle.
2.) Chocolate Milk - 1% Chocolate milk is quickly emerging as a great health treat. All the benefits of milk (Calcium, low fat, high protein etc..) with the great taste of chocolate. A word of caution, the calories can add up very quickly. Keep your servings to 1 to 2 cups per day. (150-300 calories)
3.) The Food Scale - This is a great tool for controlling your portion sizes. You don’t need a fancy digital or nutritional scale. A plain old mechanical one will work just fine. You can find them for under $10 online or in-store. I suggest you buy one with a minimum 500 gram max capacity.
4.) Almonds - A great snack between meals or after a hard workout. Almonds are full of protein and heart healthy fat. A handful of Almonds, 1 ounce or 23 whole ones have about 160 calories, 6 grams of Protein, 14 grams of unsaturated fat and 3 grams of fiber. Not to mention all the vitamins and minerals packed into them.
5.) The Internet – There is a wealth of information on the internet that can aid you in your weight loss efforts. With more people becoming healthier everyday and new sites popping up to offer their advice and share their experiences, it has never been easier to get in shape. You can find anything from what to eat to
how and when to exercise. There are also lots of great tips on how to stay motivated through it all.
Here are some of the other great weight loss related resources to help you out:

Chicken breasts and almonds are two of my favorites. I’ll make a few extra breasts when I make dinner and then I’ve got some protein for sandwiches later - I just add a little cheese and dressing and put between a couple of romain hearts. Blue Diamond Smokehouse almonds are a staple for me.
Thanks for the link!

John and Israel,
I don’t think I could ever get tired of eating Chicken breasts. There are just so many different ways to prepare them.
My new favourite is Chocolate Milk. I have that after my workouts. I find it tastes better than any protein shake I’ve tried, it’s whey (ha ha) cheaper and works just as well.
As for the links, no problem. Both of your journeys/sites are very inspiring and informative and I think more people need to read them.

Wow! I feel so honored to be on the list! I’m not sure I really qualify since mostly my site is a bunch of whining about just personal stuff, but maybe I’ll take this as a challenge and be more diligent about being healthy and talking about it.
By the way, I think the “http” is in there twice, so the link isn’t working.

Lorelei,
Don’t count yourself out so quickly. You have lost a lot of weight and I’m sure you have plenty to offer. Plus your main site is heart health related.
And yes I would take it as a challange:)
I fixed the link as well.
