Eating out or taking away food is difficult if you want to lose weight and therefore keep the number of calories under control. However, you can still eat at the Chinese, Italian or snack bar. Consciously choose only fries with ketchup instead of an entire menu. Or have lasagna instead of pizza in a pizzeria. Or just say I’ll eat a little less this afternoon, because tonight I want that pancake with cheese. Choose consciously based on this list. If you count your calories, you can lose weight and still eat your favorite foods. Losing weight by counting calories is actually the basis of any diet . Because you take in fewer calories than you consume, you lose weight. You can use these lists to create your own diet.
