Spring is almost upon us and before you know it summer will be here. After all that winter eating the last thing you want to do is sit on the beach feeling uncomfortable. Did you know that there was a time in the world when the notion of loosing weight was non existent? In those days people engaged in a lot more physical activity. Today we lead more sedentary lifestyles. We drive to work, we sit at our desks for eight hours after which time we drive home, watch tv and got to bed.

Based on your observations create a menu for each week of the month. This way you vary your food throughout the month and then just rotate for the following month. Always be on the look out for new variations and tastes to introduce to your monthly diet. You do not have to starve yourself. What you need to do is eat more of the right foods.
