How to Lose Weight by Eating Fish & Chicken

Eating chicken is an excellent way to lose weight.

Cutting fatty foods and other high-calorie junk food from your diet and eating healthy options such as fish and chicken instead is an excellent way to lose weight. Fish and chicken are not only low in fat, but they also contain a lot of protein, which is important for muscle building. By eating fish and chicken, you are consuming less fat, which means your body will store less fat, too. There are dozens of ways to prepare fish and chicken, so you will never get bored of eating the same type of food.

Instructions

1. Remove all skin from the chicken if you want to prepare wings, thighs or a whole chicken. Most fat is stored under the skin.

2. Eat salmon, tuna and sardines, which are low-fat fish types at least three times a week Choose fish that have been farmed using environmentally methods. Avoid fish that are on the endangered species list. You can find the necessary information on the fish packaging.

3. Prepare the chicken or fish with low-fat dressings and serve it with sides like rice and boiled potatoes instead of fries.

4. Steam cook the fish and chicken. Never deep-fry or use lard or other types of animal fat for cooking.

5. Eat five times a day and limit your food portions. A healthy portion of chicken is half a chicken breast, a chicken leg and thigh with the skin removed, or 3/4 cup of flaked fish. Do not eat snacks between meals.

Tips & Warnings

• Rotate fish and chicken menus on a daily basis, so if you eat chicken on Monday then eat fish on Tuesday. Keep strictly to a healthy diet and stop eating snacks like biscuits and chocolate. Drink water instead of sodas and other sweetened beverages.
