DIET TIPS
Remember that starting your diet is the hardest part and it does get
easier after that. You know the saying: "Objects in motion tend to stay
in motion, objects at rest tend to stay at rest." This applies to
dieting as well. Once you build up a little momentum and start living
healthier, you'll automatically start making healthier decisions.
Use mustard
on all your sandwiches instead of mayonnaise. Mustard has
no fat
and very little calories while Mayo, on the other hand, is loaded
with fat.
Never
say you're going to start your diet
"tomorrow." Instead,
set an actual date on the calendar and address that date as the day
you will start your diet. It's important that you be as specific as
possible and when you use a general term such as "tomorrow", you're
really not defining your goal properly. If you say you're going to
start your diet on the "15th", you've clearly defined your start
date and when the 15th comes around, you know it's time for action.
When
you're setting a diet goal, tell that one person who would make sure
to
“rub-it-in”
if you failed. By doing this, you put yourself in a position of
“I’d
better do this or I’m never going to hear the end of it.”
By putting yourself out on a limb, you expose yourself to a
potentially embarrassing situation, but now you have given yourself
a major reason why you have to lose the weight. It’s amazing what
humans can do when there’s no backing out.
An
important first step, when starting a diet, is to get on the scale,
see what you weigh now, and then define your goal weight. You will
know where you are now and where you want to be. Then, the only
challenge is filling in the middle, but it's important to define the
journey before you take on the challenge.
Improving
your heath is one of the best things you can do for yourself, yet so
many people put it as such a low priority in their lives. Your body
is the temple for your spirit. Everywhere you go and everything you
do can be improved by living a healthy lifestyle. Making money is
important, but you don't want to be the richest person in the
graveyard.
Nothing is
more important than improving your health.
Walking
is one of the
best
exercises
we can do! Look at your life and see if more walking can be
inserted. For example: If you're going to 2 different stores in
close proximity of each other, park in the middle and walk to both
as opposed to driving to one and then driving to the other. Another
example is to take the stairs instead of the elevator. The point is:
there are many little choices throughout the day that can add up to
a very healthy lifestyle.
If you
haven't done so already, switch to diet soft drinks. An average 12
Oz can of regular soda contains around 120 calories, while the diet
version usually has one or zero. If you drink 3 cans a day, you'll
be saving 360 calories right there. Now multiply that by 7 days a
week, 30 days a month and 365 days a year... You'll be saving a lot
of calories!
We’re
all looking for the easy way out, but 48-hour
“miracle
diets”
are a waste of time and money. These products work by dehydrating
your body and as soon as you return to normal food, you’ll have all
of the weight back, usually before 48 hours.
Hiring
a personal fitness trainer is an excellent way to lose weight. Not
only will they help you exercise properly and eat better, but just
having someone watch over you is often enough to be the difference
for some people.
