Surefire Steps To Success
These four good habits will help you reach your goal weight far more
effectively than your former wrong strategies ever could:
1)
Keep a food diary.
It's easy to lose track of what you've eaten throughout the day, which
makes it much easier to eat too much and to eat the wrong things.
Writing everything down - meals and snacks - will help you make better
choices and increase your chance of success.
2)
Eat several small meals a day.
In addition to preventing intense hunger (you know, the type that makes
you eat three times what you normally would), eating often stabilises
your blood sugar.
3)
Eat five fruits and veggies a day.
This may involve a bit retraining and willpower, but try grabbing a
piece of fruit or some cut-up veggies for snacks instead of chips,
crackers or cookies. You'll get much needed fiber and decrease your
risk of a wealth of illnesses including diabetes, certain cancers and
heart disease. It probably goes without saying, but we'll still say it
- your calorie consumption will go down as well.
4)
Add a serving of exercise.
No weight loss or weight maintenance program is complete without
physical activity. The US Surgeon General's Office recommends at least
30 minutes of moderate activity a day. If that sounds daunting, break
it into 10-minute intervals of walking, climbing stairs, or biking to
the park with your kids.
