13 Easy, No-nonsense Tips To Revitalize Your Weight-loss Diet
So here it is, mid-summer
So here it is, mid-summer. How are you doing on that diet resolution you made for the new year, way back in January?
Successful (and permanent) weight loss is, arguably, the most frequently made, and most frequently broken, personal improvement resolution. The struggle against powerful cravings, the wrench of changing a lifetime of comforting eating habits, can be daunting. It can defeat even the strongest will and the most earnest intentions.
These 13 quick-and-easy tips can help you win the struggle over the battle of the bulge and attain -- and sustain -- a healthy, attractive body.
SUCCESS TIPS
1. Write down your specific weight-loss goal (the number of pounds you want to lose, the size clothing you want to fit into), not just a general "lose weight" resolution.
2. Write down the date by which you intend to reach your goal, and set yourself intermediate weight-loss goals along the way. Review your goals daily. Keep a food journal and write down everything you eat each day.
3. Don't dwell on past failures. Remember and review prior successes you've worked for and achieved (in weight loss or any other area of your life).
4. Don't beat yourself up and abandon your weight-loss goal if (when) you make a slip. It happens to everyone. Pick yourself up and get back into your routine again.
5. Build in one small but significant weekly reward for yourself.
6. Keep close track of your progress. Don't give up and bail out if (when) you hit a plateau.
7. Plan your daily menus at least a day or two in advance (very important!), and stick to your plan. Avoid having to make last-minute choices, and winging it.
8. Never food-shop when you're feeling hungry.
9. Stock up on healthy, low calorie snacks, preferably veggies. Please avoid foods with artificial sweeteners and/or unpronounceable chemical additives.
10. Drink 1-2 glasses of filtered water before meals. (Squeeze some fresh lime or lemon juice into the water if you wish.)
11. Keep moving. Try to walk for 20-30 minutes at least five days a week.
12. Eat real food. Lots of greens and veggies, lean protein, some whole grains. Don't eat processed foods, sweets, sodas (diet sodas absolutely included in what not to drink). If you crave a soda treat, squeeze a lime into some seltzer or mineral water, add a few drops of liquid stevia (no chemical sweeteners!), and voila -- a satisfying diet soda! Cut way back on breads and pastas. Roll up your sandwich filling in some big leaves of romaine lettuce instead of in a wheat roll.
13. Try new targeted nutritionals that can aid and support weight loss, keep the pounds from sneaking back, and help your body get into and stay in great shape. YOUR MOST POWERFUL FRIEND -- OR FOE
A famous therapist often remarked that the strongest sex stimulant is the mind. In a way, the same can be said for dieting. Diet success or failure starts in the mind. If you diet to lose weight thinking that when you do, you can go back to eating pretty much the way you did before -- you'll certainly pack the pounds back on.
True diet success requires a simple but crucial mental shift: You need to think in terms of getting healthier and feeling better, not just losing weight and looking thinner. The reason is that the better you feel, the harder it will be to slip back into the old indulgent eating habits that truly can damage your health.
The greatest dish, the gooiest dessert, is pleasurable only as long as you're eating it. A healthier, more vibrant body is with you 24/7.
