Dieting Tips

With the new year here many of us will be wanting to make changes in our lives. Perhaps one of those changes on the list is to loose a bit of weight. I learned that at times it is not what you eat but how much you eat. At other times it is not how much you are eating but what you are eating. The healthy way to eat should include foods you enjoy as well as healthy, not processed foods. Non processed foods include fruits, veggies, whole grains, low fat dairy, lean meats, seafood, beans and nuts.

Change is hard and any change can be hard so go slow and take your time. Remember you are trying to make changes for a life time. The tips and tricks you learn while losing weight should be ones that you can adapt into your lifestyle. By making a life style change you should be able to keep the weight off once you lose it. Remember, do not make yourself unrealistic goals dreaming about all the weight you need to take off. Make milestone goals that can be reached and by reaching these goals you should feel better about yourself.

Reward yourself just a bit for making your milestone goals. If you do not make your goal don't be hard on yourself. Recall that tomorrow is only a day away and that you have time to make up for any missed days. Having a friend or buddy to help keep you honest about your diet is a good idea as well. Regardless of buddy or not keep a diary or document what you eat, your exercise and weight this will help you look back on what you achieve as well as keep you honest

Keep your head up and know that you can achieve your goals. It may take some time and at times seem like it is impossible but keep your work up and slowly but surely you will get there
