1. Create a food diary.
- Documenting what you eat on a daily basis can show you your progress and motivate you to make better choices for the days to come.
*Document everything you consume: water, food, juice etc. as well as serving sizes.
2. Document your physical activity.
- This allows you to establish a workout routine and even monitor your exercising so you can always switch it up to constantly challenge your muscles and boost your metabolism.
*My motto is breaking a sweat 5 times a week is good enough to get your metabolism working faster.
3. Give yourself 1-2 cheat days.
- Allow yourself a day or two to reward your hardwork. This will not only make you feel more accomplished but as if you are not restricting your favorite foods, just limiting them.
*I like saturdays and sundays as my cheat days because those are the days that most people go out to eat.
4. Use smaller portion sizes.
- By using smaller plates or bowls you are less likely to overeat and to have seconds.
*I pack a lunch for the following day the night before so that I am more likely to eat healthy and less likely to eat fast foods.
5. Only weigh yourself once a week.
- Make sure to weigh yourself once a week and always at the same time of day to properly monitor weight loss or gain.
*The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning without clothes on and after using the bathroom for your true weight.
**Most important thing is to make these dietary choices a lifestyle and not a "diet" because if you can do that it wont be a chore that can better your weight and ultimately your health.
Most of the people aren't extract control over their overwhelmed habit which is also cause of weight gain. I have already made nutritious foods dairy before the new year because i want to prevent my health from critical disease began with new year.
