If you want to lose weight and dread going to a group class or buying pre-packaged foods that taste like cardboard, consider changing your habits for long-term weight loss success. Here are the top tips you’ll need to follow to ensure that you get those pounds off for good:
1. Change your mindset. “D” is for diet or deprivation. You don’t need to diet, you just need to start eating a healthier diet. Think about all of the healthy foods you love and start looking for ways to incorporate them into your diet.
2. Give yourself a little slack. We all slip up from time to time. Maybe we made a wrong turn on the road and ended up going way out of our way. Or, maybe we forgot a loved one’s birthday. Get over it and get over your dietary or exercise mishaps. A cookie is just a cookie, let it go, move on and forge forward.
3. Eat several small meals a day. This will ensure you keep your energy levels high, metabolism cranking and you won’t be as likely to binge eat.
4. Plan ahead and bring food with you.
5. Eat at least one fruit or vegetable at every meal.
6. Make small changes versus cutting out certain food groups or foods.
7. Eat good quality protein at every meal and snack. To prevent a carbo-overload, eat protein with every meal or snack. Craving crackers or bread? Make that bread into a grilled cheese sandwich or top those crackers with some cheese or peanut butter. Protein will keep you full longer and help minimize wild blood sugar surges.
8. Take calcium and vitamin d supplements. New studies have shown more weight loss for those who are not deficient in calcium or vitamin D. Also, vitamin D has been linked to heart health during weight loss. Both are very important for bone and joint health needed for a continuous exercise program.
