What five tips do you have for other dieters? Tip 1: Dont make it a diet because it will backfire on you. Instead, make this a lifelong, healthy lifestyle change. A diet is something you do for a certain period of time and then you drop it, and obviously that doesnt work and it will make you miserable. Instead, make this a choice about living healthy and happy for the rest of your life. Tip 2: This is not a race! This is a journey. In todays society, we are always looking for instant microwave gratification, but that doesnt work when it comes to your weight loss journey. This is about learning what works for you. Its a learning process. Youre getting your PhD on a better you, so know that it isnt going to happen overnight. It’s a gradual process. Changing what you eat is a gradual process. Incorporating more exercise into your day is a gradual process. Be kind to yourself, your body and mind will thank you. Tip 3: Mistakes and bad days are good! Its part of the learning process. When we have bad days, we need to not beat ourselves up about it. Instead, make it a learning experience. Understand the reasons why you had a bad day and make steps to try to avoid having more of those bad days. Its all part of the journey. Tip 4: Eat clean. Try to incorporate quality foods like fresh vegetables and fruits into every meal or snack you have. The more of these foods you have, the less room youll have for the processed, sugar-laden foods that do nothing for your body other than make you hungrier. Tip 5: Listen to your body. I cant express how important it is to listen to your body. In the beginning, it may be difficult to understand what it means to really listen to your body, but once you start feeding your body what it needs and giving it the right amount of water, then you will know what it means to listen to your body. There may be days youre not hungry and there may be other days that youre starving. Your body will let you know what it needs: fresh vegetables, fruit, healthy proteins and fats, and water...lots and lots of water.
