10
Strategies For Weight Loss
1.
Keep a food journal- become more
aware of healthy food choices and evaluate
your current eating habits.
2.
Pay attention to hunger cues- before
you eat, decide if you are really hungry
or are you bored or stressed.
3.
Avoid portion distortion- become
familiar with appropriate portion sizes
to keep consumption under control.
4.
Start your day right- eat a good
breakfast that includes protein, whole
grain and fruit.
5.
Have a snack attack- regular snacks
keep metabolism and blood sugar consistent
and reduces fat storage.
6.
Take your time- eat slowly to allow
your brain to communicate with your
body to detect satisfaction (it can
take 20 minutes).
7.
Make exercise a part of your regular
routine- the best combination of
exercise and healthy eating yield the
best long term results.
8.
Don't be a slave to the scale- weigh
yourself once a week and don't be discouraged
by day to day weight fluctuations.
9.
Remember to indulge- allow yourself
the occasional guilt-free treat so you
don't feel deprived.
10.
Don't view weight loss as all or nothing-
the purpose of this plan is to improve
your overall health, not just lose weight
in the short term.
