15 Weight Loss Tips for Everyone!
I got these tips from the Dietwatch site..... there are actually 30 tips, but i missed the second half of the mail that they were in.... if anyone can email me with them, I would be very grateful, thanx!!
So here they are, fifteen pearls of wisdom that you may or may not have already heard :-
1. Drink Water.
2. Increase the amount of your body movement.
Get going. I don't mean kill yourself. I mean if you walk to the mailbox,
then walk a bit past it.
3. Start a routine. Get into the habit of doing
the same healthy things each day
4. Eat only at the table where ever you go.
5. Learn to say No, for at least 10 minutes
before eating & most importantly, when you are not hungry.
6. Write down your goals. Make them reasonable
and think only 10 lbs at a time. If you have to lose 80 think in 10's this
gives you a win at the end of each month.
7. Cut down on fat, keep it to less than 30
percent, somewhere around 25 percent is nice.
8. Increase your fiber, beans, veggies, fruits,
whole wheat, bran and oatmeal are good sources.
9. Learn how to calculate fat grams. Fat is
9 calories per gram. Multiply the amount of grams times 9.
10. Eat at the table only, no more snacking
at the television. Keep busy crocheting, knitting, or for guys........ well,
go fix the car or something!
11. Substitute ways of cooking food. Bake,
broil and boil.
12. Quit cooking for an army. Left-overs are
killers
13. Get rid of treats in the house. If the
kids must have them, fine, buy stuff you don't like and they do.
14. Ask the family for support or join a support
group.
15. Pat yourself on the back for good days,
and don't be mean to yourself on bad days - On
a bad day, STOP, drink water and say that is enough. Continue with your
good habits, don't put off til tomorrow what you can do today.
- So there Ya go!! Hopefully this space will get filled by the other, missing fifteen tips, but I will have to wait for it to come to me, as i cant find it anywhere!
