Fit Fat Loss

Here’s a good idea: look and feel healthier by losing just a few pounds. It is often less work than you think. A good place to start is to make a written promise to lose 10 pounds. It should be attainable by looking at your eating habits.

Your eating habits are the big picture and what you do about them can impact some permanent changes in your weight.

Now, what might come to mind is the word -diet-. It is one of the primary factors of your overall weight, so it is not to be overlooked.

For some people, it is possible to lose 10 pounds quickly by really being strict with the food and intensifying the exercise. The problem is, that makes it hard to stick with the effort to lose weight;

Stray, and those 10 pounds are going to come back – quickly!

Instead, adjust your eating habits. While it may take a little longer to lose the weight, the weight loss is far more likely to stay off. So, as you eat, especially if it is not one of the planned meals, stop and think about it… are you actually hungry? Or are you eating out of habit… in front of the TV, at the computer, while doing paperwork…? In a similar manner, at a planned meal, what is the serving size? Are you eating the same amount of food at the same time each day, even if you are not all that hungry?

The stomach tells you when you‘re hungry and it tells you when you‘re full!

So, to lose weight, not only listen a bit better to your body, but anticipate that you will soon be full – stop eating sooner. Put a little bit less on your plate. We get stuffed because we don’t anticipate, or worse, we ignore the signal our stomach sends us.

Even do this – make an attempt to eat your food more slowly; savor and enjoy it – there really is something beneficial about chewing your food well. I found it really helped my digestion and indigestion.

Changing your eating habits is one of the most effective and easiest ways to keep that promise to lose 10 pounds. There’s an expression that I don’t necessary like, but I’ll use it anyway, it is somewhat appropriate: Eat to survive, don’t survive to eat.

Following these guidelines will help you to change your eating habits, even permanently, once you begin to see results, and more importantly… that 10 pounds?…, it will be gone!

TIP: are you a regular soda drinker? Do as I did. I had the habit of drinking a 12 ounce soda every day. To change, I promised myself to have soda only on weekends. It was a very easy change that allowed me to cut about 700 calories a week. My next goal? Eliminate soda from my diet.

REMINDER: cut 3,000 calories from the average person’s weekly diet to realize a 1-pound weight loss
