The Weight Slasher > Do's and Don'ts of Dieting
Read these top weight-loss do's and don'ts based on the experience of others.
Do...
1) Choose healthy nutritious foods from all the food groups to ensure you get all the nutrients and vitamins your body needs
2) Exercise - if you want to lose weight the only healthy option is to burn off excess calories through increased activity
3) Monitor your progress by keeping a record of what you eat, weighing yourself once a week in order to keep yourself motivated
4) Eat breakfast every morning
5) Take a multi vitamin supplement that gives you 100% of RDA
6) Drink at least 6 glasses of water every day
7) Eat plenty of vegetables, fruit, whole grains and non or low-fat dairy products.
8) Learn positive strategies to avoid comfort eating
9) Eat food that is healthy and satisfying - while for some this could be chicken for others this is a baked potato.
10) Benefit from the experience of other people. There are plenty of tips and strategies around from those who struggled and succeeded in losing the pounds.
Don't....
1) Forget to count the calories - the only sure fire way to lose weight is to eat less calories and to exercise the excess away
2) Follow the latest fad diet - by learning new healthy habits and sticking to them you can reach and maintain a healthy weight.
3) Damage your health in return for a few lost pounds. Crash diets deprive you of essential foods and are not worth the risk you pose to your health and well-being.
4) Feel alone - Get support from others, friends family or weight loss groups.
5) Be obsessive - To be successful in weight loss you need to learn the skill of flexible restraint - you do need to limit what you eat but in a way that is compatible with day-to-day living
6) Drink calories, eat them. Ultimately solid food gives greater satisfaction
7) Let others dictate what is the right thing for you because you need to lose weight for yourself, in your own way and at your own pace.
8) Set yourself unrealistic goals. Aim for an initial weight loss of around 10% of your current body weight and a weekly loss of between 1-2 pounds
9) Let yourself get distracted. Losing weight is an ongoing process and takes time. Its important to recommit yourself to the process on a regular basis.
Always seek medical advice before you try to lose wieght
