Don't Diet



Fad diets pride themselves on how easy they can be and how much more fat they burn than any diet before. It's true that dieting isn't that difficult, but the changes initially can be overwhelming.

If you want to lose weight, you should stick to long term health habits. Otherwise you end up following the pattern:

Get Chubby --> Diet --> Repeat

It becomes and endless cycle and you'll need 2 wardrobes on depending on what part of the cycle you are in. Imagine buying two completely different wardrobes!

The key is to make small changes that you can commit do weekly. Start small and gradually develop habits that will promote long term weight management (more on this tomorrow). Below are some simple examples of changes you can try to make each week:

-Make water your main beverage and stop drinking all calorie containing beverages or diet drinks
-Add vegetables to each meal
-Don't skip breakfast

This list is a mile long and these are some of the more obvious changes we wanted to let you know about, but there are many more you wouldn't believe!

Start small, develop habits, and reap the benefits!
