1. Don’t eat to cure the blues - reaching for the biscuit tin because you feel stressed? The key to fat loss is recognizing your own triggers for emotional eating. If you want to eat, and you’re not hungry - stop and ask yourself ‘What is it I really want?” : Is it to feel less anxious, sad, stressed? If the answer is ‘Yes’, then you need to workout ways to deal with the situations that are causing you to feel anxious or depressed. Doing some exercise could help ease stress, or you might feel better if you call a friend to have a chat.
2. Carbs are plentiful and readily available but you don’t have to drastically reduce carbs. Choose the good kinds of natural carbs over the processed kinds - better yet, think fiber, not carbs. Focus on a high fiber fitness meals. The key is to focus your carb intake on fruits and vegetables, which are loaded with loads of nutrients, carbs and fiber!
3. In descending order just like a nutrition label, drink plenty of water, shoot for 2 grams of protein per kilograms based on your lean mass weight. If this is complicated use your realistic goal weight. And stop thinking all fat is enemy - it’s not. Get plenty of omega 3 fatty acids. You can try flaxseed - 1 tablespoon per 45 kg of lean mass body weight. However, avoid trans fat like the plague. Check the ingredient’s list and if the label says hydrogenated put it back on the shelf.
4. Change your habits in stages. Allow yourself plenty of time to make small changes to your eating habits, such as choosing reduce fat milk instead of full fat milk. When you’re comfortable with this, make another change. For example, snack on fresh fruit rather than biscuits. The same goes for activity. Gradually increase the intensity and the amount of physical activity you do each day. Find activities that you enjoy.
5. Don’t set unreasonable goals - you should have goals, but only when you can reach them. Setting high goals that are unrealistic will guarantee failure. Avoid goals like losing 20 pounds in a week - it’s just unrealistic, silly and gearing yourself to failure. The key is to plan a series of short term, step by step goals that are doable and will bring you closer to your ultimate goal. With most long term goals, you will more likely achieve more than you ever expected.
