Be very wary of fad or celebrity diets that restrict or remove food groups or types from your diet. To be healthy you require well balanced meals each and every day. So you will have to include lean meats, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, and grains. (these can be in the form of breads, cereal etc)

By doing this and making sure you include enough low glycemic index foods like proteins you will ensure you don’t feel hungry through the day. This is of course a great benefit as you don’t feel like snacking during the day.

The mistake of restricting foods or skipping meals will mean you’ll tend to binge later on in the day. So you win at the start but lose later in your fat loss goal.

A good help for you is to keep a diary of what you eat as well as how you are feeling as regards your hunger. This will quickly show any patterns to your eating and diet control.

If you’ve been eating a bad diet for a while you may think it is hopeless to try and change. Yet all you need to be is dedicated to making some changes. These small changes… one per week will change your lifestyle of eating and soon you’ll be looking and feeling much better.

Parties are where you can fall off your fat loss campaign. They are also major source of peer pressure, especially with alcohol and high calorie, high fat, foods everywhere.

What you need to remember is that alcohol contains hundreds of empty calories in just one drink. So even if you aren’t snacking on those high calorie nibbles you are still making it hard on yourself to continue losing weight.

When at a party, people might be pressuring you to have a good time, to drink and relax. After all… that is what parties are for and it can be difficult to stay strong and say no to the peer pressure.

One way that you could possibly get around this is to offer to drive to the party instead. This way, you’re nominating yourself as the designated driver. Your friends won’t want you to drink and probably they’ll be purchasing you waters and maybe even helping to pay for your gas.

It’s a win-win situation for everyone.

Baby showers, weddings, birthday parties, and other special events can all wreak havoc on your fat loss regime. So… even if you can easily resist temptation when by yourself it’s hard when someone’s pushing cake into your hand and they won’t take no for an answer.

Perhaps it’s time to tell a small fib. Maybe you could say that your stomach is a little upset so you don’t want to eat at the moment. Another one could be to pretend to have
a chocolate allergy. Little things like this will help you remain un-hassled if just telling the truth doesn’t work.

Remember… the people pressuring you are probably doing it out of misplaced concern for you. They just want you to have a good time. By being polite and letting them know you will only feel worse if you do indulge you can survive many a party and continue to lose weight.

If you know there will be no good foods for you at a party take along a health snack to nibble on so you aren’t tempted to indulge.

There are a number of myths promoted by weight loss companies which need to be dispelled.

1/You need to spend endless hours in the gym. For most of us this is totally impractical.
2/ You need to cut out all fat and carbohydrates from your diet.

These two myths alone are responsible for more failures in weight loss than I can count.

Take the first myth, exercise. Yes it is good for you… but just climbing the stairs or parking your car just a little further away and walking the rest is all you really need.

It is better for you to eat the right combination of foods as these will boost your metabolism and you will actually burn fat while feeding your body.

Myth number two.

All carbs and fats are bad for you.  Wrong, wrong, wrong! You need good carbs for your body to function at its proper rate. Good, non processed carbs are a life saver yet they have been lumped in with all the not so good processed carbs and labelled as bad for you.

Fats are another group badly labelled. Yes many fats do fall into the bad category and these are mostly the processed fats and trans fats. I bet you didn’t know that many people simply cannot lose weight unless they eat fats… usually up to 20% of their calorie requirement each day.

So don’t just accept what you read. Inform yourself and rid yourself of excess fat now.
