It's small food changes that make the difference, not crash
diets. Most people diet by crash dieting. Perhaps that's why 70% of our
population is overweight and obese. You lose the weight fast, then gain
it all back, plus some. This yo-yo dieting is very unhealthy and has
high risks of all types of diseases, including a 300% increased risk of
heart disease.
Over the years, I've been very successful at the principle of making the choice to be healthy. My clients learn to choose healthy foods. When you have choice, you have the ability to make changes, adjust, and enjoy life.
How do you get the most out of your choices?
Small, step-by-step changes that become easy, habit, and actually desired. It's how you actually keep the weight off long-term.
For example, we are all told to eat more vegetables. It's easy to say, hard to do. So, what if you started your diet by just including 3 servings of vegetables every day and take away nothing? Now, all you need is a snack of vegetables, a serving of vegetables at lunch and one at dinner.
You can plan this, and choose what you like. If you like carrots, eat carrots. I don't like Brussels sprouts except when they are very fresh. So, I only eat them once a year when they are very fresh. Never eat a food that disgusts you.
Once you establish the habit of eating 3 servings per day, you increase it. You build on the good foundation. Then, you will naturally push out the bad foods because you are satisfied, happy, and no longer crave the bad stuff.
See how easy that is?
The downside is it's not fast. You won't see 5 pounds of fat loss in a week.
What you do see a slow, steady decline that's easy to maintain, easy to do, and feels good. That's how you lose weight safely. That's how you get rid of disease.
If you have lots of weight to lose, choosing more fruits and vegetables may yield a faster weight loss, simply because your body no longer needs to hold onto the extra weight. You start to feel more energetic and lively because your body has the nutrients to support more energy.
Losing weight is not easy. It does require dedication, commitment, and follow-through. Making the small food changes makes the process easier and more enjoyable.
