Okay, here we go:
Tips to take your diet to a fitting finale:
1. Make a diet plan. Instead of wasting your time reading blogs or watching idiotic personal movies on sites such as YouTube.com, sit down and write a detailed plan about foods that are good for you, foods that agree with your body and foods that you enjoy the most. Get to know their calories and eliminate the foods that have high calorific content.
2. Reinforce your mind with steel. Know why you eat and hammer it in your head that you eat to survive, not to party. Ingrain, absorb and chew on this thought it will help you become stronger mentally and help you avoid all kinds of junk and just one more foods.
3. Do not touch fat foods or drinks: For example, Mayonnaise has enough calories to fill even your saliva with fat avoid it. Avoid alcohol; Avoid junk food; Avoid carbonated beverages even the diet variety because they are loaded with sugar. Read food labels carefully and dont buy anything with a lot of fat content. Avoid extra sugar and sweets intake remember, even sugar-substitutes, such as honey, are fat givers. Avoid restaurant food its rich, sauced, creamy and waiting to inject fat cells into you.
4. Gather with a support group of dieters and diet along with them. Being in a group can help your diet cause.
5. Avoid frying your food instead bake, broil or roast your food. Dont forget to remove fat from your meat before baking, broiling or roasting it.
6. Eat less and eat more often. Break up your meals into small portions and have them 45 times a day (not 1015 times). Schedule your eating times and remember not to eat just before going to bed because all that food you just ate will get converted to fat because sleep will make you inactive, thereby preventing the burning of fat.
7. Drink loads of water everyday, about 8 glasses daily. Water is like a flush system the water pressure forces out the wastes in your body and keeps your internals in good, clean shape.
8. Chew your food slowly and eat it with leisure never hurry through your meals and swallow food instead of chomping hard on it.
9. EXERCISE! You need to exercise whether youre on a diet or not, its that important. Exercise pumps up your metabolic rate and, in turn, your metabolism burns up your fat faster.
10. Never ever starve yourself while on a diet as starvation plays havoc with your body because your intestines keep secreting acids and theres no food to absorb them, so the acids go back into the intestines and spoil its lining.
These were our top 10 tips on making your diet a huge success. Follow them and show patience and perseverance because youre not going to lose weight overnight its going to take at least a few weeks for the first signs of fat-loss to show up. Monitor yourself weekly and, well, happy dieting!
