The ultimate tip to look your best in 2017 and thereafter: Do not go on a diet, change your diet! That’s tested and fail-safe advice. Ditch fad diets. They usually only offer temporary weight loss followed by weight gain. That being said, these strategies will jumpstart a healthier slimmer you. Another plus, you can use them rather dining in or out.
1. Drink water. Forgo sugary beverages and keep alcohol to a minimum.
2. Opt for green vegetables and broiled, grilled or baked lean cuts of meat. Limit
starchy sides such as rice, potatoes and pasta and fried foods.
3. Keep healthy snacks on-hand. Low carbohydrates snacks such as nuts,
peanut butter, cheese, a protein bar or greek yogurt are better options. Store a few in
the glove compartment, desk drawer, purse, golf bag or briefcase.
4. Avoid skipping meals. It is always best to pack your own foods. For back up, identify
restaurants nearby that support your goal to eat healthier.
5. Pass on the bread and desserts. Eat fresh fruit or drink coffee to top off a meal. If
you are really craving something sweet, split a dessert. Bottomline, only eat half.
Ready to take on the challenge? I knew you would be. If you are consistent with above plan, you will achieve your weight loss goals. It will not happen overnight, but a healthier version of you will definitely be in the forecast.
Alright, I won’t keep you any longer. I will let you get back to life as I need to do the same. Remember, the key is not to go on a diet, change your diet! I am looking forward to sharing more transformational prescriptions to make you the champion of your own health, healing and happiness.
Goodbye and thanks for spending time with me.
