The Aphrodite Way To

Weight loss

 

So what can you do help you lose weight and keep it off?

 

Here are a few tips that could help you on your journey to losing weight.

Remember the Key to successfully and maintain that weight loss we need to make lifestyle changes that result in better habits and more positive thinking.

So how can we achieve that? Well, first of all we need to change our thinking.

The way we think about food and why we think about food is extremely important.

Follow this few tips to make it easier to achieve your goals.

1] Set yourself realistic weight loss goals, healthy weight loss is between 2 to 4lbs per week. If you set yourself unrealistic goals then you are setting yourself up to Fail!

2] Be committed! You need to realise that you want to lose weight for you, not your partner, not your family, not your friends, FOR YOU.

3] Be prepared to change your behaviors and habits regarding eating. You cannot go on eating the way you were before. Remember without change there is NO change.

4] THINK! Often we eat because we THINK we should eat not because our bodies need to eat.

5] Remember that eating unwanted food will NOT solve ANY of your problems, it only makes them worse!

6] When you think you are hungry or need to eat, ask yourself is this true? 9 times out of 10 it will NOT be true so CHANGE THAT THOUGHT.

7] Listen to the signals that your body is sending. Overweight people often miss the signal the body is sending to the brain telling them when they are full!

8] Eat slowly, chew every mouthful, enjoy the flavor and the texture of food.

9] Remember you eat with your eyes, so serve portions on smaller plates. This will give you the illusion of a full plate, and so encourage you to eat smaller portions.

10] Put down your knife and fork between mouthfuls.

11] Don’t drink while eating. This flushes food through the system more quickly and stops us feeling full.

12] Drink Zero calorie drinks, or better still fresh WATER.

13] When someone tries to force food on you remember it will not be them that will gain the weight.

14] Don’t be afraid of wasting food when you are full, if you over eat it will end up around your waist anyway! So waste the food in the bin not around your waist. The difference is that all that waste food is not going on your waist.

15] Keep a food diary and note down what, when and why you eat.

16] Recognise what your triggers are, what is that triggers you to go and eat. Once you have identified your triggers you can change your reactions to them.

And finally remember

If you cheat you are only cheating yourself.

No one else is going to put the weight on for you.
