Fit Tips You Can Live By... 1. You're So Dense...
Choose less dense foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats-they are low in calories and high in "bulk" and will make you feel fuller longer.
2. Fill It Up...
Grab a smaller plate. Your plate will look full and you'll eat less.
3. On the Edge...
Shop the perimeter of your grocery store first (fruits, vegetables, lean meats and seafood). Always eat as close to nature as possible. The less processed/preserved, the better. Save middle aisles for whole grain cereal and household products.
4. Be Clear About It...
Liquids dont satiate your cravings as much as real food. Drink liquids with no calories-water is best.
5. Keep on Movin'....
This doesn't just include exericse. This includes activities of daily living. The more you move, the more you burn.
6. Workouts Are Not A License to Pig Out...
Don't use exercise as an excuse to eat. Exercise accounts for maybe 300-500 calories per typical workout. So, combine exercise and diet for weight loss.
7. Every Little Bit Counts...So Make It Count...
People who exercise in short bouts will be more likely to stick with the program because its realistic. Fit your exercise in whenever you can, however you can.
8. Set Yourself Up For The Long Term...
Set your goals too high and you may be setting yourself up to fail. Small, steady, consistent steps.
9. Hey Buddy...
For many people, eating less and exercising more is easier if you don't do it alone. Surround yourself with people that share similar goals.
10. Think Healthy Lifestyle...Not Skinny Jeans...
Eat foods that help cut your risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes like berries, broccoli, nuts and seeds. Diet this, low-fat that and artificially sweetened foods may save you calories, but they're only cheating your body of the nutrition it needs to truly succeed and filling you with preservatives your body cannot process.
