9. Make Sure People Around You Know What Your Goals Are
- Don't read the label because it is what experts say you should do. Genuinely take interest in what you are eating beyond how it will impact your goals.
- Learn enough about what goes into the foods that you can create your own diet without blindly following a plan.
2. Realize That Not all Fats Are The Same
- Fats come in many forms, but are often lumped into one category... unhealthy. This is not true, we need fats for energy but some fats are better than others.
- Sat/Trans Fats - These should be only eaten in moderation. It's important to read the label here because more foods today are loaded with these two.
- Mono/Poly - These are the good fats. They are in fact good for you and will support your goals if you make sure to keep them a priority and limit or even cut out the sat/trans fats.
3. Stop Taking Supplements
- Supplements are often used as a crutch or a mechanism that allows an individual believe they are taking steps to be healthy. These products are meant only to add on to an already healthy diet. If you truly believed you were already healthy in your lifestyle, you wouldn't be taking supplements.
- The claims on the packaging are intended only to get you to buy them, realistically you probably won't receive any of the benefits it claims to provide.
- They are extremely expensive. You could by the freshest products from the grocery store with the money you save from not buying supplements.
4. Set Your Health Goals In A Tiered Fashion
- If you get out of breathe walking up the stairs then a marathon might be out of the question for the moment. You'll need to work up to the final goal.
- An example could be: walk for 30 minutes everyday until it's too easy, move up to walking with short running segments, try to run for extended distances, etc.
5. Buy A Juice Machine
- Which would you rather consume, a basket full of fruits and vegetables that would take a considerable amount of time to eat and leave you really full? Or a glass of juice with all the nutrients and vitamins as that same basket without the time spent eating it.
- A juice machine can greatly improve anyone's life if one or two glasses are prepared and consumed eat day in addition to normal meals.
6. Chose A Role Model And Aspire To Be Like Them
- This doesn't mean chose your thin neighbor who eats fast food all day. They are not an ideal role model.
- Chose someone who has already achieved what you wish to accomplish and talk to them if possible. See what worked for them and what didn't. See what mistakes they made and what they found worked well.
- Keep them in mind when making a decision that could affect your goals negatively. "Would she choose that for lunch if she was here?
7. Involve A Friend Who Is Attempting The Same Goals
- Humans are competitive in nature. You will have an extra push to force a change in yourself for the better because someone is trying to beat you to it!
- You'll have someone to compared challenges or triumphs with. Your partner will be able to appreciate even a minor change you made because they are going through the same thing.
8. Make Exercising Non-Negotiable
- Turn exercise into something that must be done. Not because it is a chore but rather because you will be disappointed in yourself if you fail to do so.
- Set aside a certain time of the day for exercise so you are not trying to squeeze it in.
9. Make Sure People Around You Know What Your Goals Are
- You will be more motivated to reach your goals if the people around you know what you are trying to do.
- Look forward to their complements and comments when you complete your goals. If there are any naysayers, keep them in mind and prove them wrong.
