How To Get Slim With Healthy Eating Habits
by Ruth Hinson
.How soon after eating do I get hungry again? Most adults
get hungry about 3 to 4 hours after eating a meal.
.Do I eat only when I'm hungry? Hint: You should.
.How can I stay full? Drink lots of water. Scientists
recommend between 6 and 8 glasses of water daily.
Your body needs it, and it helps you stay full.
With the answers to those questions in mind, form an action plan,
and start a new daily record to help you keep track of your
progress. This new record should contain the same columns as your
initial current habits record. This way you can monitor each
improvement and celebrate accordingly.
When deciding on which actions to take, you need to refer back to
your initial assessment of your current eating habits. Decide
which habits are preventing you from losing weight. Write down
alternative habits that you want to cultivate, which will
help you get slim.
These new habits you want to form are now your ‘targets' -
milestones on your way to your ideal body shape and size.
Taking Action
=============
To form healthy eating habits, start with small changes.
Don't make too many changes at once. Set yourself main
targets, such as ‘I will drink 8 glasses of water each day',
then set smaller targets to help you reach each main target.
Using the example above, a small target could be ‘I will drink
an extra glass of water after each meal'. When you break down
your targets, they don't seem so daunting. They seem easily
achievable, so you feel encouraged to stick to them.
Decide on the foods you will be eating regularly. Make sure
they're foods you enjoy.
Eat small portions, about 5 or 6 times each day, instead
of three large meals. This helps keep your metabolic rate
high, and helps you lose weight naturally.
How to stay motivated to continue eating healthily
==================================================
1.Believe that you can do it, and accept responsibility
for your health and for the way your body looks.
2.Reward yourself each time you successfully complete a
small target. Celebrate each small success - don't wait
until you've lost tons of weight before you reward
yourself. Make the journey enjoyable by treating yourself
each time you make progress.
3.Keep in mind what you hope to achieve - remind yourself of
how lovely and healthy your body is becoming each day as a
result of your new eating habits. Remember, each small
step in the right direction is bringing you closer to
your main target.
With a clear goal in mind, a feasible action plan and tips to
help you stay motivated, you should find it easy to form habits
that keep you slim and healthy at the same time.
Here's to your new healthy eating habits!
