So we thought we would lend a hand by giving you some timely reminders & pointers so as to help you avoid slipping into the typical traps!
1.
Set yourself realistic achievable goals & weekly weight loss targets,
don’t give in to the first hurdle of temptations. Treat each temptation
to cheat or quit as test of personal morality. Relish this opportunity of
taking control over your eating habits – treat your resolution as a challenge
and every time you reach a set goal, however big or small, make sure to give
yourself a well deserved reward.
2.
Start your day off on the right foot by eating a healthy breakfast of
fruit & oats with yoghurt. Or if its a cold brisk morning porridge is
always a good call at this time of year. Don’t forget to have plenty of
water throughout the day & avoid snacking on sweets and bad carbs such as
bread as much as possible.
3. Find
new ways of spicing up your healthy food recipes for lunch & dinner.
This will help keep food interesting & therefore motivate you to stay
away from bad habits such as climbing into the biscuit tin! Remember to
have bigger meals at the beginning of the day and more modest dinners to reduce
fat cells from building up overnight when you are sleeping.
4.
Alcoholic drinks have many calories however it is the type of food that
we are tempted to eat whilst drinking. This is the main root cause of
damage to our weight loss results. Try to drink as little alcohol during
the week as possible, eat light dinners in the evening and get to bed early to
give yourself the best rest possible to feel fresh & revived in the
morning.
5. Stay
active, find interesting things to do during your spare time. As its the
New Year there are lots of things happening whether your interests lie within
the arts, music, entertainment, travel, sport or other areas. Try to find
a creative avenue to put your talents & interests to good use. By
doing this you will increase your psychological well being & contentment
which will in turn also help to reduce hunger in itself!
