Mind Body Excellence Blog

You have tried over and over again to lose weight and nothing seems to be working.  What can you do?  Try the following stategies:

• Keep a “weight loss” journal.
• Your weekly goal should be 1/2 -2lbs. If you lose just a 1/2lb each week, you will have lost 24lbs in one year. How great is that?
• Realize that it’s a lifestyle change and not a quick fix.
• Exercise-30-60 minutes a day.
•  Pick one “cheat day” each week. Avoid eating junk foods the rest of the week (cakes, candy, chips, soft drinks, ice cream,  alcohol, etc.)
• Drink plenty of water
• Eat small portions
• Eat slowly
• Use a smaller plate than what you normally use when you eat. Don’t go back for seconds.
• Attend support groups
• Make vegetables, legumes, fruits, and whole grains the major part of your meals.

 Nothing in life comes without hard work. Set your sights on your weight lose goal and never look back. Celebrate when you cross the finish line.

 Always seek approval from your physician before starting any nutritional program.
