8. Replace “Bad” with “Good” food – This is a slightly different twist on the earlier advice on replacing bad addictions / habits with good. Since some food replacements are a matter of expense, and since you might be preparing food for a family rather than just one or two people, you can not always just reupholster your eating whole program at home.
But you can make some changes without too much extra expense, changes that will Affect your health, vibrancy and weight for the better. For example, replace white breads with whole grain, simple carbs with more complex ones, red meat with fish.
Even if you do not replace ALL your bad foods with good foods, make purposeful changes. For example, decide to have one night a week fish rather than meat network. Weight loss is a journey, where every step counts. So take one step in the right direction!
9. Prepare for Emergency Situations – They happen all the time. Once you start a weight-loss journey in earnest, you’ll see just what I mean. Every day, sometimes every hour it seems, something will try to sabotage your attempts to eat more healthfully and lose weight! The best way to avoid these pitfalls is to think through them and have an emergency plan.
4. Groove and Move – Some people are more sedentary than other people, just by preference. Maybe you love hiking and mountain trekking. Or maybe your favorite idea of fun is just to curl up on the couch and read a book. Whatever your preference, you can certainly find some kind of movement you enjoy.
