It New Year’s time again and all you see and hear about is diets and gym memberships. I would like to focus on the diet aspect. Lose weight quick diet’s accomplish nothing for a person in the long term aspect. Sure they sound great, inspire, and some even achieve what they said they would, but after the diet is over the bad habits continue and the weight slowly begins to creep back up. This failure is due to the fact that diets result in too many changes at once for a person and doesn’t allow them to pin point their nutrition problem areas.
What I suggest to my clients is you attack one aspect of your diet that they know is a bad habit. Research has shown that it takes 21 days to adapt a new habit, so, I always require that my clients focus for one month on substituting or eliminating one negative aspect in their everyday diet. This allows them to focus on one thing at a time and not be overwhelmed with cravings. If you follow this routine for one year that’s 12 dietary improvements which is more than what most people accomplish in a lifetime.
Some examples of dietary mistakes to get you started are:
· Too much cheese
· Soda and Sugar Drinks
· Too many carb’s
· Creamy Dressing’s
