If you want to lose weight and keep it off you have to learn how to live healthy. Most of gain us weight because we are so busy we don’t make the time to take good care of ourselves. We get engrossed in commitments to our jobs and children and don’t stop to consider that maintaining our weight is part of maintaining ourselves.

Every program requires prior planning. You will need to schedule time for workouts, eating, sleeping. Most request you come up with a worksheet to monitor your progress. Don’t ignore this! Set small goals, and don’t forget to pat yourself on the back when you reach each one! It’s good for the ego, and your ability to stick to the program when you can prove to yourself that the steps you are taking are actually working.

Make the decision to make the change:

1. Incorporate a simple exercise routine in your schedule, something like walking. When you are not an active person doing an exercise like walking will burn calories quickly and burning calories is what you want to do.

2. Eating healthy is one of the hardest things to do when you are used to eating junk food everyday. I equate this to being hook on drugs because when you try to stop eating junk food your body goes into withdrawal. And when those cravings hits you give in and eat and you eat like you never had junk food before. This is important eaten more often, if you eat six times a day you can curb your appetite. Eating a low protein diet will also help you burn. Be very mindful of your portions.

It is not difficult to have a healthier lifestyle. However, you have to stick to all the dieting plans and exercises routines otherwise you will not be successful!
