Every year Americans spend more money on diet and weight loss aids yet, research shows, every year we get fatter! Something is not working. So let's stop doing it. Stop spending money on every new weight loss remedy. Stop eating low-fat, low-carb, sugar-free and so on. None of this is calorie-free.
Stop saying you'll exercise tomorrow. Get back to basics, start at the beginning, do the things that actually work. Eat to fuel your body and EXERCISE!
Add 20-30 minutes of exercise to your day. Simply walk away from your house for 10 and then 10 minutes back and you have just done 20 minutes of calorie-burning aerobic training. Or, if you are really pressed for time in the morning, on your lunch break, do the 10 and 10, you pobably won't even break a sweat.
Reduce your food intake; eat less at every meal. At home, prepare a moderately sized portion of protein and vegetables and maybe a little soup or a salad. At a restaurant – plan to take some home! Ask the waiter for a take-away container when you order. Make a habit of taking part of your meal home.
Keep in mind, it takes 27 days to change a habit, give yourself time!
