The simple plan
The diet in a nutshell, get healthy slowly, change one thing at a time. Really sounds pretty simple right?
I bet
if you looked at one meal today you could improve it in some small way, say you had cereal for breakfast with milk. What kind
of cereal? was it whole grain? What kind of milk? Straight to low fat skim isn't neccessary but 2% or 1% is a good start.
How about your day? where did you park at the store or office? was it right next to the door? could you park maybe
half way next time? No need to make it a mile away, just stop looking for the 'perfect spot' (particuallaryly useful to reduce
stress at Christmastime, less stress = less hoarding of body fat internally).
How about your house? Can you skip
one comercial and make the bed? Burns double the calories, and good for a mood uplift whenever you walk in the bedroom (seratonin
keeps people motivated, lowers comfort food cravings in most)
Some things must have excersize, muscles will only
go so far when you take away surrounding fat (leave some for softness please, kids and spouses like it.) Since I hate excersize
I try to squeeze in some small changes, crunches or yoga poses while watching TV, wearing belly shirts and 'sucking it in'
whenever I notice my gut hanging out (when I was a teen I used to do that whenever I saw a cute guy Smile.)
Anything
that you look at in your life that could use some improvement will prolly help your weight in some way, from stress reduction
to mood lifters, to normal health switches. The happier and healthier your life, the happier and healthier your body. (which
isn't stick thin, but often thinner than Americas average)
