Before diving into some new diet or exercise routine, ask
yourself the following questions in order to help guide you towards the
ideal weight loss plan for you.
What will life on this plan be like?
Set yourself up for success with a plan that is doable for you, for instance if you love eating pastas and bread, do not force yourself to go on a low carb diet as it will only be a matter of time before you snap back to your old eating habits. With enough research, or the help from a nutritionist, you will find the eating plan that is ideal for you.
How many calories will I consume on a daily basis?
Some diets ask followers to adhere to strict daily calorie allotments. Be careful of these diets because your body needs enough nutrition in order to function normally. These extremely low calorie diets can leave you feeling physically drained and exhaust your willpower as a result. Rather choose an eating plan that is balanced with all the nutrients your body needs, but keep track of how much you consume in order to prevent overeating.
What type of foods will I be eating most often?
A sensible weight loss diet will involve plenty of vegetables and fruits, whole grains, lean protein, fat-free dairy, healthy fats and occasional snacks. Look at a week's worth of eating plans and ask yourself: "Can I see myself eating this for the rest of my life".
What exercise routine would form part of my exercise routine?
An exercise routine forms a very important part of any weight loss plan. Exercise is not only good for burning calories, but it helps to reduce stress and has countless other health benefits. There are many forms of exercise out there so don't force yourself to run if you hate it, rather look for another form of exercise that you enjoy like cycling, swimming or weight lifting.
Fall in love with the process of losing weight
In order for you to achieve long term weight loss success, you have to fall in love with the process of losing weight. In other words you must eat healthy because you like the way that it makes you feel and exercise because you like the rush of Endorphins and your generally increased energy levels. The first step to falling in love with the process of losing weight is to choose a weight loss plan that is ideal for you.
