Diet Tips - The Top Seven Keys To Success In Dieting

By Errika Miller

Many marketers today sell programs that promise you seven pounds can be lost in three days or you can eat whatever you want and loose weight. While these programs may work for a week or two, what’s next? Will you still remain eating unhealthy and putting yourself at risk for several body diseases (heart disease, renal failure, high blood pressure, high cholesterol)? If that’s what you want than go right ahead. Finding a diet that works for a week or two is simple.

The challenge comes in when those weeks turn into months and you must maintain the weight.

The ideal measure to take is choosing a diet that you can build on for a lifetime. Listed below are several success tips to dieting and maintenance in weight.

The Top Seven Keys to Success in Diet include:

1.It’s a great idea to begin self monitoring your behavior through a log or journal. This way you can easily keep track of the foods eaten and exercise for the day. Also, this will enhance your self awareness of where you stand in your daily diet regimen. Many of us eat throughout the day not even realizing if we have exceeded or gone below our desired caloric intake.

2.Find a friend or work associate to join you for support. It’s so much easier when others around you have similar goals.

3.Make a list of long and short term goals and review them daily for encouragement.

4.Buy something such as a dress or a pair of jeans that are two or three sizes smaller. When you’re looking to see if making any improvement try them on.

5.Practice positive stress management techniques daily. Stress is a primary factor in elapse and relapses.

6.Expect setbacks. Many people give up after only a few days of not loosing those unwanted pounds. Be patient! As long as you are following your plan, eating healthy, and exercising than give it time.

7.Have fun; don’t let the change become an obsession. Try to maintain a sense of humor.

It is essential to have a goal that is defined in order to successfully modify your diet. Too many times we have all selected goals that were too broad and never really had a set goal. Goals are more easily met when they are precise, they can be measured, achievable, have a reward, and are time defined. My suggestion to you is before you began your diet, write on a piece of paper your goal to be accomplished, the time frame that you want it done, your reward if any, and be specific.
