Follow our "10 Best Diet Tips" to lose weight,
improve your nutrition and help stay slim forever.
1. Set multiple goals: Instead of setting an
intimidating, unrealistic goal like "I will lose 3 stone by next month,"
set small, achievable goals like, "I will lose from 2 to 5 pounds this
month by following my plan and exercising."
2. Re-set your goals: Each time you achive your goal, give yourself a
(non-Food!) reward like a spray tan or piece of jewellery and then set
another goal.
3. Step by step: Each week, change one food habit to a healthier one. Do
it every week. For example, this week change from 2 sugars in your tea
to 1. Next week cut down to ?and then cut it out completely the
following week
4. Your diet: Dieting doesn't end when you lose
all the weight you want to lose. Your diet is what keeps you slim, and
needs to be healthy, so make lifestyle changes rather than short-term
ones.
5. Portion control: Mega plates make average-sized portions look
smaller. Avoid portion distortion with our brilliant Diet Plate.
6. Great start: Eat a non-sweet or just slightly sweetened cereal every
morning for breakfast. Shredded Wheat and Bran Flakes are good choices.
7. New brew: Drink slimming tea instead of coffee for a mid-morning
pick-me-up: it may have immunity-boosting properties.
8. Popcorn: Invest in a hot air popcorn popper. It's just as quick as
microwave popcorn, and it makes a fibre-rich, guilt-free snack without
trans fat or cholesterol.
9. Abstain: Try to swear off all fried foods for the next couple of
months. Bake or grill or use a non-stick pan. You'll find that you won't
miss fried, forever.
10. Powerful rule: Adopt "on the side, please" as your rule when dining
out. This applies to salad dressing, sauces and gravies.
