If you are about to begin a diet, the number of diet plans and products available may make it confusing to know which is right for you. No matter which diet you choose, here are some tips that may be helpful to you in your weight loss regimen:
1. Know how much your weight affects much more than your appearance. Your health, quality of living, and self-esteem are also affected by your weight. Losing weight now will bring about many positive changes in your life.
2. See your doctor for a complete physical if you have not done so recently. Realize that everyone makes dieting mistakes and everyone has occasional slips. If you overeat one day, just pick up where you left off the next day and don't be too hard on yourself.
3. Understand that if you are committed to your diet plan and want to lose weight permanently you must not only eat healthy foods but you must also change how you eat your food, you must increase your activity level, and realize that you will have to make permanent changes in your behavior.
4. Set reasonable goals for yourself as far as how much want you want to lose in any period of time. Trying to lose 10 lbs. in a week or 30 lbs. in a month is not only unreasonable but could be harmful to your health.
5. Know that, If you do not enjoy the foods your diet allows, then you won't be able to stick to it. Choose your diet plan carefully and ask yourself if you can live with it for a long period of time.
6. Realize that emotional issues rather than hunger alone often cause overeating. Find a way to cope with the problem of emotional eating and recognize it when it happens. The potential health problems due to obesity are very serious. If your will power wanes, remember the risks involved with being overweight.
7. Genetics, your ethnic background, your home and work environments, and any physical issues you may have will affect your effort to lose weight. Accept the things you can't change and set attainable goals.
8. Moderation is the key when beginning any diet. Overly severe restrictions on the foods you are allowed to eat and the omission of entire foods groups will lead to cravings and binges.
9. Keep in mind that losing weight is not easy and will take hard work and discipline on your part. Difficult doesn't have to mean impossible. Make the commitment to lose weight and stick with it. You'll not only look better, but you'll feel better about yourself.
