Getting off track when trying to lose weight can be part of the norm until you find your rhythm with what you need to do to accomplish your goals. Getting on track is part of the process toward success . . . staying on track is freaking commendable.
We all need reminders when it comes to getting and staying on track when we fall off. Here are 10 tips to incorporate everyday.
1. Plan Ahead. This means plan for your meals with what you are going to eat today, tomorrow or for the week. This can only bring success.
2. Eat Clean 90% of the time. This leaves 10% of leeway to have a few treats such as chocolate or ice cream, but staying within the serving size and not overindulging.
3. Eliminate food products with enriched white flour, white sugar, white rice, white potatoes and too many items on the ingredient label that you cannot pronounce.
4. Exercise with weights, resistance bands and/or your own body weight 3-4 times per week. Changing your body composition only comes when you increase your muscle mass. This happens when you challenge your body with resistance.
5. Eat some type of protein with every meal. Healthy protein such as fish, lean meats, low-fat dairy, beans and lentils help sustain you and repair muscle as you recover from exercise.
6. Eat vegetables with every meal. A variety of vegetables provides natural vitamins and minerals that your body may be missing. Low in calorie, you can only succeed by filling up with vegetables.
7. Eat breakfast daily. Some people will say they are not hungry when they get up. You can always drink your breakfast by having a fruit smoothie with a scoop of protein. It will help break your fast and get your metabolism going.
8. Eat fruit daily. When you start to feed the body with healthy fruits, vegetables and proteins, it will not desire the junk that you may have been feeding it. Get some fruit daily.
9. Opt for wholesome grains that provide fiber such as brown rice, oatmeal, quinoa, bulgur, whole wheat and rye. Ridding the body of weight comes with cleaning it out with fiber. Choose high fiber foods.
10. Always celebrate your success with daily affirmations. Know that you can accomplish anything you want to when you put your mind to it. Start your day by looking in the mirror and telling yourself you will be successful toward your goals that day and end it by praising yourself that you did.
