Diet is NOT the Solution!

How many diets have you tried over the years?  Were they successful?  Most people “go on” a diet only to “fall off” the diet and then gain all their weight back and more! 

 STOP DIETING!

Dieting is a short-term strategy and is not the solution for long-term weight management.  You have to make lifestyle changes!  Change takes discipline and time.  You are changing for life, not for a wedding, class reunion, or birthday.  Yes, it may be difficult during the initial few weeks, but after few awhile it will be just like brushing your teeth.

Start by making conscious food choices!  Do you drink sodas or other caloric drinks – STOP!  You may be thinking the 100% juice you’re drinking is healthy, but you’re not getting the fiber and nutrients the fruit would provide.  Eat the whole fruit instead!  Do you eat out every day at lunch or dinner?  I recommend purchasing and eating food prepared from home for one week – no eating out!  Challenge yourself even further by not purchasing frozen or boxed meals. Try it, you’ll notice a difference!   You can do it!
