Shop for food only after eating. You will be less likely to buy foods impulsively – especially foods you don’t need!
When you shop for food stick to your shopping list. This helps you guard against impulse buying. Make sure you list is complete and do not buy any extra food items.
Watch food labels. Foods with a high percentage of fat (or carbohydrates that are sugars) will slow down your weight loss. Don't just count grams, count percentage of total calories that are fats or sugars.
Don't think that just because you are eating low fat/low calorie foods that you can eat all that you want. The calories still add up and must be burned off regardless of what kind of food you eat. Balance is the key.
Water is essential to all bodily functions and has no calories. It is the perfect drink for dieters. You need eight glasses of water daily.
Be happy: you're OK! Resisting all those tempting foods is NOT going to kill you.
Success is when you can look beyond food...and look down and see your feet!
Each day you can stay on your weight-loss programme brings you closer to your weight goal.
Take small servings - avoid gorging yourself, if you’re still hungry you can always have a little more.
Limit your time in the supermarket. The longer you stay, the more you will buy.
Never starve yourself, especially before going out to eat (or you will binge). Never skip meals, you must have some kind of nourishment regularly or your body's starvation defences will kick in, lower your metabolism, and store fat.
Be patient - it took years to gain weight; it takes time to lose weight.
Chew your food completely: digestion begins in the mouth. Avoid "washing" half-chewed food down.
Lose weight with a supportive friend, a support group or with a Cambridge counsellor.
Limit alcohol. Alcoholic drinks have many calories & little else.
Schedule your exercise time just as you plan your other activities of the day. Treat this time as an important appointment you don’t want to miss.
Did you know that simply changing the temperature of the water you drink can speed up your metabolism and burn more calories? Drink hot water!
Write your weight goal & post it where you'll see it everyday.
You are responsible for what you do & what you eat.
Eat to live, not live to eat. Overeating can KILL you!
