How to stay slim and healthy

August 18, 2008

You are glad to find that you fit into your old jeans now! The months on the diet from hell are over now. But it’s now all more important that you keep yourself away from piling up more kilos to your body. Here’s how you can go by that!

Stay slim by setting a long term goal
If you want to succeed in a long term weight control plan, then you have to work on a long term goal for staying slim. For this, you can always workout what the biggest ‘added’ benefit of losing weight has been for you. You can also write it down on a piece of paper and pin it up somewhere you’ll see it everyday. Reading this again and again will keep you highly motivated for staying slimmer and healthier.

Stay slim by keeping your diet buddies
Remember that maintaining a healthy weight post diet is much easier if you have people to support you. It has been found that 66% of people with ‘diet buddies’ keep their weight off, But only 24% of those who go at it alone manage the same. You can hold regular dinner parties with your diet friends who are also trying to maintain their weight and agree to serve only healthy food. This way you can get all the fun and enjoyment of night out with no anxiety of overeating. Even you can ask your close buddy to be your weigh-in-partner. Standing on the scales in front of each other will really encourage you both to keep going.

The secret isn’t eating less, it’s eating better. To keep the weight off, look at why you eat, how you eat, and what you eat. Go for fiber filling foodstuffs, fresh fruit juices and low calorie stuff. Nut keeps you in a filler mood for long period of time, so hit them whenever you feel hungry.
