Although most of the people want to lose weight, be more in shape and in betterhealth, this may be hard to set up these habits.
It asked me a lot of attempts and frustrations before learning how to have a healthylife style. In 2005, I was 30 pounds, I was smoking, addicted to junk food, sedentary,and I couldn't make sport more than a few days in a row before stopping.
Today, I am much healthier, slimmer, and more. I eat healthy most of the time (withregular pleasures) and I am able to keep me a meal plan if I want, and I avoid junk food most of the time.
How I changed? I learned a few simple strategies. It will not be appropriate foreveryone, so choose those which may be suitable for your life, and try them!
Swing the junk food. Have foods that are not healthy in your home or at your place ofwork makes it too difficult to do to keep a healthy diet. If possible, swing everythingthat is sweet, greasy, fried or salted. The best strategy is to not have them at hand.Empty your closets and your fridge!
Find some recipes and buy the ingredients. There are hundreds in lines. Find one ortwo with which the start, easy which do not require one hour of preparation, and gobuy the ingredients today.
Cook in large quantities. I find it easier to stand at a healthy meal plan if I preparethings in advance. So I cook large portions of Chile or of vegetables, tofu vegetablestir-fry or soup, and I put everything in the tupperwares in the fridge or freezer. I likesplit container representing a portion of meals, like that I just have to heat when it istime to eat.
Store healthy snacks. When you're hungry snack, what are you going to eat? Havehealthy things to eat at home, at work and on the road. Fresh fruit, vegetables intosticks, nuts, and dried fruits are my favorite part.
Socialize in a healthy way. Instead of out in bars or restaurants to unbalanced dishes,can you exit set tea, or make a basket, or go walk in the Park? Or find a balancedrestaurant where to eat?
Find a sports partner. Take your half or a good friend or a colleague to walk with youor run with you, or find yourself in the gym or during sport. That someone do so withyou makes it more fun and easier, and you more likely to go there if you have anappointment to meet someone.
Use social networks as a motivation. You can use Facebook, Twitter, Google +, or yourfavorite online forum for you motivate and accountable. Publicly announce yourhealth challenges, they last 2 weeks or a month, and make sure others are used tomake accounts.
Play out. It is important to go out each day and take the air and the Sun. Move, takethe kids and play, find a friend and go stroll or kick a ball.
Find healthy options when you eat out. Instead of eating fast food or restaurantchains where everything is fried and oily, can you find other local restaurants withopportunities to eat balanced? Make a list and go to these places when you go out.
Make water and tea to be your default drinks. Many people drink soda or coffee sweetall day. It is not necessary for a life healthy or appreciable. Water can become yourfavorite drink and tea (no sugar) can be very healthy. I like to have a ritual of green teaonce a day.
Plan active breaks. If you spend your day on computer, plan of short breaks every 30to 60 minutes during which you can do the stretching, you walk, and maybe do somesquats or pumps, and drink a little water. Exercise is not necessarily only once per day.
Involve your half. It is difficult to make changes if your half is reluctant. Then, early inyour process (understand: now), share your way of seeing, reading, and ask them tohelp you get in shape. Do not force them to change, but see if they can be part ofyour team.
Small - do not start too. The big changes tend to be difficult to make them last. Makea small change in this list, then test in another, then another. At each step along thispath, you will get used and this will become your new standard. No step has to bevery difficult.
Have fun in doing the exercise. Create challenges, for yourself and for your friends.Find sports you enjoy doing. See the race as a form of meditation. The sport is notnecessarily boring or difficult; This can be one of the best moments of your day.
Drink red wine. One or two glasses of red wine can be very good for health, and canadd a little fun to your new lifestyle. I sincerely believe is to create a healthy lifestylethat we appreciate, so add healthy foods you like, activities you love, aware the ritual,and a ritual of red wine from end of day.
