We all know there are certain things to do and not do that will help us lose weight. Sometimes we make exceptions and sometimes we just forget to be healthy. I am setting up these rules more as a guide-line than laws to stay healthy. Most of these are reminders.
- Exercise Everyday Try to get the heart rate above 135 for at least 5 minutes twice a day.
- Don’t over eat Take time between each bite to breath or take a sip of water.
- Protein with each meal Have a least a little protein, and it can be a non meat.
- 5 servings of fruit or veggies a day
- Don’t eat after 7 pm
- Use dinner to set up a night time fasting 3 or 4 times a week. Go to bed a little hungry. And wake up to tea with lemon and later a healthy breakfast with lots of fruit.
- Stay away from starch and sugar snacks.
- Keep some healthy food with me so if I am tempted I have an alternative.
- Set up long term goals and make them happen.
OK so these rules are not so hard. And should be easy to follow.
Do you have a rule that helps you lose weight? Please share it.
I had someone tell me to eat three meals a day like this…eat like a King in the morning always a good breakfast, then like a Queen at lunch and finally like a pauper at night.
I don’t know about anyone else but getting weight off over 50 is extremely hard but….I will not give up!
