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.

  1. Exercise Everyday Try to get the heart rate above 135 for at least 5 minutes twice a day.
  2. Don’t over eat Take time between each bite to breath or take a sip of water.
  3. Protein with each meal Have a least a little protein, and it can be a non meat.
  4. 5 servings of fruit or veggies a day
  5. Don’t eat after 7 pm
  6. 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.
  7. Stay away from starch and sugar snacks.
  8. Keep some healthy food with me so if I am tempted I have an alternative.
  9. 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.
