How do you stay on diets without splurging and falling off the wagon?
Question Posted Saturday December 11 2010, 5:05 pm
This summer I went on a diet and lost 40 pounds. I ate healthy and exercised. I'm not eating a ton of junk food or anything now and i havent gained any weight back but i'm not losing weight anymore either. Everyday I tell myself I'm going to start my diet back but I never do it. I weigh 146 and I really want to lose just 25 pounds.How do I get back on my diet?

If you're exercising a half hour a day then you need to do it for an hour. It is really hard to cut back on foods you really love but one thing I did was to allow myself 2 cheat meals. I had something good (or bad..lol) on Tues. and Fri. nights and I cut back on my carbs the rest of the week. For me it started with the shopping cart because if I never brought anything bad in the house, then I couldn't eat anything bad. Hope this helps a little and good luck.

At each meal, make sure you are getting enough protein, carbohydrates and good fats. Don't cut out any food groups because you need them all. (Except for sweets)
Only eat the healthy foods you truly enjoy. If you eat a food just because it's healthy and not because you like it, you're going to feel deprived and that could sabotage your diet. Good luck! [ LiSaxOBaBii's advice column | Ask LiSaxOBaBii A Question ]
