Ten Golden Rules To Help Your Weight Loss Goals
During my life journey of safe weight loss struggles. I have found a few things along the way that have kept me focused and on track, I call them the golden rules of any successful diet plan. Staying to a plan is not easy but with a couple of small, SAFE WEIGHT LOSS rules you can help accelerate your weight loss. These are not just rules to lose weight but rules to live by, a complete lifestyle change. Following these rules will help you to get the weight off quickly and safely and keep the weight off for good. Say goodbye to the old you and say hello to the new hot you!
Ten Golden Rules to help your diet plan:
1. Support of Friends and Family is the most important thing that you can have when starting and continuing any weight loss program. Let the people you care about and that care about you know your weight loss goals. They are more likely to jump on board to help rather than tempt you if they know your weight loss plans. If you have this support you have everything, these are the people that will give you encouragement when you are feeling defeated
2. Breaking your daily food intake into five to six meals instead of three will be beneficial for your weight loss. Doing this will keeps your metabolism high all day long making sure that your body does not feel as though you are starving yourself and store food as fat.
3. Portion size is very important, throw out your scale for weighing food; you have the best tool at your fingertips! Use your fist as a guide, a clenched fist shows you how each portion should be at each of your six meals. A deck of cards also works the same way. This really works trust me.
4. Cold, water based liquids should be consumed with every meal. Ensure you are drinking cold, low calorie drinks; they keep you full, add water to your cells and help you burn calories because your body has to heat the water up to body temperature.
5. Using a calorie shifting method for eating keeps your metabolism on high gear, it helps to make sure that your body never gets used to a routine. It speeds up your fat loss and helps you keep on track by using foods you like in your diet plan.
6. Go for a walk every day. We are not talking about heavy cardio we are talking about a brisk walk to keep your energy levels up and burn calories. Get out from in front of that TV and help stimulate your mind and boost your energy levels at the same time!
7. Throw your scale out six days a week. Do not look at your weight everyday it will only prove to be a de-motivator as your weight fluctuates while your body adjusts to your new routine. Instead weigh yourself once a week at the same time, do not forget to record this in your log! (we will cover this in the next rule)
8. Start a log. Write down what and when you eat as well as the activates you do. This helps build a routine. It takes 12 weeks for any new thing to become habit or routine. This helps you get there faster, helps you stay on track and work towards achieving your goals.
9. Set realistic goals and timeframes for weight loss. Do not be heartbroken if you miss your goals, over time you may plateau for short periods do not worry you can work through this just stay determined. Stay focused you can do it. I BELIEVE IN YOU !!
10. REWARD YOURSELF AT EVERY LITTLE GOAL. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN YOU LOSE TEN POUNDS GO TO THE SPA TREAT YOURSELF YOUR WORTH IT!
Remember that you are the only you that you have. You deserve the best; always strive to make yourself better and healthier!

I found these 3 Simple and Powerful
Techniques to Help You Achieve Your
Weight Loss Goals can be valuable too.
There are many factors that determine
the success or failure of your weight
loss goals. In this article I will tell
you about some of the things you should
do in order to lose weight successfully.
1. Set small goals: Most people are
unable to achieve their weight loss
goals because they always think big.
There is nothing wrong with thinking
big, but don’t make your goals so big as
though they become overwhelming and
intimidating to you! Don’t stretch your
weight loss goals so far that you feel
tempted to quit your weight loss program
altogether! Start slow and you will see
how easy it is to shed those obstinate
pounds!
You know that you need to make huge
lifestyle in order to lose weight
successfully. Now, keep in mind that you
cannot make these changes overnight! For
example, if today I ask you to avoid
eating junk foods altogether, will you
be able to follow my advice? You will
probably try hard to avoid junk foods
for a day or two, and by doing that, you
will be all the more tempted to take a
bite of your favorite fatty foods. As a
result, you’ll end up gaining more
pounds than what you started with! What
a waste!
Here is an easier way to do it: instead
of trying to cut down on your junk food
intake entirely, try to replace one junk
food with one good food. Do you eat
butter? Well, replace that with peanut
butter. Next day, replace burgers with
raw carrots! If you eat white breads,
replace that with wholegrain wheat
breads.
You won’t be able to accomplish all of
these changes overnight, but you will be
able to archive your goals if you do it
slowly, bit by bit. Eventually you will
realize that you have completely
replaced your bad foods with the healthy
foods, but without going through any
stress or temptation!
2. Replace bad habits with the good
ones: Remember that you gained weight
because of certain bad habits. Ideally
you should break those old habits in
order to lose weight, but I know that
breaking an old habit is easier said
than done. What you can do instead of
modify your bad habit enough so that it
becomes a good and healthy habit.
If you are like most people, you have a
habit of snacking in the afternoon.
Instead of trying to break your
afternoon snacking habit, try to replace
the snack itself!. If you eat chocolate
soups and cookies as snacks, replace
them with low-fat yogurt and raw fruits!
3. Get rid of temptations: Unless you
learn to control your temptations, you
won’t be able to lose weight
successfully. One overwhelming
temptation most people suffer from is
that of food. Whenever you are tempted
to eat, do something that would distract
you from the thought of food. You can do
anything such as dancing, driving,
walking around your house, doing some
sit-ups, or drinking a glass of water.
All of these things will help keep
yourself away from the continuous food
cravings!
