A key component to reaching your health and fitness goals is setting yourself up for success. This means creating a goal that allows you to make steady progress with lifestyle changes you can maintain, the same way my client Morgana did. She realized that she must "eat to live" not the other way around. For most of us, it's unrealistic to completely avoid our fav foods or stick to some fad diet for a lifetime. Research and experience has shown us that long-term weight loss - that is 30lbs or more kept off for at least a year, is achieved by the following:
- Reducing calorie intake
- Recording/Logging food intake
- Increasing physical activity level
- Eating breakfast
- Checking progress regularly (i.e., weighing yourself once a week)
Although many of us want to lose weight as quickly as possible, it's best to gradually shed the pounds if you want to keep it off.
