5 Ways to Stick with Your Diet....Finally!

If you have ever begun a diet or eating plan then you know you always start with the best intentions. You’re excited, ready to conquer the world and are convinced that THIS diet is going to be the one! You’re motivated and you’re really going to do it this time.

Almost invariably, however, the new wave crash diet becomes a crash and burn. The next thing you know you’re nestled on the couch weeping while pounding down a gallon of rocky road ice cream. You feel frustrated, demoralized and depressed. This is not a good place to be.

Have no fear…below are five sure fire ways to help you maintain a diet/eating plan for the long haul and ensure that you get the results you deserve!

Do Not Deprive
Most diets are centered on one thing, calorie deprivation. A diet that is very low in calories can result in weight loss initially. These diets are impossible to maintain because when you deprive the body of much needed calories it begins to think it’s starving and causes you to crave unhealthy foods. Eventually you will cave under the pressure of pizza, nachos, ice cream, brownies, etc. Within days the weight you lost comes right back and then some. What good is that initial weight loss if it only lasts a few weeks? Instead, opt for a healthy, well-rounded eating plan that is not loaded with calories but doesn’t leave you starving either.

Be a Cheater
Take a second and think about your favorite unhealthy food…Do you have one in mind? Now, what if I told you that I could help you lose weight but you couldn’t eat that food for six months? First you would hate me…then you all you would think about is that food item until you threw in the towel and went to work on an entire pizza or bucket of wings. This is psychology and it’s very hard to control. Here’s a quick experiment. Close your eyes and DON’T think about butter for the next 30 seconds….okay, what did you think about? That’s right, butter. The same thing will happen if you try to avoid your favorite foods for weeks or months at a time.

Instead, allow yourself 1-2 cheat meals a week. While you might not be able to make it to February without your favorite foods, I bet you can make it to Saturday night. Eating a couple of unhealthy meals in a week when you exercised hard and ate right will not ruin your results!

Set Short Term Goals

When you set long term goals they can seem unattainable. When a goal seems unattainable you will almost always give up early in the process. Instead, set goals that are 4-8 weeks out. They can be simple goals like, stick to an exercise plan for the month of September, or lose 15 pounds by Halloween. When you can see the light at the end of the tunnel it’s much easier to run towards it.

Be sure to visualize your goals, write your goals on paper and share them verbally with someone. When you do these three things it increases your chances of success drastically!

If you fall down, get right back up
It happens to everyone…you are following a diet or eating plan and following all the “rules” only to have a weak and private moment with a bag of Oreos. Many people let these moments bring them down and a moment turns into a day which turns into a week and so on. If this happens to you just know that is perfectly normal. The people who succeed in the long term are the ones who see those moments for what they are and get right back on the horse the next meal or the next day at the latest. Mama said there would be days like this…don’t let it derail you!

Know Your Weaknesses and Avoid Them
There are always things in our lives that act as fitness and weight loss repellents. One that I hear about all the time is a person’s social life. Those with an active social life are often forced into situations where there is nothing but unhealthy foods and alcohol available. Whether it’s dinner with friends, a party at the neighbor’s house, or Sunday bbq’s; if you are frequently in situations where you are banging down 3-4 glasses of wine in while gossiping about the neighbors, then achieving lasting fitness results will be very tough. If this describes you, then it may be time to re-evaluate your weekly activities. If fitness and weight loss are important to you, your friends and neighbors will understand…and hopefully support you!

Another weight loss repellent is keeping unhealthy foods in the house. If you have a hard time being around bad food without diving in, then getting those types of food out of the house is extremely important. Let’s face it, humans are mammals and if we smell blood in the water (or donuts in the house) then we will attack. My advice is to perform a kitchen exorcism and get the junk out! If you do find yourself craving bad foods but all you have available is healthy and nutrition foods, you will always make the right choice!

There you have it…five proven ways to help you stick with a healthy eating plan for the long term and start shedding the pounds for good! Good luck!

Finishing The Abs Diet....

Sorry followers I am a week late but you know how it goes.... I have been working on making my business click for my clients and giving all my followers on the blog some good shit to read ( pardon my french) I get excited about success of others as well as I do for myself.

I wanted you to get the rest of of the

A.B.S D.I.E.T P.O.W.E.R

Food you should eat when you are on Abs diet
With Abs diet, you can eat as much as you were eating. The different is that you replace bad food with the power 12 food. The power 12 include : Nuts(almond is the best), Bead that is high in fiber and protein, vegetables with green leaf like spinach or romaine lettuce, low fat diary product, unprocessed(unsweetened, unflavored) oatmeal, egg(without yolk is better), lean meat like turkey that is low in fat and high in protein, peanut butter (unsweetened, the commercial on that you see in supermarket doesn’t make the cut), olive oil (extra virgin is better), whole grain food, whey protein, raspberries and other berries.


It is not hard to remember this twelve power food, the 12 food can fit in one phrase “Abs Diet Power”

Almond
Bean
Spinach

Diary
Instant Oatmeal
Eggs
Turkey

Peanut Butter
Olive oil
Whole grain breads
Extra whey protein powder
Raspberries

See, abs diet power, it is just that easy. Try to replace them in your normal meal. Choose lean cut of steak instead of sirloin steak, drink fat free milk instead of whole fat. Replace rice with black beans. Cook with olive oil instead of vegetable or corn oil. Use whole wheat bread instead of white bread. It is very easy to substitute bad food with the power 12.

I will describe more way to use the power twelve in your normal meal later

Work to Work

If you've been enjoying a cozy winter, and are concerned about losing a few inches before it's time to don your bathing suit once again, don't worry, you still have time! Working out to lose inches requires knowledge about how the body works. Many people get frustrated when their workouts result in bulking rather than slimming, so follow the following steps to make sure you are targeting your workouts to find a sleeker, slimmer figure in time for summer.

1. Workout to burn calories. Within a workout, try alternating between aerobic and anaerobic (resistance) exercises.

2. Strength train for endurance, not muscle mass. Simply put, do more reps with lighter weights. You can also do more exercises that utilize your own body weight for resistance instead of machine exercises designed to increase muscular bulk.

3. Change Your Diet. Cut out junk/sugary food, processed foods, and high fat foods. Eat more whole foods and drink plenty of water.

4. Think Sustainable. Make dietary changes and adapt workouts that you can continue over time, unless you plan on gaining the weight back after swimsuit season.
