Eat a balanced diet with an occasional treat, avoid high fat and sugary foods, and be physically active. Make simple changes like reducing high fat and simple carbohydrate foods while increasing physical activity. Read food labels to monitor calories and fat intake, choose complex over simple carbs, and drink water for health and weight loss. Adopting these lifestyle habits will help you lose weight and maintain a healthy weight long term.

1. Fast Diet Fixes
Keep It Simple

2. When it comes to losing
weight for good, it boils
down to 2 things:
What you eat and how
much you move.

3. Eat sensibly.
That’s not to say that you can’t have the
occasional treat from time to time.
Just not every day.

4. A lot of high fat, sugary foods were absent from our
shelves just 50 short years ago and the weight of the
average person reflected this.
Clearly, it is how we are eating nowadays that is making
us overweight.
If you just make simple changes such as reducing high
fat, simple carbohydrate foods and move a little more
like our ancestors did, you will lose weight.

5. Eat a balanced diet and you’re well on your
way to remaining slender and healthy for the
rest of your life.
These are some things to remember:
First off, do not eliminate any of the food
groups.
Cutting out entire food groups will not only
deprive you of vitamins and minerals but will
leave you with a very unbalanced and boring
diet which is difficult to stick to.

6. Read food labels and find those hidden calories.
Being aware of this will not only keep the weight
off but will also empower you to make informed
decisions about what you are putting into your
body.

7. Avoid high fat foods.
A treat once in a while is fine and we all should get a
certain amount of fats from our foods but be careful
you don’t get too much of the wrong kind.
Remember anything you eat that isn’t burned off is
stored.

8. Be aware of your carbohydrate intake.
Make sure you get more of the complex
than the simple variety.
Slow release, complex carbs will sustain
you for longer and won’t leave you feeling
tired and lethargic.

9. Drink water.
You can also get fluid from coffee, tea,
milk, fruits and juices but water is the
best drink of all.
Your body prefers water because it can
be readily absorbed and used.

10. Stick to these simple rules and you will inevitably lose
weight.
Even better, you will remain at your perfect weight so
long as you adopt these lifestyle choices.
Remember that it’s your body, your mind…
Treat them well and they will reward you with
increased energy, sparkling eyes, a positive outlook and
a slender, toned physique.
