Starting a diet is not at all hard, respecting all it’s requirements is the real challenge. From personal experience, I can say that in order to stay fit and keep a normal weight we should cultivate some healthy habits and follow them all our lives. Temporary diets have short-term effects and, when we give them up, the consequences are often unpleasant.
For better results you should focus on these aspects:
- Set realistic goals!
- Pave the way for a diet: gradually give up commercial juices, sweets, bakery products and other foods that are unhealthy and fat.
- Choose the diet right for you! If you cannot talk with a nutritionist for weight loss food programs, adopt a balanced diet that does not deprive you of absolutely everything you love to eat. Choose a diet that integrates some of your culinary preferences.
- Expect deviations, but do not give up!
- Turn to family and friends for support when you feel you give in!
