Tips by Women Who Have Successfully Lost Weight and Kept It Off

At first the challenge is to lose the weight. Once that is accomplished a secondary challenge comes to the forefront – now to keep it off. For a lot of people the second challenge is as big or bigger than the first.

Here are some tips by women who successfully overcame both these challenges:

• Ask yourself if you are eating because you are hungry or if it’s for another reason. Deal with the reason.
• Eat breakfast every day – even if you aren’t a breakfast eater.
• Keep a food and activity record to see what you are eating and how you are exercising so you can see what works and what does not.
• Record successes, no matter how small and reward yourself with non-food rewards.
• Spend at least 20 minutes a day doing some type of exercise or activity, even if it means walking fast around your house.
• Treat desserts and high fat foods as luxuries that can be afforded every so often.
• Watch portion sizes.
• Eat every 3 or 4 hours even if it is a piece of fruit or 10 almonds. It helps stop cravings and overindulging and keeps the energy level up.
• Find physical activities to do with family or friends.
• Know more about foods and their hidden fat contents.
• Take vitamins, minerals and herbs.
• Do a Fruit Juice cleanse once a month to keep the body on track.
• Always choose leaner cuts of meat, lots of vegetables and fruit and learn about whole grains.
• Eat lots of fiber filled food.
