Secrets of Success

Take a long hard look

Use the plateau to take a long, hard look at your exercise routine and your nutrition.

Are you skipping workouts? Make sure you're getting you're doing your workout's as planned.

Have the workouts become easier for you to do? Increase the intensity, by increasing the speed or resistance on cardio machine so that you are working harder.

Are you sticking to your eating plan? A couple of extra "treats" a week may be enough to stop fat loss.

your energy saves on the energy bill

When I start to feel cold, I get up and do some cardio. Often when I'm done I don't need to turn up the heater. Improves your health and saves on the energy bill!

Go small proportion - eat often

I look at what I need in nutrition to fuel my day. Plan, shop, and break my calorie consumption down into five meals with more calories being allocated to the hour before my work out.

Simple guide to food choices

Think 3 things when choosing what to eat: Low fat, High fiber, Low sugar. If you stick with foods in those categories in reasonable portions and exercise consistently, you'll have no trouble maintaining your weight.

Chewing Gum

I'm sure now everyone has heard about gum chewing for weight loss. I have found that eating it after I eat my meal, that it keeps me from going back for seconds or thirds if I'm not really hungry. Just the act of chewing seems to keep me satisfied.

Fast Food Eating

When I get food from a fast food restaurant I get children sizes versus adults. It has less calories, still fills you up AND is cheaper. Why get full on more calories and more money when less does the same job?

FROZEN FRUIT PIECES

i have been cutting up peaches and bananas into bite size chunks and freezing them on a cookie tray so they stay individual, also grapes and cherries. When put into plastic containers or small ziplock bags they stay apart allowing you to take out however many pieces of a fruit you want... to snack on (allows for easy tracking), for quick access and is great for smoothies and when blended with a little cottage cheese or yogourt, tastes just like icecream/sherbet.

dont eat after 7 pm

really. i started because of reflux, but it has a bonus..i started losing more!
