Manage Your Weight:
Five Tips on Resisting Temptation
(NC)-Keeping to a weight management program can be tricky, with all sorts of tempting obstacles to overcome. However, incorporating simple, day-to-day changes into your lifestyle will make the process less daunting, and allow you to achieve small successes throughout the day. Try incorporating one of the following five tips below each week and soon they'll be second nature:
1. Eat Breakfast - It's a fact: people who regularly eat breakfast have healthier body weights. Some people who are watching their weight skip breakfast to cut back on calories, but this is a common mistake. Studies show that eating cereal as part of a nutritious breakfast promotes a healthy weight.
2. Eat Satisfying Foods: If you are careful in selecting what foods you eat, you can actually feel fuller longer. Create meals and snacks that have both protein and fibre, so you're less likely to feel peckish. For example Special K Satisfaction cereal is a delicious blend of whole grain flakes, rice crisps, rice-soy squares and crunchy oat clusters. It has 10 grams of protein and four grams of fibre in each serving so it will keep you feeling satisfied after breakfast is over.
3. The Buddy System: If you're starting a new healthy eating plan or exercise program, teaming up with a friend will make it easier for you to stay on track. Not only will you motivate each other, but you and your buddy can share tricks and recipes along the way. Also, if you feel a moment of weakness approaching, you can call your friend for some moral support to help keep you honest.
4. Plan in Advance: Take a moment to plan meals and snacks. Consider what and when you are going to eat to help you resist temptation.
5. Splurge occasionally: Remember, as soon as you tell yourself you can never eat cookies again, that is all you're going to want to eat. Don't blacklist any foods. Just remember to eat them in smaller portions and less frequently. If you ignore your cravings, you're more likely to binge later than if you indulge yourself every now and then.
Lastly, do no forget to increase your physical activity levels. The key to a healthy lifestyle is eating well and exercise. If you're not a big fan of the gym, try to incorporate more physical activity in your life as part of your daily schedule.
Aim for 30-60 minutes of activity each day such as brisk walking.
Don't worry - you don't need to do it all at once! Some simple tips that will ramp up your activity include: park further from your office building, take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk to your colleague's office instead of calling or sending an email, or go for a walk on your lunch hour. By making small changes, you can make a big difference in your overall health and weight.
