HOW TO GET BACK ON THE WEIGHT LOSS TRACK

It happens to all of us… eventually. Don’t let those few pounds you have put on become a bigger problem. The important thing is to stop beating yourself up and get back on track.

Here are tips to help you get back on track with your weight loss:

#1 Don’t put it off – start now, not tomorrow

Saying next Monday or next month is a simple procrastination that can easily spiral into relapse  — don’t let it happen! Just because you slipped up you are not destined to stay overweight. Think of your setback as a way to develop coping skills. Start now, not tomorrow. Start with your next meal!

Don’t let those few pounds you have put on become a bigger problem.

#2 Don’t try to make up for the slip with a punishing regime of diet and exercise

You may lose weight with this rigorous approach, but you’re almost sure to gain it back. This can set up an unhealthy pattern of gaining and losing, and create anxiety about your relationship with food.

#3 Cut out the alcohol 

Alcohol is a triple blow: high in calories, increases appetite and make you less likely to stick to healthy eating and fitness plan. Cut alcohol out for a few weeks, and then make sure you have a few alcohol-free days each week. This can help keep you on track.

#4 Stay away from sweets, instead snack on fruit

Staying away from sweets can be hard especially if you are sweet tooth person. To reduce temptation, don’t go down the supermarket aisles with cakes, cookies and sweets and try not to be tempted by end-of-aisle special offers on sugary goods. Choose one favorite fruit for a day. Make it your healthy between-meal snacks.

#5 Have a healthy weekend

Cheat days lead to cheating! Rather than indulging in meals in front of the TV, find healthy versions for your weekend treats.  How about gardening, walking or hiking? A well planned weekend can make a difference in your weight loss.

#6 Plan your meals

I know life can be hectic and your days super busy, but you can achieve a lot applying my favorite rule: half of the plate is salad, the other half is divided between protein and healthy carbs (keep your portions small)!

#7 Keep moving

Even if you can’t make it to the gym, duck out for a 20-minute walk. Commit to ten thousand steps a day. Take the stairs instead the elevator. Exercise not only helps you burn calories, but it also relieves stress that can trigger overeating.

Focus on these 7 simple tips to get back on track and stay in control of your weight loss.

You’ll see, making a fresh start won’t be that difficult!

All my best ❤️
