Description

When exercising for the first time, don't overdo it. You are more likely to learn to enjoy exercising if you begin gradually. Don't starve yourself. Your body stores up more calories as fat, instead of burning them, when calorie intake is drastically reduced. Keep the veggies near the front of the fridge and fruit on the counter. Stop drinking beverages with sugar. A glass of coke contains 8-10 teaspoons of sugar. Try water, tea, or black coffee. Healthy weight loss occurs at a steady pace. Remember that you are aiming for a permanent change, not a quick fix. Try not to eat at fast food restaurants. If you do choose fast food, stick to the healthier end of the menu. Most places now offer a variety of salad and fruit options. Don't be fooled by products claiming "low fat," "less sugar," “diet,” and "low calorie". Read the nutrition labels to see for yourself the levels of sugar, fat, and carbohydrates they contain. Get your whole family involved in habits for healthy eating and lifestyle changes. This is a healthy choice for everybody. Reduce your use of alcoholic beverages. Alcohol, including beer, contains a lot of calories. Don't eat absolutely no carbohydrates, sugar, fats, or salt. Those are all necessary for your body. Only decrease the amount by a little, but never to zero.
