Courtesy from Rob from BUC Inc thought I'd share this because let's face it....YOU along with EVERYONE else out there maybe overinduldged during the holidays and want to get back on track. Don't lie! You know you had that piece of cake or pie and went on a carb overload! lol! Don't be that person who waits till AFTER new years...start right now!
New Year's Diet Resolution No. 1: Go Slow
Resolving to get more fiber in your diet this year? Maybe more fish or fresh fruit? Any diet change is easier if you take slow, small steps. For example:
1.Vow to add a piece of produce to your brown bag lunch daily.
2.Designate a day as fish day.
...3.Package up a single serving of your favorite whole-grain cereal, then treat it as your midmorning snack.
New Year's Diet Resolution No 2: Water, Water, Everywhere
Water: It's cheap, fat-free, and gives your body a quenching boost.
1.Drink one glass first thing in the morning, before you brush your teeth.
2.Tempted by more soda? Another glass of wine? Drink a cup of water with a splash of your favorite beverage in it first.
...3.Resolve to drink one more cup of water today than you had yesterday.
New Year's Diet Resolution No. 3: Go for COLOR!
Colorful produce is packed with disease-fighting plant compounds, so when you shop, reach for a rainbow.
1.Designate a color-a-day. Maybe Mondays are yellow, with grapefruit, golden apples, or corn starring in meals, while Tuesdays are purple with plum and eggplant.
2.Build ...a green pizza with emerald bell peppers and artichokes, or a red chili.
New Year's Diet Resolution No 4: Tackle Mindless Munching
You're chatting with friends around the dinner table or watching a DVD -- and you just keep nibbling.
1.Pop a stick of gum or a sugar-free mint in your mouth.
2.Brush or floss your teeth.
...3.Pay attention -- look at each piece of food you plan to eat.
4.Busy your hands with a glass of water, a cup of tea, or cleaning off the table.
Start with small changes. Remember...it's never a "diet", but a lifestyle. Remember those fad diets...DON'T work!!! They may work in the beginning but you'll most likely end up regaining the weight you lost and worse, even more. Make smarter choices, get yourself an accountability partner if you think that may help and most important....STOP MAKING EXCUSES!!!!!! =) Let 2011 be the year for you!
