Helping your diet

You can do many things to assist your diet:
  1. Set yourself a 100 day challenge
    - allow time for the diet to work
     
  2. Weigh yourself once a week
    - record your weight
    - avoid daily weighing: it can be demoralising
  3. Treats are bad
    - giving yourself a treat may lead to failure
    - if you are addicted to adverse chemicals, then do not expose yourself to them
  4. Find out the recommended daily intake
    - salt, sugar, fat
    - you need to eat less than the recommended daily intake in order to lose weight
     
  5. If you are failing to lose weight, cut down the carbohydrates
    - low carbohydrate diets are often very successful
     
  6. Put blinkers on when shopping
    - order an organic vegetable box
    - make supermarket shopping surgical: ignore anything that does not aid your diet
  7. Clear out the cupboards
    - go through your cupboards ruthlessly and get rid of anything unhealthy
  8. Visualise the future
    - how will you look?
    - how will you feel about yourself?
    - how much healthier will you be?
  9. Practice your tai chi chuan every day at home for an hour a day
  10. Cycle or walk as often as you can

  11. Not getting anywhere?
    - see a dietician
