You are going to take stock of what you eat in the real world, you’re just doing it sooner rather than later. Most people coming off set meal plan diets don’t know how to eat in the real world and end up falling back into old habits; this is because they never addressed their eating habits and why they gained the weight in the first place. They were trying to fix the symptoms of the weight rather than to get to the root cause of the problem which is more than just the issue of the weight itself.
To Achieve Your Weight Loss Goal…
Know your target weight and determine how much you need to lose. Break your goals down to weekly weight loss amounts and work one pound at a time towards your goal, it may seem pale in comparison to those Biggest Loser contestants but yours is realistic and achievable in the time that you can devote. Don’t think you’re going to lose 100 pounds in one month because it will mostly be water and precious muscle and to shift that kind of mass in such a short time frame will no doubt damage your body in the process.
Slow wins the race. That’s how the weight came on, so don’t think you can lose 10 years worth of weight in one month. I promise it will come off quicker than it went on. Stick with it.
Prioritize your weight loss. Sacrifice something you can do without such as watching television or playing video games. It’s important that you make that time for yourself if you want to see results.
Keep track of your calories and how much you’re eating. Buy yourself a little notebook and jot down all of the things you eat in a day. Look at the food packaging and determine how many calories you consumed. Also watch out for how much sugar and sodium you are taking into your body. Unless they are unprocessed and raw, most cereals will have high hidden sugar content in the form of fructose which is fruit sugar to give cereal its sweet taste.
Fructose although a fruit sugar can still be stored as fat if not burned off as energy. You must be aware of this because this is where hidden calories are coming from. Be mindful and aware of what you are eating, and find the things you can do without in your current diet such as food high in fat and sugars. Look for added sugars and added juices on your food packaging.
