Lifestyle Guidelines

Diets do work, but the thing is, they only work while you are on them. As soon as you stop dieting you generally put all the weight back on again (if not a little bit more).

What we need to do instead of diet is alter our eating lifestyle. Concentrate on making permanent changes to our lives, instead of temporary ones. I heard someone once describe a diet at coldral. It's like treating the symptoms of the cold without dealing with the causes of it.

I'm working on dealing with the cause of being overweight.

"Overweight. That's a very heavy word, it represents a very heavy subject."

Therefore my focus is on setting guidelines for my lifestyle. This is proving to be an on-going situation while I experience with ideas, make mistakes and discover what these guidelines can be for me.

Naturally I call these guidelines because there could be times in my daily life where it would be impracticable to follow them, these times would be special occasions (as I have spoken of in the past) or not having enough time to meet them.

So far I have come up with a few guidelines and they are as follows:

  • Bring a packed lunch to work
  • Drink two - three bottles of water a day
  • Drink Tea - mainly Green Tea
Three, so far. Well that's not what's going to stay. I've got a few more ideas floating around my head that I am going to work on. 
  • One bought lunch a week
  • Spend less than $10 on extra food weekly
  • Substitute a few meals for a protein shake
  • Snack only on fruit or low card bars
  • Eat Fresh
  • Eat wholemeal Carbs
  • Start the day with a glass of water and a freshly squeezed Lemon
  • Don't drink my calories
  • No more fast foods
  • No carbs for dinner
  • Don't eat in one sitting more than you can burn in 1 workout
That's what I have so far
