Maybe you've been struggling - without success - to get down to the size you were in high school or on your wedding day. But do you really need to go that low? The truth, experts say, is that you can weigh more than your ideal weight and still be healthy (not to mention happy). If you're overweight, losing just 10% of your body weight is associated with a myriad of health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood sugar, and reducing your risk for heart disease. Not only that, experts say, but this kind of weight loss is easier to attain and maintain, setting you up for success in the long run.
Here are top 10 habits to help you turn your dream of weight loss into a reality:
1. Evaluate your eating habits.
2. If you fail to plan, plan to fail.
3. Always shop with a full belly.
4. Eat regular meals.
5. Eat your food sitting down at a table, and from a plate.
6. Serve food onto individual plates, and leave the extras back at the stove.
7. Eat slowly, chew every bite, and savor the taste of the food. 8. Don't eat after dinner.
9. If you snack during the day, treat the snack like a mini-meal.
10. Start your day with breakfast.
