Focus on healthy behaviors, not just the number on the scale.
Track habits with realistic goals. Congratulate yourself for sticking to a goal. If you fall short, don’t get discouraged or upset with yourself. Reflect on why you fell short and how you can get back on track.
Eat real food.
One of the most important things you can do for your health is to limit processed foods as much as possible. In today’s world, it can be hard to completely cut out processed foods, but try to limit it as much as you can. Add fruits and veggies, whole grains, and healthy fats to your diet. Cut back on sugar as much as possible.
Meal plan.
Starting a healthy diet can be overwhelming. Figuring out some meals and snacks to prepare in advance can help a lot when hunger cravings strike. There are plenty of resources online to help with meal planning and how to cook healthier meals.
Set realistic goals.
Track food, lifestyle changes, exercise and weight loss with realistic goals. Making too lofty or unrealistic goals can lead to disappointment and discouragement. You also want to focus on losing weight in a healthy, long lasting way.
Stay active.
Inactivity can hinder weight loss goals, so make sure you are staying active. Exercise is not only good for physical health but also mental health. Try different exercise classes or low impact workouts to get started.
