Throw Away Your Weighing Scales!!

Forget about what you weigh and instead, concentrate on improving your eating habits
You see a scales makes you think SHORT-TERM THOUGHTS
Like - 'how much do I weigh THIS week?'
Whereas, you should be thinking LONG-TERM THOUGHTS
Like...

Or...
'I'm going to slowly change my figure and my life. Even though this may take a while.'

Diet Tip - Low Fat Diets

Low fat diets reduce the bad, LDL, cholesterol while low cabohydrate diets have no effect on the LDL levels. However, low carbohydrate diets raise the good HDL cholesteol and lower triglycerides and improve control of the blood glucose (sugar) level whereas as low fat diets actually lower the HDL level and raise the triglyceride level.

Health Tip : Humor to deal with Stress

Humor is a good way of dealing with stress. Having the ability to find humor in a stressful situation and being able to laugh about it, releases all the tension that is building inside. Even if the situation cannot be made light of, think of something else that will make you laugh.

Weight Loss Myth - Late Night Eating Leads to Weight Gain

LATE NIGHT EATING DOES NOT LEAD TO WEIGHT GAIN

Our body metabolises food in the same way, whether it's midday or midnight. So late-night eating is no more likely to damage your weight loss or lead to weight gain, than mid-morning eating.

The truth: It's not WHEN you eat that counts - it's WHAT you eat. So although eating high-calorie foods like cookies, ice cream and cakes in front of the TV can lead to weight gain, this is because of the high-calorie nature of the foods, not because it's late in the evening.

Adopt Sensible Eating Habits

Weight regain typically occurs when we quit a fad diet, a very-low-calorie plan, or any very short term diet that causes us to adopt unrealistic eating habits. So when choosing a weight loss diet, choose one that encourages the adoption of sensible eating habits which are easier to maintain after the "diet" ends.
