Edit what you eat—don’t diet!

How to overcome unhealthy habits that are keeping you from losing weight and getting fit.

Even if you put yourself on a diet and stick to it, you could be setting yourself up for failure. So how do you make small, smart changes to your diet and lifestyle to help lose weight for life?

Better Habits:

1) Take baby steps.

Even small changes in your diet and lifestyle can improve your health and trim your waistline.

2) Be realistic.

Don’t expect too much from yourself too soon. It takes about a month for any new action to become a habit.

3) Make a grocery list and stick to it.

Or shop online and have your groceries delivered, so you’re not tempted to make spontaneous purchases.

Reasons to edit your diet:

1) You’ll feel better.

If you suddenly change your diet, it could be a dramatic shift for your body. But if you ease into your new dietary plan slowly, you’ll feel better.

2) You’ll be an inspiration to others.

When your friends and family begin to witness your weight loss, increased energy and vitality they’ll start asking questions. They’ll be curious as to what inspired these changes, how you stuck to them, and if they can do the same.

3) You’ll have more energy.

Energy is one of the main components associated with emotion (which is a combination of energy and motion). By eating foods that truly nourish your cells on a biological level, your digestion works better and is allowed to take a break for a while.

With these easy steps and tidbits, it’s time to edit your diet! Stay inspired and become a better you!
