Herbal Health Review Diet Success Tips

Okay, you’re reading this piece because you’re about to go on a diet and want to make a success of it or you’re already on a diet that’s hit a snafu and you want to turn it around. Whatever the case may be, if you follow these tips, you can be rest assured that your diet is sure to succeed.

First things first, we’re assuming that your “extra body” is not due to a medical condition – if it is, you’d be better off consulting a doctor. In fact, it is a good idea to get medical advice before going on a diet. We’re also hoping you’re not chomping on a 5-lb king-sized-burger and sipping on a cola (at least while reading this article).

Okay, here we go:

Tips to take your diet to a fitting finale:

1. Make a diet plan. Instead of wasting your time reading blogs or watching idiotic personal movies on sites such as YouTube.com, sit down and write a detailed plan about foods that are good for you, foods that agree with your body and foods that you enjoy the most. Get to know their calories and eliminate the foods that have high calorific content.

2. Reinforce your mind with steel. Know why you eat and hammer it in your head that you eat to survive, not to party. Ingrain, absorb and chew on this thought – it will help you become stronger mentally and help you avoid all kinds of junk and “just one more” foods.

3. Do not touch fat foods or drinks: For example, Mayonnaise has enough calories to fill even your saliva with fat – avoid it. Avoid alcohol; Avoid junk food; Avoid carbonated beverages – even the “diet” variety because they are loaded with sugar. Read food labels carefully and don’t buy anything with a lot of fat content. Avoid extra sugar and sweets intake – remember, even sugar-substitutes, such as honey, are fat givers. Avoid restaurant food – it’s rich, sauced, creamy and waiting to inject fat cells into you.

4. Gather with a support group of dieters and diet along with them. Being in a group can help your diet cause.

5. Avoid frying your food – instead bake, broil or roast your food. Don’t forget to remove fat from your meat before baking, broiling or roasting it.

6. Eat less and eat more often. Break up your meals into small portions and have them 4–5 times a day (not 10–15 times). Schedule your eating times and remember not to eat just before going to bed because all that food you just ate will get converted to fat because sleep will make you inactive, thereby preventing the burning of fat.

7. Drink loads of water everyday, about 8 glasses daily. Water is like a flush system – the water pressure forces out the wastes in your body and keeps your internals in good, clean shape.

8. Chew your food slowly and eat it with leisure – never hurry through your meals and swallow food instead of chomping hard on it.

9. EXERCISE! You need to exercise – whether you’re on a diet or not, it’s that important. Exercise pumps up your metabolic rate and, in turn, your metabolism burns up your fat faster.

10. Never ever starve yourself while on a diet as starvation plays havoc with your body because your intestines keep secreting acids and there’s no food to absorb them, so the acids go back into the intestines and spoil its lining.

These were our top 10 tips on making your diet a huge success. Follow them and show patience and perseverance because you’re not going to lose weight overnight – it’s going to take at least a few weeks for the first signs of fat-loss to show up. Monitor yourself weekly and, well, happy dieting!
