5 Daily Diet Tips to keep you in shape!

1) Weigh yourself every day. That’s right ladies, mulling over whether or not you lost weight for 7 days in a row will cause you undue stress. If you are stressed out, the body tends to fall into the fight or flight syndrome and it tells the brain that it is hungry. The longer you delay weighing yourself, the more stressed and eventually the will power induces you to step off the wagon and that is plainly not how to lose weight. Weighing yourself everyday does not mean you are obsessive, especially if you understand that the body can gain and lose 6 pounds in one day thanks to water weight loss and gain.
2) Tell everyone around you about your diet. The more people you bring into your world about your journey with weight loss, the more people you will disappointment if you fail. No one wants to fail, so tell the world; post it on YouTube even.
3) Don’t forget your daily dose of exercise,make sure you get your 20 minutes in whether it be walking, running or yoga. Remember that 20 min of walking can burn up to 200 calories of fat(walking requires less quick energy and a higher percentage of fat is burned)depending on your weight and the speed you walk. Here’s a tip when I don’t feel like working out I take a my dog for a walk to my local grocery store.
4) Take a day off! Sit back and relax, watch a couple episodes of South Park. Again this hint falls back to your stress level. As you diet and you lose weight, the mind and the body will finally get tired of keeping an eye on every calorie and marking down every bit of food and drink that is consumed. But, that does not mean you cannot take a day off. On the weekends, eat until you are full but do not keep track of anything. The day after your day off, go right back to the rigorous routine you have been abiding by and you will feel like a million dollars because of the time off.
5) Consume caffeine and lots of it. Okay, maybe not too much. The caffeine you consume in a drink is the same as the caffeine that is included in diet pills, the only deviation is you can control the source of the caffeine. Green tea has been scientifically proven to improve weight loss efforts and caffeine has been scientifically proven to increase metabolism, so why not mix them together. Hot green tea in the morning in place of that cup of coffee will also help reduce the amount of calories you consume during the day.
