Candace's Weight Loss Program: 1.) First, you must avoid eating after dinner (usually after 6:00 P.M.). Eating right before you go to bed doesn't give your body a chance to digest the food you just put in it. All of the food turns directly into fat. 2.) You must eat healthy. I know this is hard. I always wanted to grab the fastest snack, which was usually potato chips. But by keeping fruits or veggies that you like handy, it lessens the temptation. Allow yourself one snack item a week. That snack can be anything you want it to be. Remember, dieting shouldn't be unbearable. 3.) DO NOT FAST. If you don't eat, your body thinks that it is starving and will hold the fat cells. 4.) Liquid diets do not work long term. As soon as you go back to normal eating, your gain back the weight. 5.) Brushing your teeth helps you to avoid snacking. 6.) Exercise Exercise Exercise. It is extremely important to develop an exercise program that you will stick with. Whether it be walking, jogging, swimming, weight training. Don't overtrain. 3 times a week is sufficient. |
