Top habits of successful dieters: Wash, rinse and repeat
It may sound silly to say that HABIT is one of the key habits of successful dieters, but it's true ...
Having a routine that seldom changes is important to having a productive, successful life and in this case, a successful weight-loss lifestyle. Your food, exercise, relaxation and sleep - the most important areas in a weight-loss plan - should be dialled in and stay that way. The more consistently you stick to your plan, the more positive the results will be.
One of the keys to this seems to be the elimination of choice
If you decide to wake up at 5am every day and go to the gym, you will get it right most days once you're in the routine. However if you allow yourself to sleep until whatever time and then maybe go to the gym if you feel like it ... well, you know how that one ends.
Likewise with food, having set meals for at least one or two mealtimes per day is a really good way to keep your intake on track. I have a set breakfast and a pretty set lunch, with slight variations.
Dinner is the only meal of the day where I allow myself some choice [Tweet this] in what I eat. It works because I know my breakfast and lunch (66% of my meals) are perfect for my diet plan, so my stress levels related to food are much lower too.Try it
If you are serious about losing weight, put some fixed routines in place and stick to them for four weeks. I'd be VERY surprised if you didn't notice a difference in your weight, your productivity and your general sense of achievement.
