Tips for a balanced diet and weight-loss plan: Make a priority list

(Fotalia: #57556533)

Make a priority list

Losing weight successfully takes a lot of effort. It requires you to change your habits, modify your social interactions, give away foods that aren't part of the plan, and a number of other things that are NOT within your comfort zone.

Making this tough task as easy as possible should be top of your list of things to do. What I'm often confused by though, is the insistence of people who have a lot of weight to lose to be concerned with the absolute minutiae of their diet.

If you are 10kg or more overweight, you probably don't need to worry about tracking your exact sodium intake every day, or making sure that you balance out all the colours of vegetables you are eating.

What I'm saying is, before you worry about the small stuff, get the big stuff right. Make a priority list.

Here are some suggestions of things that will make the biggest difference to your weight loss:

  • Eat at least 80% of your calories from vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds
  • Drink at least three litres of unsweetened liquids (mostly water) every day
  • Get at least six hours of sleep every night
  • Do some (real) exercise - the challenging sort
  • Don't eat sweets, fast food, deep fried foods
  • Don't use sugar

Once you're doing all of these consistently, you can worry about everything else.
