Tips for a balanced diet and weight loss plan: Shhhh … Don’t tell THEM

Can you keep a secret?

When you embark on a BALANCED weight loss plan (one which includes real foods like fruits and vegetables as the major source of calories and nutrients) you might run into some ‘armchair’ experts who try to tell you all about what you’re doing wrong …

How do they know?

They watched the celeb doctor show on TV, read it in a magazine somewhere, or heard it from a friend. They will try to share their completely un-scientific, un-researched advice with you while munching a packet of crisps and adding extra bacon to their white bread sandwich.

These people get defensive, offended, even angry when you tell them you're going to try to eat real food to reach your weight loss goals, and build a healthy lifestyle.

The solution?

Keep your weight loss plan vague when talking to negative people. They won't help you or encourage you anyhow.

In fact, all they will do is tell you it's not going to work for you and make you feel miserable - because that's how they feel.

Share your plan and goals with people who will lift you up, keep it a secret from those who need to drag you down to feel better about themselves.

See the balance in this? I can.
