Know Your Outcome

Fitness Tip: Know your outcome – You need to have specific goals to ensure a positive outcome. Get a photo (or several) of what you will look like when you reach your goal. Negative thinking only wastes your time and energy, so quickly erase any negative beliefs or images that may enter into your mind during your day. By focusing on your goal, you can make the right choices for each day and not get discouraged by anything negative that occurs.

Use a Smaller Plate

Fitness Tip: Use a smaller plate – Most houses have a collection of more than one set of dishes and usually they all vary in size. So, when you have a family dinner and the table doesn’t have to look perfect, set the table giving yourself the smallest plate you own. It holds a lot less food, but gives the appearance of normal servings. By using a smaller plate, you will naturally eat less food.

Drink A Bottle of Water Before You Eat

Increase the Number of Meals you Eat

Fitness Tip: Increase the number of meals you eat – On average, you should be eating some form of protein and vegetable combination that is low in fat and high in fiber every 2 -3 hours of the day. Doing so will give you a big advantage over those who only eat the normal 3 meals (or less) each day. As long as you don”t change your total daily calorie intake, you will burn more fat, increase your metabolism, and have more energy and focus throughout your day.
