So, your New Year resolution is to lose those extra pounds piled over Christmas and New Year holidays? Before you begin any fast weight loss solution, be it a diet pill or a diet plan, let me tell you the secrets of successful weight losers.
The National Weight Control Registry at www.nwcr.ws has collected data on people who’ve shed a significant amount of pounds and kept their weight off.
Here are the successful weight losers’ secrets:
* 78% eat breakfast every day. This doesn’t mean grabbing a donut on the way to work. Make sure you eat a healthy meal like an egg-white omelet and whole-wheat toast.
* 62% watch less than 10 hours of TV per week.
* 90% exercise about one hour per day. The most frequently reported form of activity is walking.
* 75% weigh themselves at least once a week.
* If a bad weigh-in sends you to the cookie jar for comfort instead of to the gym for revenge, skip the scale and keep an eye on how your clothes fit.
To keep your weight off permanently, you really have to maintain a low calorie, low fat diet and doing high levels of activity!
