THERE ARE SEVERAL DIETS ANDLIFESTYLE CHANGE PROGRAMSOUT THERE, BUT HOW DO YOU
KNOW WHICH ONE IS LEGITAND WILL WORK FOR YOU IN
THE LONG RUN?
DIETS ARE A TEMPORARY FIX
THEY WORK, BUT ONLY FOR A SHORTAMOUNT OF TIME
ONCE YOU STOP AND GO BACK TOYOUR OLD HABITS, THE WEIGHT
CREEPS UP AGAIN
DIETS OFTEN RESTRICT WHAT YOUCAN EAT . THEY DO NOT ADDRESS
CHANGING YOUR HABITS AND THEWAY YOU THINK ABOUT FOOD
A LIFESTYLE CHANGE WORKSBECAUSE IT CHANGES YOUR
HABITS THAT ARE LEADING YOUTO WEIGHT GAIN DEPENDING ON YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION
THERE ARE MANY MARKETERSTHAT USE LIFESTYLE CHANGETERMINOLOGY WHEN THEY
ARE ACTUALLY ADVERTISINGANOTHER DIET
HERE ARE A FEW WAYS YOU CANTELL A DIET FROM A
LIFESTYLE CHANGE PROGRAM
Many Restrictions
Any program that tells you to
restrict/omit certain foods when
you do not have a specific health
condition like, Type II Diabetes or
food sensitivities, is likely a diet.
For most people without health
conditions, you can eat all foods
as long as you learn how to
balance them appropriately
Counting, counting, &more counting
Counting calories, fat, carbs, or
anything does not address habits,
it becomes a temporary fix
A lifestyle change will highlight
how to balance your meals and
what foods to eat more of daily
This type of insight naturally
lowers your calorie level, fat, carbs,
etc. with no counting necessary.
Eating the same menudaily or weekly
Eating planned meals instead of
learning how to meal plan on your own
is similar to counting calories, it
provides a temporary fix
Your old habits are still on standby
when you get bored.
Look for a program that gives you
simple steps on how to meal plan on
your own. It is okay to use structured
meal plans to get started, but make
sure you are also getting support so you
can do it on your own
The same programfor everyone
Is this plan personalized just for you?
It should be, because no two people
are alike.
For example, if you are in your 50's
and have Type II Diabetes, your diet
recommendations for weight loss
will drastically differ from a 25 year
old with no health issues.
You are unique and need a
personalized plan
Promises quickresults
A dramatic weight loss in a short
amount of time can damage the body
by losing muscle, bone, and water too
quickly.
You should only be losing about 1/2
pound to 1 pound a week
No Exercise Needed
Be suspicious of diet plans that
do not require you to exercise. This
does not change your behavior
towards a healthy lifestyle.
Physical activity is important in
weight loss and helps provide long
term health benefits
Aim for at least 30 to 60 minutes of
physical activity most days of the
week
Good Foods vs Bad Foods
A good lifestyle program should
educate you on how to see food.
Foods are often differentiated as
'good' food or 'bad' food, but all foods
can be bad and good, depending on
how much of it you consume.
Of course, there are foods that are
better for you, but nothing is off limits
as long as it does not conflict with
your health ie. diabetes, food
allergies, etc.
Moderation is key
LIFESTYLE CHANGE IS ABOUT
CHANGING HABITS
MANY PROGRAMS PROVIDE A HYBRIDOF SOME QUICK FIX LIKE COUNTING
CALORIES OR STRUCTURED MEALPLANS AND SUPPORT TO MAKE LONG-
TERM CHANGES
WHEN CHOOSING A PROGRAM MAKESURE IT INCLUDES GUIDANCE FOR
MAKING CHANGES AND NOT JUST AQUICK FIX
