Forget about all the faddy, hip diet plans that you see on the TV, in the news and on the internet the number one secret is simply just to eat healthy meals.

Secret number TWO

Is not just about exercise but to take part in regular exercise. This doesn’t necessarily mean having to join a gym or health club, it can simply mean taking the stairs instead of the lift or walk to the shops in stead of using the car, these are the simple steps you can take to start off your exercise program, doing this 3 to 4 times in a week can, after a few weeks give you the confidence to try some other form of exercise, maybe try swimming or an aerobics class, by introducing some form of exercise into your daily routine it becomes second nature and you will begin to feel better and healthier

If you remember to start things slowly and not do things to quickly then you can design an exercise plan than suits both you and your daily routine, if you are wondering where to start then there are plenty of health and fitness magazines that give good sound advice, Also searching the internet for health and diet plans can be a good start. Both of these secrets can start you on your journey to weight loss and a healthy lifestyle

Secret number THREE

Is portion control, especially when you go out for a nice dinner, Now I know you want to enjoy yourself and you don’t want to be thinking about the number of calories you are eating and you also don’t want to settle for one of the “healthy” options on the menu. The secret is you don’t have to, you simply have to think about the size of the portion you order. Now, these days most restaurants serve huge portions, and that’s where you can get yourself into trouble when eating out. The secret to eating out, without spoiling your day, is to have your waiter control the portion size for you. It’s becoming much more acceptable for diners to ask for a portion of their meal to be served, and the other half to be put into a doggy bag to take away.

The thing is, when you eat out, it’s easy to feel some guilt if you leave without cleaning your plate. You’re spending your hard-earned money on that food, and when you leave some food on your plate, your mind sees that as a waste of money. So if you have smaller portions you can eat everything on your plate and your subconscious mind feels really pleased.
