Who doesn’t like to make their New Year’s resolutions last throughout the year? In this segment, which aired in January 2009 on Better TV, I share easy tricks that allow you to ditch the diet and still lose weight!
In my discussion with Audra Lowe, I touched on many aspects that I am also teaching in my Ditch the Diet email course, including why radical fad diets can be harmful or why resisting your guilty pleasures may actually put on the pounds!
Fad diets can make you cranky or stressed out, and are too often hard to follow. That’s why part of my easy solutions focus on the following:
- The trick to healthy eating and losing weight is not depriving yourself. How? It’s easy when you prepare your favorite foods at home and cut out unnecessary fat while maintaining taste.
- Eating more at home not only saves you money, but also calories. It puts you in control of portion sizes as well as fat and fiber content.
- One of the most important concepts is to stop skipping meals, which means that you should really start your day with an appropriate breakfast. This will keep your insulin and metabolism balanced, which in turn reduces snack attacks.
How Do I Start?
