10 Points of Success

Now that you decided to change your life style, don't give up easily! Here are 10 points of success that you should consider 

1. Mind your carbohydrates intake (keep it below 100 grams)

    Remember that you are aiming for 50 - 100 grams of carbohydrates a day and enjoying 

    3  balanced meals and snacks in between. Carbohydrates are not merely from bread, 

    potato, or rice, but you can also get carbohydrates from your fibers intake (fruits and 

    salads).

2. Drink your water - the goal is 2,5 liters a day (the least)

    Water is good for you if your water is good. Be sure your water goes through quality filter. A lot of water will help bumping up your metabolism level.

3. Step it up! The goal is 8,000-12,000 steps a day

    Walking is wellness! You maybe wondering, where can I get more steps?

    - Take the stairs instead of lift

    - Park further from the office

    - Park at the other end of the shopping centre

    - Walk around the block during lunch time

    - Get up and walk around the office, minimize using the phone

    - Walk your dog in the evening

    - Walk with your kids in the evening

4. Eat! Remember, you should not be hungry and starve yourself

    Be sure to have protein snacks available - they do help controlling hunger and cravings. The best protein snacks should include a little carbohydrates and fat. Remember that in between the 3 regular meals, always insert snack time (3-6 times a day).

5. Remember to write down what you eat everyday

    Accountability is the key to success. By writing what you eat, you can keep track of how much calories you have taken, how many grams of carbohydrates you took, or is your diet rich enough.

6. Remember to take multivitamin

    It is recommended that all adults take multivitamin. An organically grown supplement is the best.

7. Keep Motivating yourself

    It is important to identify what is motivating you. By having a motivation, it's easier to "kick away" those negative thoughts that comes into your head. Baby steps are the key to achieving your ultimate goal.

8. Get a little fruity

    Have more fruits in your daily diet menu is good to help your weight loss, especially a citrus fruit.

9. Exercise more

    Besides the 8,000-12,000 steps a day, add more exercise by going to the gym. Hitting the gym won't be a bad idea. Try to do more circuit work and lightweight lifting and of course CARDIO training is essential.

10. Stay away from alcohol

     Stay as far as you can from alcohol as alcohol suppressed your hormone level by 75% and it also dehydrates your body because it absorbs water from your body.
