In order to lose weight healthfully and successfully keep it off, you should look at your eating. Strict diets teach you willpower. Strict diets leave you feeling deprived of one of life's pleasures - food. Rather than diet , you should learn how to healthfully eat diet portions of any food that you currently enjoy and would like to eat throughout the rest of your life.
Healthful eating offers more long-term success than crash dieting.
The following eating tips can help you successfully lose weight plus have energy to train hard and exercise at your best. Expect to gradually lose weight at a realistic rate of one-half to three pounds per week depending on your body size and total amount of fat you have to lose. If you eat very few calories during the day but then over-eat at night, experiment with eating a bigger breakfast, lunch and a planned afternoon snack. Then you will be less hungry at night and better able to eat a smaller dinner. By giving yourself permission to eat more calories during the day, you will not only have more energy to exercise, you will also prevent yourself from getting too hungry.
