If it's your first time to try a weight loss diet, and you've decided to try the slow carb diet, you've made a good decision. Unfortunately, it's a decision that could make the first few days difficult. You can, however, ensure a slimmer, fitter, and prettier version of you reaches the finish line with the tips below.
Tip #1: Post reminders everywhere about your most important reasons for wanting to lose weight.
The first few days of any type of weight loss diet are always the toughest. Both your mind and body will have a hard time adjusting to the fact that you can't eat what you usually gorge yourself with.
Your mind will challenge your willpower, demanding why you can't eat as much cake as you want when it's not going to kill anybody. Your body will also try to tempt you into succumbing to those delectable sweets, using deceptively desperate and intense hunger pangs to convince you to do the wrong thing.
Having reminders all around you will prevent you from violating your diet. Post pictures of the times you were still confident enough to wear a bikini. If you last till the end of your diet, then the rewards will be more than worth every minute of your suffering.
Tip #2: Misery loves company, and it's true! So look for someone who follows the same diet that you do.
There will be days that following your slow carb diet can be absolutely frustrating. Speaking with others who had never tried to diet before would never understand your hardship. Most likely, they'll think that you're exaggerating or that you're being too lazy.
It's critical, however, that you look for someone who's also trying to lose weight. Hopefully, he or she is doing a low carb diet as well. This will allow both of you to commiserate with each other and give each other support when you're feeling down or you feel like giving up. If you can find yourself a group of friends with common objectives for losing weight, then so much the better! You'll have more fun that way!
Tip #3: Exercise!
Granted, this type of diet - especially with the addition of homeopathic pills - will not require you to do as much exercise as some kinds of diet do. But working out never hurts either. It will always make you feel stronger and better as well as improve your physique. Exercise also helps in toning your muscles - something that diets are rarely able to do or at least not as efficiently.
Tip #4: Pay attention to what you're eating.
Be meticulous. It's not enough to stay away from calories, carbs, cholesterol, and fats. It's also about paying attention to what you can eat. Increase intake of proteins. These will help convert fat to muscle and make you less prone to feeling hungry. Increase intake of vegetables, too. They offer you nutritional benefits without making you gain extra pounds.
With these four tips, the new and healthier version's you is sure to be just around the corner, waiting to emerge!
