No More Diets - 7 days to a Slim new you

22nd August 2005

Hi!

I had a very indulgent weekend this week with a spa facial at the Cowshed in Edinburgh on Saturday and a 2-hour lunch to follow. Delicious healthy food to linger over with friends and only 2 courses. If the eating out experience was always so much fun and healthy delicious choices were always available at restaurants then we could all do it more often without damaging our waistlines.

Sunday the sun shone like the Mediterranean but this is Scotland!

Hope you enjoyed your weekend too

Love

Feature Article : 7 days to a slim new you

I've lost count of the number of articles I've seen with those tempting titles "Lose 10 lbs in 4 days", "Firm the flab fast", "Get a bikini body in just 10 days". They're so seductive aren't they? Yet I want to shout "Liar, Liar pants on fire!" because any weight loss of more than 1 to 2 lbs a week is not fat loss. It's just water that you'll put straight back on – or even worse, pure solid muscle – the stuff that burns calories!

But what can you do in 7 days then?

• You can kick start your weight loss program by starting to eat a healthier diet so that you lose those 1 or 2 lbs of fat this week
  
• You can begin a fitness program which will take you to a leaner, stronger, fitter body in a few short months
  
• You can set some realistic goals and think about why you want to lose weight so you can keep your motivation strong when the going gets tough
  
• You can turf all the fattening stuff out of your fridge, freezer and kitchen cupboards
  
• You can get rid of all your unflattering fat clothes, keeping just a few good things and clear out space for a fantastic new slim wardrobe
  
• You can look out some new healthy recipes
  
• You can explain your plans to your family and friends and ask for their support so they don't offer you tempting treats or drag you out for pizza (or at least understand when you say "No, not tonight")
  
• You can buy some running or walking shoes and sports gear and get ready for action
  
• You can start to become more aware of everything you eat and how you feel before and after so that you can work out why you overeat.
  
• You can start to eat only when you are hungry and stop when you are just satisfied rather than stuffed.

Oh yes! You can do a whole lot in 7 days – not in physical weight loss – although every pound or two counts, but in getting yourself ready to make the changes leading to the body of your dreams. This week you can begin the habits of a lifetime which will have you looking and feeling like a new person. Why not start today?

Tip : Breathe away your weight

Did you know that you can increase your metabolism by practising better breathing habits? You can gradually improve by taking deep breaths several times a day, whenever you think of it and eventually deep breathing will become the norm for you. If you are a member of the Simply Slimming online slimming club you can get the full article at http://www.simplyslimming.com Remember 3 months membership is included when you buy the Diet Exit Plan.

Dinner idea : Marinate plain food

To cheer up plain chicken or salmon try marinading for half an hour before cooking - extra flavour without adding too many extra calories. Marinade generally tenderizes meat too. There's no need for healthy food to be boring. You can buy ready-made marinades in the shops - just watch out for the additives and calories.

Also see the new recipe for Teriyaki Salmon in the members' area for a marinade with a Far Eastern flavour.

Q and A : Home comfort

One of our members has been telling us about a problem sticking to her healthy eating habits when she is visiting her parents - the food there is so delicious. Simply Slimming offers advice about not being too hungry on arrival, setting positive intentions before the visit and asking support from her Mum for her goals.
