No More Diets - It's Routine

11th September 2005

Hi!

Sadly the weather is changing fast as autumn approaches.

Despite being a weight loss coach, I really am a fair weather exerciser. With the first sign of colder weather, the thought of running outside is enough to make me want to take a break. Some years in the past I completely gave up doing ANY exercise from about October to March or April. Now I just plan for the inevitable weather change and use home videos and a rebounder to keep up my fitness levels at home.

Let's face it, with the weather as changeable and rainy as it can be sometimes in SUMMER in Scotland, the home exercise equipment never has time to gather dust.

Hope you've found a good way to keep moving ALL year round.

Have a great week

Love

"The friendliest place to lose weight on the web"

Feature Article : It's routine

Losing weight is a battle, a struggle, a pain, right? That's most people's experience whatever diet they follow.

And nearly everyone finds keeping the weight off is even harder.

There's no doubt about it, the majority of diet and fitness regimes are hardly a bed of roses. And those pills, patches and potions, which are supposed to make it easy, are either dangerous or don't do what they promise.

So how CAN you make this easier?

The answer lies in your routines.

What you habitually do shapes you - quite literally. If you habitually go without breakfast and stuff your face at 11am with cookies because you're starving, you'll end up with one kind of body. If you habitually have a yogurt and fruit on waking and take an apple for 11am (when you'll still be starving) you end up with another kind.

If you habitually walk everywhere your shape is likely to be different than if you jump in the car to go a mile down the road.

Routines are just patterns of behaviour. Things we feel comfortable doing once we get used to them. We don't even have to think about them. They're easy for us - automatic.

The answer to easier weight loss AND KEEPING IT OFF then , is in adopting the right routines and habits so that we don't even have to think - we just do whatever is good for our shape - automatically.

The skill is in moving from one set of routines (the kind that keep you overweight) to another - the kind that will result in weight loss and then weight maintenance for the rest of your life.

An all-out drastic lifestyle change rarely works, but if you gently change your habits and build them gradually, taking on changes that you are happy to live with for life, then you WILL find a permanent automatic solution to your weight problems.

What routines are you following today? What small changes could you make which would be your first steps to permanent natural weight loss?

Change your habits step by step to lose that weight!

Dinner idea : "Souper"

Soup is a great way of filling you up with a great steaming plateful of food without piling on the pounds. With a wholemeal roll and a modest piece of cheese it's a meal in itself. A great way of getting your veggies too if you're not too keen on whole piles of them staring back at you from your dinner plate.

Soup is easy to prepare in advance - you can make and freeze a whole big potful in individual portions for the nights you come in ravenous and in need of fast comfort food. Or you can cook it extremely quickly in a pressure cooker if you're pushed for time. Some of the better quality ready made soups are good too (although watch the salt content) when you really do need something nutritious and warming NOW.

Q and A : Beating the bloat

"What do you do when you weight goes up and down due to fluid retention?" asked one member.

Simply Slimming's answer gave the most important advice to reduce bloating including
  • watching your intake of salt
  • increasing the amount of fresh water you drink
  • eating more potassium rich foods
  • increasing the level of beneficial oils in the diet a little
  • reducing starchy carbohydrates.
