6 Steps For A Good Diet Plan

"Why shouldn't I lose weight as fast as I can?"




Step 1 -- Find where you are now

The more directly you face a problem -- any problem -- the easier it is to solve.

A real solution includes planning.

Planning starts with:

  • Current weight?
  • Body composition?
  • Likes and dislikes?
  • How disciplined are you?
  • How able to make changes?

Step 2 -- Set your goals

You should set firm goals. These include:

  • Weight -- short term
  • Weight -- long term
  • Body composition
  • Time

Short term weight -- the first 10 or 20 pounds. Celebrate that. It's reachable.

But don't sell yourself short. Long-term goal? Lean and sexy. Muscular. Trim.

Body composition? Lose fat, not muscle.

Time? The most successful weight loss is sure and steady. Not fast. Not drastic. It takes time.

Step 3 -- Make your goals real

How? First, invent you new body. Pick your:

  • Dress size
  • Waist size
  • Hips
  • Thighs

Dream it up and write it down.

Find a picture to go with it. That's how you're going to look. Put a copy on your refrigerator. Another one on your mirror.

Second, decide how you'll get there:

  • What can you do?
  • What will you do?

Step 4 -- Activate your goals

How? Commit yourself. Write it down.

  • What will you accomplish?
  • When will you accomplish it?

Then post it: On the mirror. In your journal. But only post it where you have complete trust. Any chance someone will see it that does not support you 100% at all times? Then never let them see your goals.

"Lose weight" is not a goal.

  • 25 pounds is a goal.
  • 3 months is a goal.
  • Size 8 is a goal.

Goals are exact. Numbers. Dates. Nothing wishy-washy.

Clear goals = clear path to success.

Step 5 -- Don't overlook the details

It's the little things that count. There's no magic bullet.

Looking for an instant solution? Stop looking. It won't happen.

  • Little steps add up to big results.
  • Weight is gained -- and lost-- on the details.
  • Small tips have power to transform.

Will it make you healthier? Stronger? Leaner? Then use it.

Step 6 -- Adjust and balance

Your plan should lead to success. Not failure.

Not "papa bear" too hard. Or "mama bear" too easy. But "baby bear" just right.

  • No treats? No snacks? No pizza? Too hard.
  • Daily drive-through? Chips? Cheeseburgers? Too easy.
  • 90% healthy during the week? Fun food Saturday night? You're in balance.

Balance exercise. Diet. Sleep. Supplements. Free time. Friends. It all matters.

The key: Don't do things that make you fail.
