Starting Your Diet - May I Take Your Order Please?

If you’re thinking about going on a diet, answering the following questions before you begin dieting may help make dieting smooth sailing!

What day of the week would be best to begin my diet?

99% of diets begin on a Monday.  It’s a fresh start, the first day of the new week.  In fact, it’s a great starting point.  

The weekend is very difficult to get through with all the temptation just staring you in the face.  There’s bar-b-ques, ice cream, movie popcorn, all those luscious commercials on television – you can’t get away from food no matter how hard you try.

Whatever day of the week that you decide to begin your diet, start planning your attack.  A prepared student generally gets high marks; it is the same way with dieting.

It’s rare when anyone states breakfast as their favorite time of day to eat.  Generally, it’s in the mid-afternoon or late evening hours when those gnawing pains of hunger hit.  Late evening eating can wreck a diet, even low-calorie/low-fat eating and snacking.

What are my favorite foods?

  Are my fitness goals reasonable?

Making a plan before setting out is vital to achieving Diet Success.  Learn all you can about your current diet habits, then work your new diet around what you learn, turning unhealthy habits into healthy habits that will last a lifetime, not just through diet-time.
