I can understand why diet and exercises are so hard to follow for long time. You have to be really committed to reach the aimed results. Sure, you have tried many programs and you were very willing to complete them to the end; but every time you tried, it became harder and harder, so you lost hope.

You already have a lifelong daily routine that you fight very hard to change, in order to fit into the plan of a new diet program, that battle that suppresses your intentions. After each failure, you find yourself slipping deeper and deeper into your extra pounds, and eventually convince yourself that it’s okay to carry some extra weight.

You keep telling yourself, ‘If I just got lost some pounds from any diet program, it could challenge me to go further.’

I am going to give you some points here that you’ll find very beneficial. You can lose ten pounds in a month. Yes, you can do this.

How?!!
Believe it or not, just by making some changes in your daily habits and in the choices of what you eat, you’ll lose whatever pounds you want. Try it. You are not going to lose anything, except your excess weight, of course.

The very first thing you start with is BREAKFAST. If you just restrict it to healthy components and avoid snakes as much as you can, you’ll find yourself losing at least six pounds in four weeks.

You can do this by a minimal amount of effort, and you have a list of choices from which to choose to live a healthy lifestyle.

You have to be committed to a least three points on our list, and make them a part of your daily routine for four weeks. Or, if you like, you can make it a part of your life forever; that would be a good idea. If you’re committed to more than three points, that would be even better. The more points you apply, the more weight you will lose.
The shape of your body depends on two main categories:
A-What you eat. B-How you exercise.

When you decrease what you eat without exercising, your weight will decrease. This also occurs if you eat the same but exercise. However, when you decrease your meals and perform exercise, you will lose more weight faster, improve your overall health, maintain a proper weight for a long time, and never gain it back.

This is an easy way to shed pounds, but you have to be eager and willing to achieve best results. By changing lifestyle one can reach the target weight. You should choose at least three points from the list below and stick to them for four weeks. Do this and you will lose weight.

Needless to say, if you include more options, you will lose more weight faster. The critical question I pose is, “For how long will you keep yourself on track?” Will you maintain your behavior steadily for at least four weeks or more?

If you’re already successful with some of these options, do not count them as a part of the program. Also, you’ll note that some options are not applicable to you.

These are the options. Pick at least three for the next four weeks:

• Do not use or add salt to your food anymore.
• Do not use or add sugar to your food, including coffee, tea and cereals.
• Use water or skim milk (or 1%), instead of carbonated drinks (soda, pop).
• Take a multivitamin everyday.
• Eat baked, grilled or BBQ food, instead of fried (i.e., French fries, fried chicken and fried fish.)
• Eat fruit or rice cake in place of bagged potatoes, taco chips or chocolate candy.
• Eat 100% whole wheat bread, instead of white bread.
• Do not use creamy dressings or sauces at all, not even “light” or “reduced fat”.
• Instead of eating pre-sweetened cereals, eat whole grain cereal or oatmeal, and no sugar.
• Don’t ever think of donuts and pastries.
• Drink four glasses of water each day.
• Avoid regular or 2% milk and opt instead for 1% or skim milk.
• Cut your wine, beer and liquor consumption in half.
• Eat more fresh fruits, such as bananas, apples and pears.
• Eat a quantity of food no larger than your closed hand. For example, you can eat a handful of salad or vegetables, and maybe a small piece of meat as well. For desert, a small piece of fruit will be okay.
• Do not eat prior to bedtime. In other words, no snacks or meals within an hour before you retire.
• When you are going to buy anything, check the nutrition label and consider the lowest product in terms of sugar or calorie content.
• Red meat is allowed only once a week. Eat chicken or fish during the remaining days.
• No pork, ham, bacon or pork sausage.
• Use the stairs and do not use the elevators, especially if you are going down to the ground floor.v
• Exercise for twenty minutes once a week. You can run, walk, jog or bike.

Before starting any diet program, you should consult with your doctor first, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or are taking medicines.
By the end of four weeks, you will truly feel the difference.

Good luck!
