TO ATTAIN FITNESS YOU ALSO SHOULD CONSIDER YOUR EATING
HABIT. IF YOUR BMI (BODY MASS INDEX) CLASSIFICATION IS
OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE, TAKE A LOOK AT SOME WEIGHT LOSS
STRATEGIES THAT WOULD HELP YOU MANAGE YOUR WEIGHT
PROPERLY.

Make a commitment to change.

You must accept that you have a
problem and decide that you really
want to change.
Incorporate exercise into the
program. Choosing enjoyable
activities, places, time, equipment,
and friends to work out will help you
get motivated.
Avoid automatic eating. Many people
associate certain daily activities with
eating, for example cooking,
watching television or reading. Most
foods consumed in these situations
lack nutritional value or are high in
sugar and fat.
Stay busy. People tend to eat more
when they sit around and do nothing.
Try "junior size" instead of "super
size". People who are served larger
potions eat more, whether they are
hungry or not. Use smaller plates,
bowls, cups, and glasses.
Eat slowly and at the table only. Eating at the
table encourages people to take time out to eat
and deters snacking between meals. After eating,
do not sit around the table but rather clean up
and put away the food to avoid snacking.
Cut unnecessary items from your diet.
Substituting water for a daily can of soda would
cut calories from your diet.
Do not serve more food than you should eat.
Measure food in portions and keep serving
dishes away from the table
Think positive. Avoid negative thoughts about
how difficult changing past behaviors might be.
Instead, think of the benefits you will reap, such
as, feeling, looking, and functioning better, plus
enjoying better health, and improving the quality
of life.
