What You Can Do Right Now To Lose Weight
The first step in getting to where you're going (your goal
body weight, your health goals) is to
know where you're at right now with your current diet. If you're like most
people, you are probably making both good food choices and poor food choices and
your current diet is a mix of this. If you identify what your current eating
habits are and compare them to what they need to be to get results, you can
simply repeat the good decisions and remove the counterproductive ones and
you'll begin to get results right away. For some people, an assessment of their
current diet, followed by specific recommendations for changing key habits may
be all they need to lose weight. This is such an important step in reaching and
maintaining healthy body weight, yet it is overlooked by most major diet company
and programs! This is one major difference between getting professional
nutrition help and just following a "popular" diet.
When
you start your PersonalDiets plan, the first thing we do is assess your current diet.
We give you an eating survey to fill out that is very specific and covers food
choices, amounts of foods, and typical eating habits over time. This is scored
and calculated so that we can measure how close or far you are from an optimal
diet ( the way you need to eat to reach your weight and health goals). Then we
give you specific recommendations with each choice that will be in line with
your PersonalDiets Plan. This is really a helpful tool! You may be able to lose
weight by just following the simple recommendations we provide. This is
especially true if you have one or two specific habits that contribute a lot of
calories to your diet - an example of this if have a pretty decent diet, but
drink 3 or 4 sodas a day or eat several high calorie desserts each day. For
most people, though, the challenge with their current diet is that it consists
of a combination of a lot of eating choices that add up here and there to too
many calories, too much food, or in many cases not enough of the "right" food
choices. That's where following a program like the PersonalDiets Plan can help
because it gives you a very specific structured way of eating that balances the
right food in the right amounts all at once. If you're like most people, you'll
need a plan like this to get consistent and steady weight loss results,
especially if you are overweight and need to lose weight to help reduce your
risk of diseases and risk factors like high blood cholesterol, high blood
pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. Just doing one or two things to your diet
probably won't be enough to get the results you need!
