This is the #1, numero uno, top of the list, one word Diet tip for you to get yourself where you want to be .

...... Planning......

Yes its that simple. Even if you have a mediocre diet plan and are missing a few elements to dial you into extreme fat loss or weight management, you are still ahead of the game if you have a meal plan and stick to it.

Here is a scenario ( I know this one too well) - You decide you are ready to drop some pounds before the big holiday party or reunion or wedding, and you know basically what to eat, ... less carbs, more protein and veggies. So you start your day with that in mind.

Coffee for breakfast and off you go.
About mid day you get a bit hungry, look around for your options and can only find the nearest coffee cart or fast food place. Neither of which will really help. SO you settle on one little scone, oh, and a non-fat latte, or get suckered into something worse because you are hungry and it wont hurt just this once.

Lunch comes, didn't bring one with you so you head out and get a salad. Good. try to keep the dressing light and hold the croutons. Ok safe there.

Mid-day no snack so you venture to the machine where the ever present low fat pretzels, trail mix and other delights are waiting. You make a selection, most likely low-fat because you are paying attention, but likely high carb because you choices are limited.

Dinner you rummage through the fridge or grab something for the kids, and yourself because you are too tired to cook ( i know I am). Not the best for your diet plan.

You get the idea. So at the end of your day you end up with a high carb, low protein, fruit and veggie deficient diet. NOT GOOD for you fat loss.

Bottom line is you need to plan to succeed. Here are a few tips:

  1. Start on Sunday and plan out your week (roughly)
  2. Go shopping so you have the foods you need
  3. Keep the foods that will encourage Fat loss in your refrigerator or at your desk
  4. Write down a Plan of specific meals and times to stay on track, if its written you don't need to think about it.
  5. Stay on the plan and get a friend to do it with you. Accountability is a great thing. Use me to help you too.

I keep hearing the same line over and over lately, probably because its true ---

Fail to Plan, Plan to fail.

It works for almost everything in life - particularly your weigh loss program.

Don't let a great diet plan get knocked off track by a poor plan. You can do it.

Call me if you need help you with your plan

Be well
