5 new rules to live by if you want to live a trim lifestyle

5 new rules to live by if you want to live a trim lifestyle.

1) Stay active. This means get off the couch and quit watching so much TV. Quit taking the elevator or escalator. quit living your life trying to "relax" or conserve energy by exerting less.

2) never skip breakfast. The first meal of the day sets the tone of your metabolisms. Skip it and you could very well cause your metabolism to drop up to 50% for the rest of the day (which could very well explain why so many people still gain fat even on  one 500 meal day diet)

3) Always be mindful of what you eat & drink: Just like budgeting your money and watching your spending. Not paying attention to what & how you spend money could leave you broke before your next paycheck, is not different than eating whatever you want, whenever it is convenient, etc, could lead to you gaining fat. Plan out your meals, always be aware of what you are consuming and how much, and never ever eat mindlessly. The Autopilot Diet WILL make you fat... and miserable

4) Quit "fad dieting" (those so called "secret" "revolutionary" etc. Bullshit type... they don't work).  Believe it or not, these BS diets guarantee your lack of success, and more money for the seller because they know you will quit or not succeed then hunt down the next "revolutionary" thing. Which they will cheerfully offer you again and again and again!

5) Be realistic about what being trim means to you and why you want it. Do not for one second think that happiness and being fit & trim guarantees happiness.  If this were the case, anorexics would be happier people than they are.  Accept the fact that being happy comes from within your soul.  If you want to be happy, you don't need to lose weight for it. If you think losing weight will make everyone like you; guess again. It's not uncommon for weight loss winners to endure bouts of haters and jealousy, then cave in only to gain all the weight back.  If you think being fit & trim will make you attractive to the opposite sex; guess again, again!  Attraction is more from the inside than the outside. Sure, it might turn a few heads, but will it turn their hearts....?  That is up to you and what you offer from the inside !!!!
