10 Lessons For Weight
Loss and A Healthy Life
The
Habits to Nurture
Back Your Health9
Develop a Habit of Intention
How do you treat your new car,
house or spouse?
With intention and focus.
Keep your eye on the prize.
Your health is worth it.
Why are my pants too tight?
You’ve lost control of your health.
Use your clothing, your scale or your
blood pressure. Pick one and
measure weekly if possible.
Develop a Habit of Measuring
Don’t just proclaim your desire
to be healthy or lose weight.
Dig deeper.
What will happen if you don’t
develop a health habit? What
will you lose (time with kids,
activities, etc.)?
Make it personal.
Know your Why.
Develop The Habit of Why
Develop The Habit of Sleep
Eight hours of sleep provides the rest and recovery your
body needs, burning more fat and increasing your energy.
Turn off electrical devices one hour prior, read, snuggle or
take a bath.
Make the room as dark as possible. Like a cave.
Develop A Habit of Eating Whole Foods
Stick to the perimeter of the
grocery store where the meats
and produce are sold.
Avoid the inner aisles.
That’s where the poison, uh,
processed foods are kept.
Develop a Water Habit
Drinking 2 sodas per day for a
year adds 60 lbs. of sugar and
29 lbs. to your body.
You’d have to walk1,200 miles
to lose that caloric intake. But
you can’t walk off the damage
it will do to your body or your
insulin levels.
‘Nuff said.
Develop The Habit of Knowledge
Calories In/Calories Out - that’s
what they’ll tell you. I worked
out, so I can eat candy.
WRONG.
Question conventional wisdom.
Research long-held beliefs.
Think for yourself.
Develop a Process Habit
You’ll lose 30 pounds in 30 days.
Then what?
Your health isn’t a game, quickly
solved in four weeks.
It’s a process, not an outcome.
Enjoy the journey.
Convenience is not an excuse
for poor food choices.
Plan your meals using whole
foods that are lower in carbs
and chemicals.
Don’t have time?
(I’m not buying it.)
Buy a crock pot. Make
leftovers on the weekend.
Develop a Planning Habit
