保持減肥動力

減肥的方法五花八門，但是殊途同歸，最終目標都是控制體重,但大家又是持甚麼理由向這個目標奮進呢?正所謂「名不正則言不順」，若想減肥成功，則需要有明確的動力，才能堅持到底。


減肥動力 成功關鍵

隨著科技的進步，人們大多可從不同的途徑，如報章、雜誌或互聯網上，得到控制動體重的知識，例如各式的餐單、運動的方法等，但為甚麼還會有人減肥不成功？


曾經有位太太希望體重超標的丈夫可以減肥成功，不過，她的丈夫一向不注重體形，身體也没有甚麼毛病，令他覺得没有必要去減肥，欠缺減肥的動力。但經過太太多次催促，最後他惟有從命去見營養師。大半年過去，他的體重只是略為減輕數磅而已，減肥效果並不明顯。


目標明確 事半功倍

所謂「知易行難」，關鍵在於減肥的動力。要減肥成功，需要保持減肥的動力。減肥的動力源自減肥的出發點或目的，有些人會希望可以變得美麗、自信、容易買衫等理由而決定減肥。有些人或會希望改善健康，也有些人會因為打算結婚而減肥，每個人減肥的目的有不同。有了充分的減肥理由後，便能成為你的動力，這才是成功減肥的第一步。

要減肥成功，自我內在的因素首要是必須樂意和有動力，因為減肥所作出的改變，需要當事人付出很多努力。若處於一個被動的階段，心態上未預備好要改變生活和飲食習慣，效果自然遜色。測試動力的簡單方法，是不妨問問自己為甚麼要減肥，目的是甚麼。

此外，磅數愈重的人，需要控制體重的日子愈長，在一段時間後更需檢討減肥的目標，保持減肥的動力。因為減肥日子愈長，動力便會愈少。

Maximise Your Healthy Dieting

There are some tips on healthy diet:

- Eat at least five portions of fresh fruit and vegetables every day. Frozen and canned vegetable can also be used.

- Trim any visible fat off meat and remove any skin from poultry.

- Vary you choices as much as possible to ensure the widest range of nutrients in your diet.

- Eat at least two portions of fish a week, of which one should be oily fish.

- Try to avoid eating more than ten eggs per week as these are particularly high in cholesterol. People with high blood cholesterol are advised not to eat more than four eggs per week, although each individual should check with their doctor.

- Aim to keep your salt intake to no more than 6g a day (about 1 level teaspoon). As well as limiting the amount of table salt you add to food, watch out for salt added to manufactured foods and sauced. Try flavouring foods with herbs and spices instead.

- Remember the least recommendations regarding intake of fluids, which is to aim for 6-8cups, mugs or glasses of any type of fluid per day (excluding alcohol).

- Choose a milk allowance each day from the following:
350ml/12fl oz skimmed milk
250ml/8fl oz semi-skimmed milk
175ml/6fl oz whole milk
250ml/8fl oz calcium-enriched soya milk, sweetened or unsweetened.

- Or if you prefer cheese rather than milk, choose a cheese allowance from the following:
28g/1oz Cheddar
28g/1oz Edam
28g/1oz Gouda
42g/1½oz Mozzarella
42g/1½oz reduced-fat Cheddar/Cheshire

- Drink black tea, coffee (sweetened with artificial sweetener) and low-calorie drinks freely and use fat-free French or vinaigrette-style salad dressings freely.

Are you ready?

Are you ready to start diet plan / weight loss program?

Most of the girls/boys always start starving instead of eating to lose weight. Actually, I do not think using the starvation strategy to keep your body slim and healthy is the best way. If you can read these related to healthy articles with a familiar way, you will be attracted. And you will know and learn some good ideas between health and diet. These articles will give you more benefits and ideas to kill two birds with one stone.

The following articles have menus and recipes for you to get started on and I know that you will enjoy the variety and the feeling of losing weight comfortably. Here are some tips to ensure your success.

- Be realistic - gradual and small changes made your eating habits are easier to keep up long-term.

- Set your mini-targets, such as 1.5kg/3lb, then 4kg/half a stone, etc. Reaching a mini-target for weight loss can be a great motivation booster and will encourage you to continue with your planned weight loss. Reward yourself when you reach your mini-target with a special treat that's not food related.

- Set motivating goals for yourself, e.g. being able to walk upstairs without getting breathless, being able to join in activities with your children, fitting into clothes that are several sizes smaller.

- Use lots of flavouring such as fresh herbs, garlic, lemon juice, chilli, and Worcestershire sauce. These will hel yous (help you) to lessen your reliance on all those higher-calorie sauces.

- Make a list of the reasons why you hate being overweight, why you want to slim and what you look forward to when you've lost weight. Keep it handy and look at it whenever your motivation flags.

- Boost the variety in your meals. Lack of variety is a great slimming tripwire.

- Don't ban any foods from your slimming plan. Always include your favourite foods as part of your healthy balanced diet.

- Whatever you do, don't punish yourself or try to make up for it later. A cycle of restriction and bingeing is very uncomfortable as a diet method and can't be sustained. Just put yesterday behind you and get straight back on track with your plan.

- Set increased activity goals. This doesn't necessarily mean joining a gym. It means adding extra everyday movement into your life. A recent study shows that people who simply fidget a lot keep their weight more stable than those of us who sit entirety motionless. So as small a move as a fidget can help create the leaner body you want. Get exercise-aware - stairs are exercise, dancing is exercise, walking is exercise, gardening is exercise. Add a couple more sessions of normal activity into your daily routines. Go slowly, check with your GP though, and aim to sustain whatever activity you have chosen.

- Support could make a crucial difference to your success. Tell chosen trusted friends or family that you're ready to start diet plan / weight loss program and that it's important to you. Ask for support and encouragement.
