| Weight management is a lifestyle. If you understand that any diet saying you can lose weight without reducing calories and/or increasing your physical activity is misleading, then you are ready for lifestyle changes. Every successful weight management lifestyle includes healthy physical behaviors, primarily healthy eating and exercise, and just as importantly, should provide a conscious mindset and objective mental plan that allows you to stay focused on your goals when potential setbacks arise. Because we all have to eat, without an awareness of how your mind works around issues of food, commitment, and self-care, you will simply, eventually, revert to your prior lifestyle habits. Habits can be changed and new behaviors learned. |
