Lose Weight – Improve your Health – Change your Lifestyle
- Decide to change. Commit yourself to finding a new way. Stop bargaining; let go of the old way.
- Become willing to follow all the rules of your weight-loss-plan, even the ones you don’t like.
- Practice self-discipline. Cheating is not an option.
- Follow your doctor’s health recommendations, all of them, even the stupid ones.
- Take your medications everyday and on time.
- Sleep 8 hours at night.
- Exercise at least 20 minutes a day. Work up to 30 to 60 minutes a day.
- Listen to a portable CD or tape player while you exercise.
- If possible exercise with a family member, friend or pet.
- Drink at least 64 oz of water a day, it keeps you full.
- Chew ice between meals, it’s crunchy and calorie free.
- Get all tempting foods out of the house.
- Eat breakfast every morning.
- Only eat when you’re hungry. Always stop when you’re full.
- Do not eat when you’re bored, tired, lonely or in need of comfort.
- Learn to tell the difference between hunger and appetite.
- Eat at the table; not your desk, not your car, not your livingroom.
- Eat slowly. This gives your body time to register that it’s full.
- Place your fork or spoon down between bites.
- Chew every bite thoroughly.
- Brush your teeth between meals and after snacks.
- Eat at least 4 servings of veggies and 3 or 4 servings of fruit every single day.
- Cook and eat more whole grains, they keep you fuller longer.
- Trim the fat from your diet. Choose lean meats and low fat products.
- Cook and eat homemade foods as often as possible.
- Every day write down everything you eat. It keeps you honest and prevents plateaus.
- Keep the kitchen clean and the dishes done. You can’t cook and eat healthy foods in a dirty environment. It’s just too hard.
- Find a diet buddy or diet program, preferably both.
- Practice generosity. Give of yourself, your spirit and your time. Be nice to people who don’t deserve it.
- Practice forgiveness for yourself and for others. Keep getting back on the horse, no matter how many it throws you.
- Pray & read your bible, every single day.

While chewing ice might be a good short term solution to losing weight, it will cost you thousands in dental repair!
