A Successful Weight Loss Plan is Incomplete Without These 3 Essential Behavior Modifications
If you have been trying to create a successful weight loss plan without results or
with results that are coming slower than you would like then you might be missing 3 key ingredients in your plan. This article shares 3 essential behavior modifications which are at the heart of a successful weight loss plan. 1. Know how to distinguish between head hunger and true physical hunger. Do you find yourself looking for something to eat even when your stomach is full? This is head hunger and it can sabotage the best laid diet plan. Get back in touch with true hunger by taking a few moments during the day to rate your hunger on a scale of 0 to 10. If your hunger is below 4 it is time to eat, if it is over 4 you can wait. 2. Stop when you KNOW you are full. You will know intellectually that you have eaten enough food before your brain gets the message that you are full so have a way of stopping before you overeat. A great way is to chew a piece of gum or suck on a peppermint breath mint. These behaviors are incompatible with continuing your meal. 3. Become more mindful of your food. People without a weight problem tend to be mindful eaters. Slow down and chew your food thoroughly remembering to swallow everything in your mouth before you take another bite. This makes you focus on eating more and it will help you make better eating decisions. A successful weight loss plan is not complete without learning some set behavior modifications. This article shares 3 basic changes you can make to your behaviors to naturally eat less and make your weight loss plan more successful.
