Cake, candy, chocolate, cookies, ice cream, mousse,…
…it’s a challenge to stay on a diet that strictly forbids these! At least, that is my take on it and I have struggled with my weight for many years. But, there is one strategy to “have your cake and eat it, too”.
The best way to be a thin “dessert cheat” is to keep sweets out of the house!
This may sound like something that is so simple and why am I even saying this? But, it is HUGELY important. At least, it is everything for my weight control and something that many live by. Have an ice cream or cookie dessert before Saturday morning shopping or occasionally after work. And, best to reduce calories of other food eaten that day. In addition, follow other diet habits that fit your lifestyle.
Not much more to say about this – such a simple thing.
Weight Loss Statistics are not good for long term maintenance – less than 20% of dieters maintain a 10%+ loss for over a year (according to The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)
It is practically impossible for many to maintain a strict diet for the long term. This is a reason why it is helpful to learn good habits during weight loss so that the maintenance phase is successful.
A good way to do this is to avoid temptation and stock only healthy foods in one’s kitchen pantry.
Good luck to all my dieting friends…may we all find success!
