Easy Dieting Tips

Most people fall off of diets because they are too strict with themselves. If you are thinking of starting a diet, why not first think of just one or two things that you are willing to eliminate in your diet for this week? Taking things slowly and easing into a new routine can really make all of the difference. Here are a few suggestions.

1. Cut out soft drinks - See if you can live without caloric drinks for this week.
2. Say goodbye to one dessert this week - If you usually eat a lot of desserts, see if you can pass on one of them this week. Or, if you eat three desserts a day, see if you can pass on one each day.
3. Eliminate one unhealthy habit - Think of one habit that you can stop just for this week. Say goodbye to the 10 pm snack, or get rid of the potato chip bags, or think of another example for yourself.
