Diet resolutions- make 2016 your best year ever. Become healthy and lose weight in 2016

How to loose weight in this new year? Make diet resolutions that will give you awesome results through out the year.

1. Mission statement: make a mission statement and write on a nice piece of paper & read it everyday first thing in the morning. You can stick it in your wall or stick it on the journal keep it near bed side & read it when you get up. This will keep your focus on your health goal & will slowly rewire your mind into thinking healthy.

2. Divide your goal: make a goal and split it into several small goals to be achieved in a particular time frame. As you achieve the small goals, they will give you sense of accomplishment and will motivate you too move ahead step by step and soon you will have your victory.

3. De- junk: de- junk your house on last day of this year that is 31st december. Throw away all the junk food lined up in your fridge or kitchen cabinets and pledge not to bring in any junk in to your house. Repeat the process at the end of every month, if you have accidentaly brought any thing.

4. Food log: prepare a food log in which you right whatever you eat, along with the time. And read it before having each meal. This will guard you against any unconscious eating that you may be do during the day. This is a very powerful tool. You can also compensate well in the next meal if you have cheated earlier.

5. Hydrate: drink plenty of water during the day. Make use of several apps available, which remind you to have water from time to time. So that you wont confuse thirst with hunger and will feel fresh and active whole day.

6. Salad: make it a habit to add salad too every meal. Having salad 30 mins before meals makes you feel fuller and you tend to eat less and add minerals and vitamins to your diet.

7. Small portions: new year is a great time to bring in new crockery. Switch your crockery to smaller size. That way you will be taking smaller portions of food.

8. Exercise: make exercise part of your life. If you are not motivated then start with a simple leisure walk to enjoy the nature, gradually increase it when you start to like it. If you are not an morning person, then go in evening. Go for yoga, zumba, strength training or a simple walk, once you join I am sure you will like it.

9. Professional help: take help of a professionals to achieve your goals. They are specially trained in their field and will be able to help you better. With so many myths and fads floating on net and around. A good professional can give you an insight that what can work for your body needs and goals. And also keeps a postive tab on you.
