Control your portions. Successful dieters don't supersize their
meals.
Eat a diet consisting of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low-fat
protein sources, and limit the total amount of fat, alcohol, and
unhealthy treats.
Start your day with a healthy breakfast that includes some protein,
in the form of low-fat milk, yogurt, lean meats, or an egg. Many
overweight people skip breakfast. Start living life like a thin person,
and make breakfast a healthy habit. (Formula 1 Shake provides high
quality soy protein, healthy carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, amino
acids and other nutrients to provide the cells of your body what they
need for optimum health.* )
Find physical activities that you enjoy or sneak exercise into your
daily routine by walking to work, taking the stairs, or parking in the
outer reaches of the parking lot. Whichever you choose, do it daily, for
the cardiovascular, stress reduction and calorie-burning benefits.
Don't try to manage your stress with food. Many people eat in
response to stress. Food does not help you cope with stress; it
simply adds calories to your daily total. Find more effective
alternatives: exercise, take a bath, call a friend, surf the internet. Just
steer clear of the kitchen!
Keep track of what you eat each day with a food journal or diary.
This is an excellent way to acknowledge what you eat and be proud of
your accomplishments. Take time to celebrate your achievements
and reward yourself for all your hard work.
Read labels to determine the healthiest food options. Nutrition
labels offer a wealth of information to help you make good choices.
Pay attention to the serving size, calories, fat, sodium, and sugars.
Stay motivated! It is easy to fall off the wagon, but when you have a
buddy to help and support you it is easier to brush yourself off and get
right back on the plan. Let your friends and family support and help
you through the rough times.

Strategies for Successful Dieting
Make small changes in your life that work for you. Drink 1% or 2% milk instead of whole, and then
when you're accustomed to that, eventually switch to skim. Try lighter or low-fat versions of your
favorite mayonnaise, salad dressings, cheeses, snacks, etc..
Eat with a sense of purpose: Savor the flavors and engage your senses so that you truly
acknowledge that you are eating. Forget the mindless munching that happens while you cook,
drive, or watch television.
