For years I have known if I did just five things that I would lose weight. They were:
1. Drink water
2. Plan meals
3. Schedule exercise
4. No eating after 7 pm
5. Take supplements
I did this with Atkins, counting Weight Watcher points and now on the UNC plan. When ever I did these things I lost weight. Why didn't it work in the past? Because I stopped doing one or more of the 5 key things that made me successful. Perhaps it was too many things maybe they weren't the right things that I could keep up long term, or it wasn't the right time. Still, for me, these are some of the key behaviors that make me a healthier person. It is just a matter of doing them. We all know what we need to do to be healthier.
The 5 things keep me focused and help me to keep making better choices. Now they are pretty much habits, since I have been doing them so long continually. What are your top 5? Now just do!
