1. Set Realistic Goals:

Setting realistic goals is the first step to achieving success on your healthy journey.

The problem with this point is that people sometimes misunderstand what a realistic goal is.

Don’t think about settling for anything.

We are sure that whatever you set out to do, you can achieve it. Here the important thing is  the methodology and the times.

Do not try to lose what you gained in 1 year in 1 week before the beach vacation, it would be exaggeratedly complicated or worse, if you are used to eating sugar or sweets daily, do not take them off at once, you will only suffer and most likely that you relapse.

Instead of trying to make drastic changes all at once, focus on making small, sustainable changes over time. This approach will help you stay motivated and avoid burnout.

2. Make a Plan:

Creating a sustainable meal plan can help you stay on track and make healthy choices. Start by determining your goals and planning your meals and snacks in advance. This will help you avoid impulsive decisions and ensure that you have healthy options on hand.

3. Keep Healthy Foods on Hand:

You don’t need to learn about Macros and see the ingredients of each product you consume. Go for the basics. If you are craving something sweet try to have fruit or low calorie bars on hand, if you want something salty try nuts, cheese or turkey. The point is that when you have a craving, or are hungry, first look for these foods and if after eating the fruit you still want a sweet, go ahead.

It is always important to know if what you are craving is hunger or pleasure.
