BACKGROUND:
Research shows1 that only about 9 percent of people actually achieve their resolution goals. Whenever people set weight-loss resolutions, they seem to set out to rid their cabinets of junk food, hit the gym and start fresh. But while most of us start out with the best of intentions, we often employ the worst of strategies.
Tips for Keeping Your Resolutions
What are 5 Tips you can adopt to help make your resolutions stick?
o Make Achievable Resolutions
o Make Resolutions Specific
o Prioritize Your Resolutions
o Commit to Your Resolutions
o Build a Support System
For those whose resolutions include losing weight or eating better, eating balanced meals is very important.
o Herbalife Nutrition recommends a balanced meal like this:
* Whole and intact grains?whole wheat, barley, wheat berries, quinoa, oats, brown rice, and foods made with them, such as whole wheat pasta?have a milder effect on blood sugar and insulin than white bread, white rice, and other refined grains.
* Fish, chicken, beans, and nuts are all healthy, versatile protein sources?they can be mixed into salads, and pair well with vegetables on a plate. Limit red meat, and avoid processed meats such as bacon and sausage.
* Choose healthy vegetable oils like olive, canola, soy, corn, sunflower, peanut, and others, and avoid partially hydrogenated oils, which contain unhealthy trans-fats. Remember that low-fat does not mean "healthy."
* Skip sugary drinks, limit milk and dairy products to one to two servings per day, and limit juice to a small glass per day.
What role does a meal replacement shake or protein shake have in a healthy, active lifestyle?
o Meal replacements come in many forms, including Herbalife® Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix, or protein shakes and Herbalife® Formula 1 Protein Bars. It's an ideal way to boost your protein intake throughout the day, while reducing your caloric intake for that meal. Many people find that an easy way to jump start their diet is to replace two meals with a meal replacement shake or bar, then have a calorie-controlled, healthy entrée as their third meal with extra veggies and salad on the side.
o Taking a meal replacement or protein shake as part of your pre- or post-workout meal will supply your muscles with quality amino acids that are important to your workout recovery and ultimately to your weight loss.
Advice to jump start your fitness resolution?
o Take action, but take it slow:
* Start by reaching to the ceiling or gently rolling your neck. Over time, try to build from two minutes of action to five. Any movement is better than no movement.
* Walk around your place of work. Every step takes you a little higher up that fitness mountain.
* Use your community to help you rebuild and get fit by inviting family and friends to join you. You probably aren't the only person you know who wants to get fit.
* Pace yourself.
* Commit to taking action.
