1. Keep a food diary (so important and yet 80% of people on a program don’t wanna do this)
2. Do not weigh yourself everyday. Once a week at MOST. I like twice a month.
3. Have green tea everyday
4. Drink extra water everyday
5. Chicken and fish over red meat
6. Eat breakfast
7. Eat breakfast – yey I said it twice!
8. Be patient
9. Visualize everyday what you wanna look and feel like. Don’t underestimate this technique. All successful people use the power of visualization
10. Use a clothes motivator like a pair of jeans that you can’t fit into right now. Take those out of the closet and hang them in a place where you can see them everyday. Ya gotta see your goals
11. Be-Do-Have
This is from a great book called “Conversations With God”…the author says in life, in order to get or give birth to what we want we have to follow the “Be-Do-Have” principle. Go read that book – it’s awesome.
12. Start taking vitamins
13. Snack 2-3 times a day
14. Add protein in every meal and in most snacks when possible
15. Eat at home more
16. Share dinner with a friend
17. Get rid of bread and butter at the dinner table
18. No desserts for 2 weeks
19. Eliminate soda
20. Workout 1 more day each week
21. Hang out with other people with similar goals for 30 days
22. Believe in yourself
23. Remember that it’s not just about your “look”, it’s about your health and life expectancy. WOW!
24. Eat only half your dinner and take the other half home in a doggie bag.
25. Avoid alcohol or greatly reduce.
26. Do 100 jumping jacks twice a day for 30 days
27. Lift heavier weights so put down the 3’s and 5’s and pick up the 8’s and 10’s or more…we all know by know that adding lean muscle tone to a body not only skyrockets your metabolism ALL DAY LONG but causes the body to change shape giving you that lean, toned sexy body.
28. Go into your refrigerator and your pantry right now and throw out all crap. You have 20 minutes and then come back and read the rest of this. GO-GO-GO!
29. Stop starving yourself and eat! Extreme dieting can cause body fat storage.
30. Tell your best friend that you really wanna lose the love handles and have her help you stay on track.
31. Make a bet with your best friend that every time he or she sees you eating something bad, you have to cough up 10 bucks!
32. Don’t eat after 9pm…ANYTHING
33. Make your weekends ACTIVE weekends. Try walks, hikes, zoos, biking, swimming as opposed to window shopping at the mall, nothing, movies, or driving long distances to a friends house to get out of the car and eat.
34. Every morning wake up and say “today I’m 1 more step toward my goal…thank you for another day”
35. Do not eating anything that says the words “high fructose corn syrup” on the label

38. Enjoy the journey, not the destination.

By the way, just to be clear – eating fast food is NOT what I recommend doing.
However, in the rare event that you do drive thru a fast food joint, these videos make it possible to save calories, limit fat and carbohydrate intake and make the higher protein, lower calorie choice.
With that said, check out this video as I made a BETTER choice…

After the small chili (220 calories), the side salad (25 calories) with no dressing, the mandarin orange cup (90 calories) and a bottle of water, I only ate 335 calories of food. That is really awesome.
1 medium french fries is 410 calories so I ate all that food and still came in 75 calories less than fries plus I had food that’s good for you.
Other Good Choices (add a mandarin orange cup or side salad if you’re hungry)
* The Ultimate Chicken Grilled Sandwich – 370 calories and only 7 grams of fat.
* The Grilled Chicken Go Wrap – 260 calories and only 10 grams of fat.
* The Small or Medium Chili is still my favorite!
DO NOT GET….
The Chicken Club Sandwich – it’s 630 calories and 31 grams of fat…yikes!
