THERE ARE SEVERAL DIETS ANDLIFESTYLE CHANGE PROGRAMSOUT THERE, BUT HOW DO YOU

KNOW WHICH ONE IS LEGITAND WILL WORK FOR YOU IN

THE LONG RUN?

DIETS ARE A TEMPORARY FIX

THEY WORK, BUT ONLY FOR A SHORTAMOUNT OF TIME

ONCE YOU STOP AND GO BACK TOYOUR OLD HABITS, THE WEIGHT

CREEPS UP AGAIN

DIETS OFTEN RESTRICT WHAT YOUCAN EAT . THEY DO NOT ADDRESS

CHANGING YOUR HABITS AND THEWAY YOU THINK ABOUT FOOD

A LIFESTYLE CHANGE WORKSBECAUSE IT CHANGES YOUR

HABITS THAT ARE LEADING YOUTO WEIGHT GAIN DEPENDING ON YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION

THERE ARE MANY MARKETERSTHAT USE LIFESTYLE CHANGETERMINOLOGY WHEN THEY

ARE ACTUALLY ADVERTISINGANOTHER DIET

HERE ARE A FEW WAYS YOU CANTELL A DIET FROM A

LIFESTYLE CHANGE PROGRAM

Many Restrictions

Any program that tells you to

restrict/omit certain foods when

you do not have a specific health

condition like, Type II Diabetes or

food sensitivities, is likely a diet.

For most people without health

conditions, you can eat all foods

as long as you learn how to

balance them appropriately

Counting, counting, &more counting

Counting calories, fat, carbs, or

anything does not address habits,

it becomes a temporary fix

A lifestyle change will highlight

how to balance your meals and

what foods to eat more of daily

This type of insight naturally

lowers your calorie level, fat, carbs,

etc. with no counting necessary.

Eating the same menudaily or weekly

Eating planned meals instead of

learning how to meal plan on your own

is similar to counting calories, it

provides a temporary fix

Your old habits are still on standby

when you get bored.

Look for a program that gives you

simple steps on how to meal plan on

your own. It is okay to use structured

meal plans to get started, but make

sure you are also getting support so you

can do it on your own

The same programfor everyone

Is this plan personalized just for you?

It should be, because no two people

are alike.

For example, if you are in your 50's

and have Type II Diabetes, your diet

recommendations for weight loss

will drastically differ from a 25 year

old with no health issues.

You are unique and need a

personalized plan

Promises quickresults

A dramatic weight loss in a short

amount of time can damage the body

by losing muscle, bone, and water too

quickly.

You should only be losing about 1/2

pound to 1 pound a week

No Exercise Needed

Be suspicious of diet plans that

do not require you to exercise. This

does not change your behavior

towards a healthy lifestyle.

Physical activity is important in

weight loss and helps provide long

term health benefits

Aim for at least 30 to 60 minutes of

physical activity most days of the

week

Good Foods vs Bad Foods

A good lifestyle program should

educate you on how to see food.

Foods are often differentiated as

'good' food or 'bad' food, but all foods

can be bad and good, depending on

how much of it you consume.

Of course, there are foods that are

better for you, but nothing is off limits

as long as it does not conflict with

your health ie. diabetes, food

allergies, etc.

Moderation is key

LIFESTYLE CHANGE IS ABOUT

CHANGING HABITS

MANY PROGRAMS PROVIDE A HYBRIDOF SOME QUICK FIX LIKE COUNTING

CALORIES OR STRUCTURED MEALPLANS AND SUPPORT TO MAKE LONG-

TERM CHANGES

WHEN CHOOSING A PROGRAM MAKESURE IT INCLUDES GUIDANCE FOR

MAKING CHANGES AND NOT JUST AQUICK FIX
