4 Ways To Stick To Your Diet Plan

December 22, 2020 Posted by David Nickum Uncategorized No Comments

According to a brain study, the gray matter volume in the brain predicts your ability to exercise control over your food choices, and this volume differs from person to person.

If you find it hard to stick to your diet, it’s not your fault; it could be your brain playing games with you, and you need to learn to fight it.

Arm yourself against it with these helpful tips.

Prep Your Meals

This is the single most important thing you need to do when going on a diet. Pick a day of the week—the weekend, for example—to prepare each of your meals. Cook the protein, the veggies and whatever else needs to be cooked and divide it into portions and refrigerate it.

You need to do this because, on a typical day, you may not have the time or the patience to think deeply about what you need to consume to stay healthy and therefore, you will go for quick, easy and possibly unhealthy options.

If you’re not sure about what constitutes “healthy,” get in touch with one of our nutritional coaches and let them guide you.

Toss the Triggers

Triggers include foods, places, or even people. Anything or anybody that makes you want to cheat on your diet NEEDS TO GO.

This means all those chocolate chip cookies, nuts, cheese, ice cream, and other unhealthy or sugary items in your pantry or refrigerator need to be given away.

If you’re an emotional eater, you need to stay away from people who negatively affect your moods, such as certain co-workers, friends, and family.

And needless to say, restaurants that do not have diet-friendly options are off the list. Eating out is okay, but that does not have to equate to eating unhealthily.

Distract yourself

Any craving that you experience will take about 2 to 10 minutes to subside. The key is to distract yourself during this period by doing something productive and completely unrelated to food until that urge to cheat is gone.

You can do plenty of things, like making a pending phone call, water your plants or scroll on Instagram until that urge is over.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking water is so important when it comes to losing weight. Not only is water going to give you glowing skin and fill up your tummy, but drinking cold water, in particular, will also help you burn calories; the colder, the better.

The switch from eating everything you want to only eating what’s good for your body is hard. Initially, we all feel like we have zero self-control; the cravings are mind-altering. But it’s not impossible to stick to your diet.

About David Nickum

David S. Nickum is an inspirational fitness professional with over 10 years in the health and wellness industry. What he brings to any workout program is a deep understanding of anatomy, nutrition, and exercise physiology. His programs are unique, innovative, educational, and customized to get the job done quickly. He is a cutting edge professional who builds a program that fits your individualized goals. Starting out in the field of automotive technology industry, David had a lot of problems with pain in the lower back. This led him to the world of health and wellness. David was tired of getting prescribed pills to address his problems and he knew that physical therapy would only be a short-term fix, so he decided to learn about the human body to fix the problem on his own. Being a musician has helped David to also apply an artistic approach to health and wellness. He always told me; “exercise is an art just as much as a science”, he was right, every human is different and needs an artistic touch to get the most out of a workout. Throughout his career, David has developed a deep understanding about the human body. He started out only knowing the basics. Seven years later he has become a leader in the field of fitness, he designed his own style of training which works on posture, metabolism, pain management, and performance. After working with David my life has never been better, the pain in my body is gone for the first time in 10 years. After only 6 months of training I feel like a new person. I feel and look the best I have in years. He gave me the education and the tools I needed to prevent failure in the future. He gave me a new lease on life and I am thankful for that everyday.
