Don't crash diet. Crash diets tend not to offer a balanced
nutritional lifestyle. Muscles can become mushy and your body can end up not
functioning properly. The body will slow down and conserve energy by making you
slow down. Remember, a good diet will leave you feeling fresh and exhilarated.
So before you diet, bear in mind these basic rules:
- Eat a variety of
foods.
- Don't rely on a
diet that forces you to eat specific kinds of food such as grapefruit.
- The body needs a
variety of nutrients and no one food provides all you need for a healthy body.
- Don't eat less than
1200 calories a day. Anything lower than this can pose a major threat to health
and the heart muscle.
- Don't eat big meals
late at night. The chance of burning the calories off by bedtime is slim.
- Make sure you eat.
Don't skip meals. Missing one meal can mean you eating too much at the next
meal. Get a goods night rest.
- Go to bed at the
same time every night. Avoid caffeine drinks, such as coffee and cola after 6
or 7pm.
- Cut out the alcohol
after your evening meal. It interferes with sound sleep.
- And finally,
exercise regularly and moderately.
