We know what you will do this summer…

Weight watch
Plan a meal ahead
Planning to lose weight reinforces that you're committed to change, and it keeps you more accountable. Beginning a weight loss diet is like beginning a journey. Like any other journey, it needs good preparation. Planning your meal ahead helps to beat the temptations and difficulties that we might face, once we attempt to modify our consumption habits and life style.
Be loud and clear: Tell the few people closest to you that you are on a diet and, if you're comfortable, spread the word even further. Learn to say NO. Say goodbye to junk food.
Self possession: Give priority to your meals. Understand the importance of taking time to enjoy your meals, indoors or out and savoring every bite. Relaxing while eating also gives you a chance to de-stress and clear your mind.
