- 1. Set Your Healthy Weight Management Goal
Being at a healthy weight reduces your risk of a variety of diseases and improves your quality of life. Plus, you'll look great in the mirror!
An easy way to determine your weight-related health risk is to use a combination of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Body Mass Index (BMI)
For most people, this mathematical calculation provides a fairly accurate approximation of health risk as it relates to weight.
- 2. Find Your Inner Motivation and Stay Motivated
- To be successful at controlling your weight, you need to figure out what will give you the desire to succeed. Start by asking yourself why you want to control your weight. There may be several reasons, such as improved health, more energy, or a better body. Make a list of your reasons for losing weight and write down why each one matters to you.
- 3. Find Support
- For weight control success, it pays to partner up. People who embark on a diet program together are far more likely to stick to it, and studies show that they get better results than those who try to manage their weight alone. If you're unable to involve anyone else, then at least be accountable to yourself. Don't become a slave to the scale, as weight can fluctuate from day to day because of the body's water content, but weigh in regularly and record your weight in a journal; you'll soon see the numbers going down. And be sure to review your reasons for controlling your weight frequently to help keep yourself on track.
- 4. Adopt Healthy Eating Habits
- If you continue to do things the same way, you'll continue to get the same results. Successful weight management involves some changes to your daily eating routine, but don't worry - those changes can actually be enjoyable, and you'll love the results! Here are some simple keys to success:
- Eat a healthy breakfast
- Eat vegetables and fruits
- Eat whole grains
- Eat healthy fats
- Drink adequate amounts of water
- Pay attention to your food
- Avoid the sugar bowl
- Watch those snacks
- Follow the TAIslim Ultimate Food Plan
- 5. Exercise
- The TAIslim system is designed to boost your metabolism and give you the energy to maximize any type of exercise. When developing an exercise program, make sure to include the following three areas of activity: strength training (muscle helps to burn fat!); cardiovascular exercise; and stretching for flexibility.
- 6. Take A Multivitamin Supplement
- Taken with food, a complete high-potency multivitamin helps increase your energy so you can maximize your exercise program. FreeLife’s REVERSE!™ contains research-recommended potencies of key nutrients that have been shown in studies to assist in weight control.
- 7. Get Adequate Sleep
- The body rejuvenates and repairs itself while you are sleeping, and, if you are not sleeping well, you will not manage your weight properly. For optimum sleep quality, go to bed at a regular time every night in a cool, comfortable, dark, and noise-free bedroom, and avoid late-afternoon naps.
- 8. Drink TAIslim™, Eat SKINNYs™
- Don't sit down for breakfast or lunch without your TAIslim™ liquid! Just mix 60 mL with 240 to 300 mL of water and drink right before you start to eat. TAIslim liquid helps to control appetite, and clinical studies have shown that this effect is increased dramatically by replacing snacks with TAIslim™ SKINNYs™.
