Hi everyone this is it…
The New Years Resolution Diet
It is does not involve starving yourself, it does not involve bucket loads of cabbage and it does not involve eating the same thing day in day out.
I am not a qualified doctor, nutritionist, scientist or obesity specialist. I am however someone who like you faces my weight everyday. I (and those around me) have successfully lost weight in the past and I have used knowledge gathered both by research and my own experiences in the New Years Resolution Diet plan.
Everybody is different and it would be impossible for me to know whats right for each individual. You should consult your doctor if you have any doubts, medical conditions or have had problems in the past.
The New Years Resolution Diet involves mindset, healthy eating and light exercise. The UWLS team has put together some specific weight loss info, motivation tips, an eating plan and an exercise plan.
This post will list some fantastic weight loss information you should read before you kick off the New Years Resolution Diet.
After that move onto the goal setting post (that is an INVALUABLE part of any weight loss plan). Next the eating plan post and finally the exercise post.
Then you’ll be set - LET THE GAMES BEGIN
UWLS Team’s Weight Loss Tips
1. This diet hasn’t been designed to cater to your specific health needs, if you have a pre-existing medical condition consult your doctor before commencing the plan.
2. Never skip breakfast -” no its not an old wives tale it really does help kick start your metabolism
3. Remember to eat small meals once every 3 hours. You should set an alarm or jot down what time you last ate to keep on schedule. This simple tip will keep your metabolism working at its best.
4. Stock your plates with green veges such as brocolli, beans, silverbeet, spinach, lettuce etc. Ideally your plate should be ¾ veges and ¼ lean meat such as chicken, lean beef or a vegetarian alternative.
5. Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water per day. Not only is this great for detoxing your system, it will keep your metabolism ticking too.
6. If you crave something on top of your water intake try green tea or sugar free soft drink alternatives such as Coke Zero, Sprite Zero.
7. Limit your fruit intake to a maximum of 3 pieces per day. While fruit is great for you in moderation, not to mention yummy they do contain a high level of sugar. Stock up on great crunchy, raw veges instead.
8. If you’re a mayo on your salad person opt for a low-calorie dressing, you can find this in your supermarket/health food shop.
9. Always sit down to eat, if you eat standing or in a rush you will feel far less full and be more inclined to eat more.
10. Sleep approximately 8 hours a day, a lack of sleep will lead you to be more hungry and inclined to binge on the wrong foods.
11. Before you start the New Years Resolution Diet clear out ALL the junk food from your kitchen. If its not there, there is NO chance you will cave in a moment of weakness or sneak out for a midnight snack.
12. To avoid the temptations of naughty/non-diet foods take your snack with you when you go out. You’ll find this saves you extra calories and even money.

Let’s face it, all of us have a picture in our head of what we would LOVE our body to look like. With a spur of motivation we exercise, cut down on the sweets and sometimes even resort to going under the knife to shed the excess kilos.
But BEFORE YOU DOING ANYTHING ELSE, it is imperative you set a weight loss goal. Having a defined target is the only way to keep your weight loss on track and your motivation high. Going on a weight loss regimen is not an easy task for anyone, regardless of age or gender - having a weight loss goal helps us find the push that we need to follow our diet plans.
The motivations
Everyone has a different reason for wanting to lose weight. Maybe you want to fit into your pre-baby jeans, you want to sun yourself on the beach this summer, you’re getting married and want to look fantastic or you simply want to feel good about yourself.
There are also some people who go on a weight loss plan for health reasons as in the case of overweight people. For these people it is often a matter of lose weight or face a life plagued with health problems.
The first step in setting a weight loss goal is to ask yourself WHY you want to lose weight. Get a piece of paper and write down what reasons are behind your move to kick some extra pounds to the curb.
Having this in the back of your mind will prove CRITICAL when you’re pounding the pavement at 5am, jumping around the room in aerobics or pushing your limits on the bicycle. When you start to fatigue you can look back to why you’re doing it, the wedding, the bikini, the feeling of shedding your layers of clothing and looking fantastic.
The motivation will justify what you’re doing and it would give you the right push towards achieving your ideal body weight.
Be realistic
Another crucial part of setting a weight loss goal is BE REALISTIC.
Losing 10 pounds in a week is not a realistic objective. It’s not even healthy. If you’re in your forties, aiming for eighteen-year old body isn’t realistic either.
Your goal should be attainable.
According to most specialists, losing two pounds a week is the safest goal you can set. But this will still depend on your body and how much you need to work off.
Talk to your doctor or trainer and ask for advice on the healthy way to lose weight. They would be able to help you find out about how much work out and dieting restriction your body can take.
Get a pen, set your goal NOW
Grab a pen and paper and set your goals NOW.
If you finish reading this post and close the window, you will NOT do it.
** Write down your current weight
** Write down what images come to mind when you think about being slim (the beach, new dress, rugby season, confidence, feeling sexy etc)
** Write down your reasons behind wanting to lose weight (an upcoming event, doctor’s orders, summer season etc)
** Write down what weight you want to aim for, remembering it needs to be a healthy weight for your height/age etc
** Consider putting together a timeline of what weight loss you want to achieve and when (eg. Jan 14th total loss: 2kgs, Jan 30th total loss: 3 kgs etc).
** Finally you need to write what you are going to do to achieve the above weight (eg. exercise 3 x a week or walk once a day etc).
Some people find that they stick to their goals better if they have something to look forward to at each landmark.
For example:
** you could allow yourself your favourite junk food on Saturday night if you stuck to your diet all week.
** get your partner to agree to take you somewhere special if you achieve xx amount of weight loss
** pick out something in your favourite clothes shop and buy it when you reach xx kilos
Hope this helps you setting your weight loss goals and achieving your dream body!!
