10-tips to lose weight

Everyone is busy these days. Free time is hard to find, so you have to make the time. It is easier than you think.

There's an alternative to dieting that does work. It's called The Caryl Ehrlich Program, and it is changing the way people view weight loss entirely. Instead of countless diets, The Program teaches participants one-on-one 10 behavioral steps to change habits of thought and word to lose weight and keep it off forever.

Here are 10-tips to lost weight for your honeymoon and keeping it off...

Ten behavioral tips for weight loss:

1. Before consuming any food ask:

a) Am I hungry or what? (Am I lonely, tired, bored, frustrated, sleepy or grumpy?)

b) Am I hungry enough to put food on a plate and eat it with a knife and fork?

c) Am I hungry enough to create a relaxing meal lasting 20 minutes or more?

2. If hungry, choose to create a relaxing, pleasant meal, lasting 20 minutes or more with food on a plate to be eaten with utensils (not fingers), and write details in your logbook.

3. When having a platter of food, order what you like but eat slowly and thoughtfully taking little bites of food interspersed with sips of water and conversation.

4. Put utensils down between bites of food. Do not insert more food into mouth before mouth is empty.

5. If you find you’re leaving more and more food on your plate, next time order less, buy less, prepare less, and serve less because you are less.

6. Drink eight to 10 glasses of water each day.

7. Keep a log of all food consumed: Day, date, morning weight, and what you ate. If it’s not water, it’s food. Write it down.

8. If you’re not hungry but thinking of food, create new coping strategies of thought, word, and action, to replace your old habit of using food to distract yourself from feelings and thoughts you don’t want to feel or think.

9. No matter what you thought you should have done, could have done, didn’t do or wanted to do, you’re only human. Get back on your weight loss path at the very next meal and figure out what just happened that caused you to go off your path, you who want to weigh _____ pounds.

10. Never stop trying.
