Slow And Steady
by Noel Chelliah on Sunday, Dec 4, 2005
Want a recipe for disaster? Try doing too much, too soon. Most people grasp this concept with weight training, but why do they fall short when it comes to nutrition? Think “better,” not “perfect” when changing your nutrition habits.
You want to crash? Go on a fad diet.
You want to change? Transform your lifestyle.
Small changes over time tend to last longer than quick-fixes like fad diets or magic pills and supplements.
For example, if you’re currently hooked to canned soft drinks, don’t jump straight to water. You will find yourself craving for something cold and fizzy in no time. Instead, ease into it. You could try switching to diet soft drinks at first. After you are used to the change, try sparkling mineral water. Finally, the transition to water. Make small changes, get used to them, and you’ll be on your way to a fitter you! As for me, I’ve always loved a cool glass of water, with a hint of lemon.
