Realistic goals need patience and time. Set realistic goals you can stick with as the body takes time to adjust through the changes.
Aim to lose half pound to one pound of weight per week with exercise and diet side by side.
Don't cut off all your carbohydrates at once, as this will increase your cravings and you will cheat the plan eventually.
Don't break your diet just because you started noticing some progress in your weight losing plan.
Don't trust the scale all the time. The increase in number can be water weight due to hydration, bloating or periods.
As our age increases it slows down metabolism, so make goals according to your age.
Decide which schedule suits you better. Is it to lose weight daily, weekly, or monthly?
Sudden weight loss can risk your health, so never opt for it and take the process slow and steady.
Always remember: a weight loss diet is not about making resolutions, it's about making habits.
