dieting tips

I'm sure we have heard most of these diet tips before, but sometimes we forget the simple basics of a good and healthy diet.

Do not starve yourself!!! Doing so only slows down your metabolism.
Exercise...Find an exercise regimen that's right for you. Remember walking is one of the best exercises. Water exercise is also great for everyone, especially those with arthritis. Water exercise is great because it allows you to exercise without putting stress on your bones.
Drink...Drink...then Drink some more!!! Be sure to drink at least eight 8oz glasses of water a day. Water is so beneficial to your body in so many ways. So Drink to your health!!!
Find a friend... Dieting is hard, let's face it, but if you can find a friend to diet with it really helps.
Make a grocery list, before you go to the grocery store... Don't forget to take it with you!!! Stick to your list and it will help your diet as well as your budget.
Don't go grocery shopping hungry!!! Need I say more???
Don't say diet!!! Diet really is a four letter word. You are just trading in your old bad eating habits for new good ones.
Write it down!!! Write down everything you eat, you would be surprised what you won't eat if you have to write it down!!!
Weight doesn't matter!!! Yeap, that's right !!! Work on how your clothes fit and how you feel, not what the scale reads
Be positive!!! Always try to have a positive attitude. The weight didn't magically appear, so don't expect it to magically disappear... BE PATIENT
Eat until you are satisfied, not until you are stuffed!!!
