Lose Weight: Best New Year Resolution
Weight loss programs are in big vogue after the winter holidays, as we all get a few extra pounds, thanks to all those great traditional meals. Getting the pounds was the easy part of the game. The most difficut task is now to get rid of them and see our clothes fit again. If you look at people’s New Year resolutions, you’ll see that year 2009 makes no exception to this slimming rule: many of my friends wish to find the best way to lose 5 pounds within the next weeks. It matters less what path they choose to lose weight: be it the 3 days diet, or the grapefruit diet, or simply more exercise and less food, the desire is the same in all cases: get slim. Honestly speaking, no 3 days diet can make you fit again if you’ve been eating like a pig, so you’d better try to change your eating habits if you want to look good. Do you think Claudia Schiffer, Paris Hilton or Britney Spears eat like you during holidays? Actually they are on a perpetual diet, they’ve changed their metabolism, so they don’t feel those holidays cravings which push some of us into continuous eating. Combine this food with plenty of alcohol and you’ll acquire a lot of calories intake, which will translate into fat. Traditional food is heavy, fat and mostly not that healthy, despite its great taste. This is why the weight loss as a new year’s resolution is so popular amongst the Americans and not only. Europeans eat a lot during winter holidays too. Now the time has come to be sorry for all those calorie rich steaks and bacons and fast food style goodies. This is salads time, broccoli’s time, so next year maybe you’ll think twice before eating that much.
What do you think: is losing weight the best New Year’s resolution in 2009 for you, too?
