We all know that diet and health go hand in hand. Yet most people eat junk and are unhealthy. And those that do decide to try to get healthy often use “fad” diets. These microwave dinner diets are the lazy and unhealthy solution to weight problems. They are loaded with chemicals and preservatives and will not be effective long-term.
“If you want things in your life to change, you need to change the things in your life.”
Diet and health is quite simple. The only diet that is healthy is one that includes organic fruits, vegetables, and nuts. I don’t care what you look right now if you start eating organic fruits and vegetables for three weeks you will lose weight, your overall health will sky-rocket and you will feel better than you ever have before.
Here Are Some Easy Steps That Can Help You Succeed
To make a drastic diet change like this is not easy, but it can be done with the right combination of vision and desire. One of the most important steps in achieving perfect diet health that is often ignored is the concept of visualization.
You need to visualize what you want your body to look like, not what it looks like right now, and feel how you would feel if you were already really healthy. Believe it or not this mental exercise, if done for fifteen minutes a day, will drastically improve your motivation to eat right and exercise.
Trying on clothes that don’t fit is also great diet and health motivation. Don’t get frustrated that they don’t fit, try to “feel” how happy you will be when you do fit into them. Imagine how others will look at you in those new clothes. Soon enough you will be able to fit into those clothes and your motivation to eat right and watch your health will be self-sustaining.
How To Keep Diet And Health A Priority
Your overall health should be your primary focus. Why? Because it makes you feel good. And there is nothing that is more rewarding than feeling good.
When you feel good all aspects of your life improve. This is what should really inspire you.
Have Someone Hold You Accountable
Improve your diet and health with someone else. If you can work with someone else, or at the least have someone you know keep you accountable by keeping track of your progress, you will find the motivation you need to get healthy.
The tips provided above are intended to make you realize that the only thing keeping you from achieving a perfect diet and health is you. If you don’t like what you are seeing in the mirror everyday you need to make some fundamental changes in your lifestyle. If you do make the right changes and stick to them, I promise that in due time you will feel better than you have ever felt before.
