(Food-Beverage-News.Com, October 10, 2014 ) Oakland, CA -- Losing weight is a slow process that needs discipline and commitment to be a success. The long journey that this entails prompts individuals to start on any new diet plan right away without really thinking of the challenges they're going to face during the whole process. Kitchenware brand Finesseur says any weight loss plan may be bound for failure when weight watchers don't have the right preparation before starting on a new diet.
"People are so keen at shedding those excess pounds immediately that they tend forget to psyche themselves up before the whole process," says Finesseur spokesperson Allison Montgomery. "Being prepared separates the winners from the losers in the dieting game. There are essential steps that need to be followed before plunging into any diet plan."
Montgomery adds that equipping one's self with basic preparation information is fundamental before starting any diet plan. "You don't want to be always stuck with starting all over again on your diet plan or going after whatever diet trends are available. It doesn't have to be a vicious cycle when you're armed with basic preparation information that can make any weight loss plan tailored to you easily workable in the long run."
With their new guide, Finesseur aims to help weight watchers maintain their weight loss by providing basic tips on how they can adopt the right habits to make losing weight a success. The guide also walks individuals through the importance of keeping the right tools handy to aid in weight management. Shares Montgomery: "This guide zeroes in on what you need to know to lose weight the right and healthy way."
Essential steps before setting up a weight loss plan
1. Consult with a healthcare provider. Checking in with a physician or a healthcare provider is a must to ensure one is healthy enough to take on any diet plan, or get suggestions on any weight loss recommendation that fit one's medical condition. This is also a good time to know one's BMI (body mass index) to understand how much pounds one needs to lose to achieve an ideal weight.
2. Personalize weight loss goals. Set goals tailored according to specific needs and lifestyle. Defining one's personal needs and lifestyle can make choosing a weight management program easy and helps one stay on track. Create a deadline for weight loss goals and be firm about meeting that deadline.
3. Know food habits before dieting. Keep a journal for tracking one's present diet. This way, one can know how many calories one eats on a daily basis and how this current diet should be modified to make healthy food choices.
4. Make the kitchen health-friendly. Adopting healthy eating habits is important in losing weight. Keep the kitchen stocked with healthy food choices like lean meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, and low-fat or fat-free dairy products. Make sure also that it is free from high-calorie, high-starch snacks and other unhealthy indulgences.
5. Keep essential weight loss tools handy. Equip the kitchen with tools that promote healthy food preparation and cooking such as a blender that can be used for making fresh smoothies and low-fat yogurt shakes; a rice steamer for cooking brown rice or steaming vegetables, fish and chicken; a broiler pan for broiling chicken breasts; a non-stick skillet which cooks with less fat than a regular skillet; and a countertop grill for grilling, which is healthier than frying.
Make sure the kitchen is also equipped with measuring tools that promote food portion control, like a digital food scale. Explains Montgomery, "Keeping food portions in check allows you to lose weight more effectively. Kitchen scales like the Finesseur Digital Food Scale measures your food portions accurately to achieve healthy amounts of food you need for your weight loss regime. Make sure you have one ready before you actually start on your weight loss plan so you can be more disciplined and inspired to eat healthy."
By following these easy steps, individuals can be more prepared for what's ahead when undertaking any weight loss program. Adds Montgomery, "Laying the groundwork before starting with any diet plan can make your weight loss journey easier, and your health and fitness goals more possible to achieve."
